In the late 80's, Geoff Crammond with publishing rights by MicroStyle/MicroPlay released the incredible game of ' Stunt Car Racer ' for a multitude of platforms including the Amiga. It involved you the player racing around a 3D track in a first person view using a vehicle which had boost capabilities. It was also one of the greatest racing games ever released and what made it so great was the fact that all of the tracks were like rollercoasters, with such dangerous driving and incredible heights involved it would've killed anyone if it was real life. But this month as a bit of a shock, a member by the name of Twinbee has set out a challenge with a high £400 payment to anyone that can tweak the original code to run at 50/60fps!

The Works of Mercy - Be a Killer in this gory Kickstarter success

Whenever a game is announced by PlayWay, especially as a Kickstarter, it always ends up as a success, this was true for Hard West, The Way and now with 4 days to go, it is the same for ' The Works of Mercy '. Now putting aside the more softly approach with those games, the developer Pentacle supported by the publishers PlayWay, has gone all out with this one, as it is a psychological thriller inspired by the classics of the genre: Roman Polanski’s “Repulsion,” “The Tenant” and Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.” Which means yes you guessed it, BLOODY HORROR! Not just any horror either as the games plot revolves around mysterious killings committed on seemingly random victims. Only this time it is the player who becomes the murderer!

When I first played The Last Door Season 1 via GOG, I was taken back by just how good the game was, not only did it have that Sierra style graphics and point and click interface, but the story and horror just blew me away. It is not often that a game pulls me in that much and gives me the creeps while doing so but The Last Door certainly did just that. On the relevance to the game, both Phoenix Online Publishing and The Game Kitchen have announced that the hit indie point-and-click horror adventure The Last Door Season 2 Collector’s Edition will be releasing on March 29, 2016 for PC, Mac, and Linux.
