Hear that unsettling creak? That’s the sound of the door cracking open on Steam Next Fest, and Perp Games is bringing two truly terrifying demos along from October 13th to the 20th!
Abandon all hope, ye who enter, because those with a flatscreen palette can take on a retro horror FPS in the style of Doom 3 and Undying meets Painkiller or dive headfirst into a gruelling WWI survival nightmare in VR.
This way for horror titles ——->

Doom 3 and Undying meets Painkiller in Painted in Blood; an intense, modern horror FPS game created by developer MadCraft. Designed as a love letter to classic single-player horror shooters while pushing visual and gameplay boundaries, players step into the haunting realm of an artist’s twisted palette of nightmares.
Face an onslaught of grotesque monsters with an arsenal of bada** weapons to unleash in fast-paced, unrelenting combat, all while collecting pieces of the unfolding story.
Featuring a dynamic sanity system that changes the course of both gameplay and visuals based on your mental state and performance, Painted in Blood demands that composure be kept firmly in check to survive the dark and gritty aesthetic.
A visceral slice of the Prologue and First Level will be available during Steam Next Fest. More information to come next week on its launch into Early Access. The trailer can be watched here.
Trenches VR is an intense World War I survival horror game where players must escape the claustrophobic trenches to return to their family. To survive, players must elude relentless monsters, collect clues, and fight for their sanity in a nightmarish, shifting environment where the lines between reality and delusion blur.
The game features an intricate sound design where hearing is a vital tool and movement and even breathing through the microphone can be a dead giveaway to enemies, making strategic silence and constant movement crucial, as there is only one save.
Experience a bite-sized slice of what’s to come during Steam Next Fest: An introduction to the main mechanics of the game and its immersive environment on PCVR.
Trenches VR launches across PCVR, Meta Quest, PSVR2 on October 22nd for 14,99€ / £9.99. Watch the trailer here.
Stay spooky!
