The “metroidvania” genre is a classification I’ve grown less fond of over the years, usually used to classify 2D action games that have a focus on exploration and backtracking.

One of these games was Blasphemous, a gorgeous pixel art game that borrowed as much from Dark Souls as it did Symphony of the Night. It was a great game that lost steam after a while due to it...

From the notorious play in Robert W. Chambers’ The King in Yellow all the way up to Sadako’s viral videotape, horror writers have been fascinated with cursed media since time immemorial. After all, the idea that a piece of art can be powerful enough to affect the real world is a compelling thought in and of itself, especially when you consider that this also applies to works of evil. That’s why it makes sense that there are so many scary movies about curses that spread through paintings, music and even...
