Horror Showcase Recap – July 23 – August 06

Hello, my friends! Welcome to a new Horror Showcase Recap where I curate a list of highlights from the latest Horror Showcase I have over on Twitter. The new one will be published tomorrow, keep an eye on Horror Games Community!

The Summer season is known for being quiet for video games and indie horror is no exception! People are out on vacations, they’re taking breaks, focusing on themselves, and hopefully having a good time overall. I’d have loved to go on vacation myself but things are a bit rough these days so maybe next year. This year I’m still trying to buy back the things I had back in my home country. As some of you know, I moved to a European Country and had to sell everything when I did. If you have the means to help and you like what I’m doing here, feel free to chip in to help me buy a bicycle by clicking here.

But hey, at least the company I’m working for is taking me to Gamescom this month. So that should be fun and exciting. If you’d like to meet and catch up there, just send me a DM on Twitter. I’d love to visit if you have a booth there.

BUT ANYWAY. That’s not why you’re here. You’re here for juicy new updates from horror game development, horror arts, horror music, and all things horror. So let’s not wait any further and let’s see what we have this week! (So I can finish writing this and return to Baldur’s Gate 3)

Let’s kick this week off with some musical goodness from Clement Panchout

Clement was so kind to offer me his music and I’ve been using his albums on my videos and streams. Definitely check his work out if you need a music composer for your game or if you’re simply looking for background music in your videos/streams.

Click here for the original tweet. There are 3 more!

They also shared a link to their Press Kit in the Horror Showcase thread.
