Silent Hill(s) – The Mistakes of Your Youth
Following the release of ‘P.T’ a horror-themed ‘playable teaser’ involving skin-crawling psychological horror and painfully difficult puzzles, it was revealed that a brand new next-gen entry into the venerable Silent Hill series is on the way.

Holy crap, I though, my AUNT has an Atari ST?? Read more …

Well, Section Games have strived to serve that particular brand of nostalgia with their text-based horror adventure Vlad the Impaler. Read more …
