Dolmen Preview

Dolmen is a horror action RPG set in the far future in a distant part of the galaxy. Previously having made Tap Hitz on mobile, this is the first major release for Brazilian developer Massive Work Studio. Massive Work made the game in partnership with publisher Prime Matter. And was made possible after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The titular Dolmen is a mysterious mineral whose discovery led to being able to cross into parallel universes. As you may expect this doesn't go well and various monsters and creatures enter our universe. You play as the unnamed protagonist tasked to find out what happened on Revion Prime and recover the mineral. I was able to play this preview version with a full release on PC during 2022 and later planned to be released on PS4 & Xbox One. Slay the...

Damn Dolls Review

October. The time of year where the leaves are falling, Halloween decorations are up, and the constant fear of having it rain on Halloween is in full swing. In honor of it being October, we at Thumb Culture are going to be playing some horror games and writing our thoughts on them, this being one of them. Let us present to you our review for Damn Dolls Damn Dolls is an indie horror game released on Nintendo Switch and PC. It was developed and self-published by first-time game developer Rodrigo Riquetto and was released on October 11th, 2021. Damn Dolls - Those Sure Were Some Damn Dolls I'd say I'm pretty familiar with these types of survival horror games. The stuff where you walk around a scary place in first-person mode and try not to freak out from all the jump scares. I've played ...

31 Days of Halloween – Halloween

31 Days of Halloween - Halloween. So here it is. The final day in our 31 Days of Halloween and we think it's only fitting we leave with its namesake Halloween. Halloween is a video game based on the 1978 horror movie of the same name. Developed by Micro Graphic Image and published by Wizard Video. It was released on the Atari 2600 in 1983. Halloween - Was That The Boogey Man? It only makes sense to end our list with the game based on one of the greatest horror masterpieces of all time.

So if you managed to stick around all month for our 31 Days of Halloween I just wanna say thank you. As I hope you've been enjoying these little features as much as I've been writing them....

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water Review

Do you love photography? Great. How about visiting infamous suicide spots in rural Japan? Amazing! Boy have I got the game for you! Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water marries these together in a very unconventional way that will genuinely keep you awake at night. Long after you turn the console off, every noise in the house will make you tick as the eerie moans of lost spirits linger in your mind. This is survival horror unlike any other you have ever played. There are no guns or grenades. Just you, your torch, and your Camera Obscura. The Project Zero games, otherwise known as Fatal Frame in Japan started out in 2001 on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. After three games, the focus was shifted to the Nintendo market, presumably because motion controls are good for snapping creepy ghost pict...
