Japanese-Made Splatter Horror Game ‘CRUELTY’ Available Now [Trailer]

Published

on

Gorehound gamers who polished off the Saw-inspired Gore Doctor when it was released back in March have another title to indulge their love of splatter with Japanese indie developer 838sManiacs’ CRUELTY. Available now on Steam, the Epic Games Store and itch.io, CRUELTY offers up short but sweet gameplay that mixes survival horror with stealth.

The story for CRUELTY is admittedly pretty simplistic: You were in an accident and lost consciousness. Upon waking up, you find yourself in “an abattoir ruled by madness”. To survive, you must “solve numerous mysteries in this world of fear while evading the gaze of monstrous beings as you progress.”

As mentioned, instead of engaging in combat with enemies, CRUELTY has players progressing through stages by solving puzzles while remaining out of sight from threats. A typical session “ranges from 30 to 60 minutes”, with your survival hinging on escaping or concealing oneself.

Featuring a Manhunt-like gritty third-person perspective, CRUELTY is fully voiced “for an immersive experience”, as well as having “immersive high-quality graphics utilizing the latest game engine technology”.

‘Resident Evil’ Cast Reunite With Rebecca Chambers’ Actress [Watch]

Published

on

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie KraslavskyGreg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”

As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”

The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
