Play The Monster In A Horror Movie, Scare The Crap Out Of Your Pals
Damned sounds like every second horror movie you’ve ever seen. Only instead of helplessly watching the four people trapped in the haunted house get eaten/torn/slashed to death, you can take control and try and get them out.
It’s The Horror Game Where You Play As A Toddler, Only More Intense

When Famous Horror Directors Play Terrible Games Based On Their Movies

Of course these movies included pretty actresses who, of course, would disrobe, possibly in the act of hooking up with one of their male friends, before being attacked by the killer.
From Mass Effect To…Death Metal Horror Movies
Richard Boylan, a cinematic artist at BioWare, has spent his waking hours for the last few years working on the Mass Effect series. All that synth, and white walls, and clean space stations…it’s enough to drive a man to make a death metal horror movie.
