Indie horror publisher DreadXP and developer PHL Games, in partnership with AMC Global Media, today announced that Creepshow, the officially licensed video game adaptation of Shudder’s acclaimed horror anthology series, will launch on PC via Steam this August. The interactive homage to the hit show brings the episodic horror series into video game form for the very first time.
Inspired by the hit television series executive produced by horror legend Greg Nicotero, the game brings the franchise’s signature blend of wicked scares, twisted humor, and comic-book style dread into a new medium. Developed by PHL with creative direction from Brian Clarke (The Mortuary Assistant), Creepshow embraces the spirit of the beloved anthology franchise through self-contained tales of terror, delivering dramatic gameplay and shocking surprises.
From psychological horror to the blackest of humor, players will step into stories where death is often the least of their worries. Follow Danny and his friends as the search for the truth of what happened to Danny’s father quickly turns dark as they uncover sinister secrets. Fate brings Danny to The Reader, a mysterious fortune-teller, who has a taste for treacherous tales.
Features:
- Multiple playable horror stories: Experience a terrifying anthology of standalone nightmares.
- Authentic Creepshow tone: Equal parts frightening, fun, and devilishly twisted.
- Pulp horror comes to life: Inspired by the visual style and spirit of the franchise.
With varied gameplay and its devotion to the franchise’s gleefully gruesome identity, Creepshow offers longtime fans and newcomers alike a fresh way to experience one of the most iconic names in horror.
