Embrace the Spooky Thrills of “Dead Season” This October!


As the leaves turn golden and the lights grow longer, gamers everywhere are gearing up for the spookiest season of the year. October delivers the spooky fun games that some gamers look forward to year after year. Dead Season is set to deliver chills and thrills, making it the perfect addition to your Halloween gaming lineup. Your mission is to guide a group of survivors to safety while upgrading their skills as they fight their way through hordes of zombies that react to every sound. Can you escape the grip of the outbreak?

Dead Season is a survival horror game that plunges players into a post-apocalyptical world packed with zombies and eerie environments. Developed by Snailbite, Dead Season pulls you in with detailed visuals, a spooky storyline, and heart-pounding gameplay.



October is obviously synonymous with all things spooky, making it the ideal month for developers to release horror-themed games like “Dead Season.” Here’s why we appreciate publishers timing their releases for this season:


  1. Atmospheric Alignment: The eerie ambiance of October, with its dark evenings and Halloween festivities, perfectly complements the chilling atmosphere of horror games. Playing “Dead Season” during this time enhances the overall experience.

  2. Seasonal Excitement: Gamers are more drawn to horror content in October, seeking out experiences that match the spooky spirit of the season. This includes some gamers who don't normally prefer to play horror-based games.

  3. Community Engagement: October is a time when some gaming communities come together to celebrate horror games. From streaming marathons to themed events, the release of games like Dead Season during this month allow for shared excitement and fun fright among players & their audience.

    Here's a "How To" on linking your Amazon to Twitch Accounts.

  4. Marketing Synergy: The Halloween season provides ample opportunities for creative marketing campaigns that just feel out of place during other times of the year (unless they fall on Friday the 13th). From spooky trailers to themed merchandise, publishers can leverage the Halloween hype to generate buzz and drive sales because it just makes sense.


Dead Season is set to be a standout title this October for fans of turn-based strategy games, offering gamers a chilling escape into a world of horror and survival to get the survivors to safety. Most horror games aren't normally served up in a turn-based strategy game, so it adds another audience to the mix. So, gear up, turn off the lights, and get ready to face the undead in Dead Season!




 Dead Season is rated M for Mature (Ages 17+)!

Camp Sunshine Opens Its Gates To Consoles This October! (PC/XB/PS/NSW)


Camp Sunshine: A Haunting Adventure Awaits This October

October is here, the season of spookiness is ushered in with thrilling games like Camp Sunshine. Originally a cult hit on PC, this blood-soaked, jump scare-filled game is now making its way to consoles. Players are tasked with solving the mystery of the murderous bear costume-wearing killer.

Camp Sunshine launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, and Nintendo Switch today! This announcement comes from Fossil Games and Hound Picked Games, who are excited to bring this horror experience to a wider audience.

The Only Thing To Fear Is Fear Itself

In Camp Sunshine, players take on the role of Jez, a kid expecting a fun summer camp experience. However, Jez wakes up in the middle of the night to find the campgrounds stained with blood and a relentless killer on the loose. Survival becomes a nightmarish game of cat and mouse, where every shadow hides danger.


No Tears, Please. It’s A Waste Of Good Suffering!

Jez must uncover the twisted mystery behind the Summer Camp Slasher. As the camp’s blood-soaked history unravels, the truth becomes more terrifying than the killer’s rampage. Confronting these horrifying secrets is the only way Jez can hope to survive the night of terror.

Paul, one half of Fossil Games, expressed their excitement: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Camp Sunshine is finally making its terrifying debut on consoles. Back in 2016, when our little two-person team unleashed it on Steam, we were blown away by the incredible response. Now, bringing our love letter to 1980s slasher horror to a whole new audience feels like a hauntingly perfect dream come true. The game was born out of our obsession with horror, and we can’t wait for players to dive into the nightmare once again!”

Features

  • A deadly game of survival where the killer could strike at any moment.
  • Explore the haunting grounds of a fully detailed summer camp.
  • Experience a gripping, spine-chilling narrative that keeps you on edge.
  • Unique lighting mechanics heighten the tension and atmosphere.

The (teddy) bear is coming—better run!
