Ugly is an upcoming third-person horror game for PC by indie game developer Yamaitachi . Inspired by family-centered beliefs and faith, the game follows a young boy named Shu Onodera teams up with Reiko Miyama to confront “Ugliness” using limited resources and defensive measures, as they attempt to escape from a confined space. The game combines survival horror elements-where resource management and stealth are crucial-with “elements that people find unpleasant,” evoked by the concept of ugliness, to create a profound sense of terror. Is it human? A supernatural entity? Or something else entirely? Game Features: ・ A Worldview Inspired by a Unique Faith: Centered on a unique family-based faith and the question “What is the Ugly?”, the game weaves in elements that people find unpleasant to depict a distinctly Japanese brand of horror. ・ Survival Where Resource Management and Stealth Are Key: Utilize limited resources and defensive tools to confront supernatural threats while aiming to escape the enclosed space. ・ Two Distinct Survival Styles: The game features systems where each of the characters, Shu Onodera and Reiko Miyama, confront threats in their own unique way. Though physically weak, Shu can perform emergency evasion using defensive tools like a bat, while Reiko possesses the ability to use cursed energy to destroy supernatural entities. The human drama between the two characters is also a highlight. Ugly is available to wishlist now , and is scheduled for release in late 2026. The game’s Supported Languages will include Japanese: (Audio & Subtitles), English (Subtitles), Chinese (Traditional & Simplified – Subtitles), and Korean. You can check out the brand-new announcement trailer below.  The post Japanese Survival Horror Game “Ugly” Coming to Steam appeared first on Rely on Horror .

Rely On Horror’s PAX West 2026 Round-up

Yet another year at the exciting PAX West show has come and gone. As with previous years, it was a whirlwind of getting exposed to all kinds of great games and experiences, as well as getting to speak with many of the people behind them. This year also had a few special extras, including the first US appearance by Konami in many years, which was an absolute treat. Here’s a rundown of all the cool things we spent time with at PAX West 2026.

Yet another year at the exciting PAX West show has come and gone. As with previous years, it was a whirlwind of getting exposed to all kinds of great games and experiences, as well as getting to speak with many of the people behind them. This year also had a few special extras, including the first US appearance by Konami in many years, which was an absolute treat. Here’s a rundown of all the cool things we spent time with at PAX West 2026. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse One of the absolute highlights this year was getting to try the new Castlevania title, Belmont’s Curse , which is being developed by Evil Empire, responsible for Dead Cells (and its DLC), as well as Brotato . We’re so excited we got to spend 30 minutes with the game. After it’s announcement in February , I had some worries that Belmont’s Curse would adopt some of Dead Cells ‘ rougelike elements instead of sticking true to the legacy of the series. However, after playing, I can absolutely confirm that the game does not have any of those elements. It actually plays quite similar to the 2D IGA Castlevania games, with non-linear exploration and progression fully intact. The controls were extremely responsive and the combat felt satisfying. It also felt just a little faster than classic Castlevania combat (in a good way), without getting fully into the frantic, fast-paced territory of Dead Cells . The game is shaping up to easily be one of the best in the series, and certainly a return to form for fans who are looking for classic Castlevania . Some of the strongest elements I noticed felt like they were being pulled from things like Super Castlevania 4, LOS: Mirror of Fate, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night , and Dead Cells . It all meshed together into its own thing. Aside from getting to try the game itself, Konami really went all-out on the booth, making it feel like you were walking into an ancient, haunted castle. There was even a replica of the spinning cross weapon on display, created by a real armorer. It was an incredible sight to see. Belmont’s Curse is one of our most highly anticipated titles of this year. We’ll have a full review up after the game launches on October 15th, so stay tuned for more. Silent Hill: Townfall Silent Hill: Townfall was a walk-through experience that immersed you in St. Amelia, the small Scottish town where the game is set. This included a whole backdrop with several props and locations, as well as a phone booth where you could make calls to some of the characters. This gave you a taste of what we’ll be anticipating when the game launches later this month. Some of the video devices and radios scattered around also played sounds and dialogue, or video clips from the game. This made for a great atmosphere that felt very Silent Hill -esque. We also got to speak to the art director, who explained how they wanted the town to feel unique. It has its distinct Scottish architecture and feel, but still shares some of the same forces at the heart of the town/story, which will make fans feel like it’s part of the series. We’ll have a review for Townfall later this month. It launches on September 24, so stay tuned! Voidwood We had a chance to check out a fun, new co-op multiplayer horror game called Voidwood . You play as four children who get trapped in a dark forest and must work together to defeat several monsters lurking. You must gather supplies and survive as long as it takes to complete a ritual, get rid of the monsters, and ultimately escape. All the monsters are CPU-controlled and in addition to these enemies, there’s a huge boss that’s essentially indestructible. Your only option is to evade it or you’ll face certain death. There are a number of cool mechanics in Voidwood , including stealth and the fact that the indestructible boss monster has acute hearing. It can even hear you speaking into your headset or microphone when communicating with teammates. However, this can even be used to your advantage. You can yell into your mic to get the monster’s attention, diverting it away from your teammates while they complete a more difficult or time-consuming objective. Of course, it can also lead to your death if you’re not careful. Th

Recently, the studio confirmed a collaboration with legendary British comics publisher 2000 AD to create an original comic story. Konami has confirmed that the comic is inspired by its upcoming Silent Hill release . It explores a prequel story set in St. Amelia and is named Silent Hill: Townfall – The Dock House . Screen Burn Interactive’s own Jon McKellan wrote the comic, with artwork by David Roach (Hard Choices , Dungeons & Dragons ). According to the official press release, The Dock House offers an additional perspective on the isolated island community of St. Amelia, Scotland, expanding the terrifying world and atmosphere of Silent Hill: Townfall . However, it will preserve the game’s mysteries that await players. McKellan said he’s excited to explore the story and let readers experience a slice of the world they’ve written, as well as how it connects to the game. It’s incredibly exciting to expand the world of SILENT HILL: Townfall with a new short story, and a personal milestone for me as a writer to get a chance to contribute to an issue. It feels especially fitting for a game set in the UK to feature in a UK national treasure like 2000 AD, and watching David bring the words to life has been a joy. The Dock House is available from September 16 in the UK, followed by a US release on September 30 . Fans around the world can also read the issue digitally through the 2000 AD Webstore and app .

Massive Steam Leak Reveals Unreleased ‘Scream’ Game From 2011

Over the years, many iconic franchises have become online multiplayer games, and the most recent example is Halloween: The Game , released earlier today. Last week, around 12 TB of Steam data leaked, revealing countless unannounced and canceled games in development from 2003 to 2013. One such title was an unannounced Scream game that was in development around 2011 but never saw the light of day.

Over the years, many iconic franchises have become online multiplayer games, and the most recent example is Halloween: The Game , released earlier today. Last week, around 12 TB of Steam data leaked, revealing countless unannounced and canceled games in development from 2003 to 2013. One such title was an unannounced Scream game that was in development around 2011 but never saw the light of day. An X (formerly Twitter) user, Roly Poly Reaper , shared footage and clips of the title on their account. According to the leaks, the Scream game was in development by Fatshark, the developers behind Warhammer: Vermintide and Warhammer 40K: Darktide . The leaked footage gives us an early look at what the canceled title was supposed to be. The gameplay of the title was pretty simple. Players take on the roles of survivors trying to escape Ghostface, while one player plays as Ghostface. The user found six builds of the title in the recent leak but shared clips from the earliest one. Although there is no clear reason for the cancellation, the X user believes the game was built only as a pitch to secure the license for the franchise. The final build of the game was dated February 2011, just two months before Scream 4’s release. It seems that the pitch was never approved, leading to the whole project being scrapped.

Earlier this summer, Until Dawn 2 was revealed , more than ten years after the original dropped onto our collective PS4s. What made the first game interesting – aside from featuring a young Rami Malek – was its choice-based take on slasher horror. To that end, Sony has released a new trailer, which shows the return of choices in the follow-up. Titled “Choice & Consequence,” the latest teaser gives us a flavour of what to expect in Until Dawn 2 . Much like the announcement trailer, we get a glimpse of the characters and story, along with the tough choices you’ll need to make to survive. Do you sacrifice the rooster or slash a palm instead, for example. The story follows the team at Dead True, a paranormal channel staging fake goings on. When an encounter with “supernatural survivor Yoona leads them to Akishima Island,” the team must endure the horrors that await. Although the characters from the first game are not present, we do see the return of Dr. Alan J. Hill, voiced by Peter Stormare. Alongside him, Tanner Moore ( Cobra Kai ),  Janina Gavankar ( Alan Wake 2 ), and Sarah Catherine Hook ( The White Lotus ) will be joining the cast. Until Dawn 2 is scheduled to release on January 28, 2027, exclusively for the PlayStation 5. Pre-orders will be live from September 10, according to Sony.
