Layers of Fear: Legacy wishes all horror fans a happy Valentine’s Day!

13th February, 2018 – Cracow, Poland – Bloober Team, the leading developer of psychological horror games, has taken inspiration from famous romance artworks and recreated them as they might have appeared in their upcoming horror game – Layers of Fear Legacy.

Featuring Sir Frank Bernard Dicksee’s Romeo and Juliet and Frederic Leighton’s The Reconciliation of the Montagues and the Capulets over the Dead Bodies of Romeo and Juliet, the art department at Bloober Team has given a horror spin to the art just in time for Valentine’s Day!

To coincide with this romantic holiday, Bloober Team have not only recreated these famous artworks, but also revealed some interesting facts based on the data acquired during the distribution run of the previous Layers of Fear titles.

In spite of widespread stereotypes, almost a half of Layers of Fear players identified as female. Additionally, players’ feedback has indicated that those who enjoy playing horror games will later introduce their significant others to them, making horror games the perfect choice for Valentine’s Day. After all, the psychology of falling in love and being scared are not so different from each other.

In Layers of Fear: Legacy, players are taken on a journey though the delusions of a painter who is slowly descending into madness. Exploring the painter’s mansion, which can shift and change at any moment, players will uncover nightmarish visions and learn the mystery behind the painter and help him create his ultimate masterpiece – a true Magnum Opus.

Layers of Fear: Legacy will launch worldwide on 21stFebruary 2018 and willalso include all of the content known from the praised Inheritance DLC, which provides a new look on the story from the perspective of a new player character.

Indie Publisher Playism Releases New Screenshots Providing First Look at Upcoming YUMENIKKI –DREAM DIARY

OSAKA - Feb. 9, 2018 - Acclaimed Japanese indie publisher PLAYISM released today new screens from its upcoming dream exploration adventure title YUMENIKKI –DREAM DIARY- including a variety of “pages” torn straight from the newly reimagined Dream Diary. The screen shots provide the world's first look upcoming title due to release on Feb. 23 for PC on Steam and Playism.  

In its original form, RPG Maker darling Yume Nikki was a divisively controversial work among fans. By contrast, YumeNikki -Dream Diary- is a collaborative show of the utmost respect for auteur Kikiyama’s seminal release.

The RPG Maker team at Kadokawa has paired up with Active Gaming Media’s development team of ardent Yume Nikki fans to bring you this modern indie title in the form of YumeNikki -Dream Diary-. This diverging follow-up combines influences from the original game and other recent indie juggernauts to create something wholly unique.

YumeNikki -Dream Diary- was created under supervision and with the full cooperation from the original creator, Kikiyama themselves. We hope it will help to create a whole new wave of fans, as well as push the envelope in terms of what RPG Maker games can become.

Featuring "all-new old" original character!

A character dormant in Kikiyama’s imagination (and design documents) surfaces 16 years after Yume Nikki’s original release.
