Even five minutes is too much: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 launches

Comments3

I’m on the night shift, writing news and drinking things that say “Warning: this amount of caffeine is fatal” on the label. The light in my study is out of commission, so I’m using a lamp that’s not very effective. Most of the light comes from my monitor as I browse press releases, forums and emails. The usual routine. 

But something’s not quite right. Is that a noise coming from Steam? When did I even log into Steam? Wait… is that an animatronic bear? It’s moving towards me now. I think I need to stop breathing. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 just appeared on Steam and it’s probably going to kill me.

Pillars of Eternity comes in two flavours: Hero Edition and Champion Edition

Comment

If you were a bit late to the Kickstarter party and never got a chance to back Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity campaign, you’ve got a second chance to get some of those backer rewards. The game is now available for pre-order, with two editions, one of which comes with a bunch of “premium bonuses”. The regular edition will also contain some mystery items.

This special edition, the Champion Edition, is the version that backers who pledged for a copy of the game will get, at no extra cost.

Fantasy Eugenics Simulator 2014: Massive Chalice appears on Steam Early Access

Comments1

I live in a flat absent any chalices. I confess that I’m not always up to date on what’s in my cupboards, but I did just check, and no, I have no chalices. I did just by a measuring jug, though! That was exciting. Anyway, my chalice-less existence might be at an end, because Double Fine’s fantasy tactics game, Massive Chalice, has just hit Steam Early Access.

It’ll set you back £17.24/$22.49, which includes a week-long 25 percent discount.

The Forest gets a co-op multiplayer update because the cannibals were getting hungry

Comments1

The Forest is simply horrible. I’m forever grateful that it came out before I started Playing With Myself (it’s the joke that keeps on giving), or I would have felt obligated to record what can only be described as some of my lowest moments. Standing in a cave, shouting at a zippo lighter, wishing I was playing a game where the chances of getting attacked by cannibals and then dragged into their underground lair to await dinnertime were very low, it was a bad time. But I did have, I’ll admit, a very good time having this bad time. 

If you are a fellow Stockholm Syndrome sufferer, then you might be pleased to know you can now recruit friends to join you on this nightmarish island, as The Forest now supports co-op multiplayer.
