The Indie Horror Showcase event is returning on October 24.

The upcoming streaming event promises “loads of cool new indie horror” from both DreadXP and plenty of third-party developers. As a matter of fact, submissions are open to anyone, just in case you’ve been tooling around with something particularly frightening. There were some noteworthy games discussed during last year’s event. These included the now-iconic Slay the Princess and the supernatural phone operator sim Home Safety Hotline. Other standouts from last year included Pneumata and Janet DeMornay is a Slumlord (and a witch). DreadXP says that last year’s showcase featured more than 60 trailers and announcements. This year’s event should fall somewhere in that range. The publisher hasn’t given any indication as to which titles to be on the lookout for this year, but submissions are still open until September 16. It has promised announcements and trailers from “developers of all sizes in the indie horror scene.” DreadXP has yet to announce a premiere time for the stream. One game that’ll likely get an update is Paranormal Activity: Found Footage. This title leverages the “found footage” format from many horror movies and brings it to gaming. DreadXP is behind the spooky adaptation and... Continue reading at 'Engadget'
