PlayStation fans have been the best we've ever had, giving us loads of support and kind words about our previous two games, Home and Alone With You. That's why we're incredibly stoked to announce our third title for the PS4 — a dark, thrilling return to the horror genre called Worse Than Death!

Worse Than Death is a scary, emotional thriller about a high school reunion that goes horribly wrong. You play Holly, a young woman from a small town in the middle of nowhere. She's been dragged back to her home for a weekend she's dreading — and with good reason! Her best friend Flynn has been inconsolable since his fiancée died in an accident, and it seems everyone in town has something to hide — including Holly herself.

What follows is the worst night Holly could imagine, as she runs for her life, hides in the shadows, and uses her wits to solve the ever-deepening mystery of her once-peaceful home.

Worse Than Death feels like something right out of the pages of Tales from the Crypt — it's full of dark secrets, dread and dramatic surprises. And it's meant to look like a horror comic too; all of the game's high-res art was drawn by hand on an iPad Pro, so the character portraits, cutscenes and puzzles come to life in dark, vibrant strokes.


In keeping with the game's hands-on aesthetic, we teamed up with Canadian rock-and-roll band The Secrets to include two of their songs in the game (one of which you can hear in the trailer above). The energy they bring to their music fit the game perfectly, bringing out the intensity of the game's dark, unfolding drama.

I'm not fond of these 2d use-the-environment-to-hide survival horrors to be honest, like Lone Survivor and that other one with the robots that I forget the name of, but still, this looks pretty good. Will keep an eye on it.

Looks a bit zoomed it, kept waiting for the camera to adjust itself. Otherwise it looks cool!
