After being announced earlier this year, Vertigo Games has announced that The 7th Guest VR will be joining the Halloween release crowd with an October 19th launch. The game will be available for PC via Steam, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest 3.
“With The 7th Guest VR, we aim to push the boundaries of what is possible in virtual reality, just like the original game did with the CD-rom,” The 7th Guest VR director Paul van der Meer stated in the press release. “The story trailer shows the real achievements of volumetric capture at this level, giving players a taste of the intense atmosphere as they observe the characters exploring the strange happenings of the mansion, and the sinister reasons they’ve been brought there.”

Vacation by Matthew Costello; Thomas Dunne Books; 2011; 320 pgs; $24.99 Us Welcome to Paterville! Family getaway for all away from it all. In this "anti-zombie" tale from master storyteller Matt Costello, the future isn't very bright. In fact, his so-called "vacation" turns out to be anything but relaxing; thankfully, readers benefit plenty from his near-future hell. Costello has yet to pen a bad novel, from Wurm to Homecoming to Nowhere, and collaborations with F. Paul Wilson only bring out the other's strengths. After succeeding in videogame battlegrounds (Rage and 7th Guest fame), he returns to a...

Matthew Costello's newest novel Vacation is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which the food supply has been decimated by an ecological disaster, leaving survivors holed up in heavily fortified communities and living on synthetic foods while battling hordes of "Can Heads", cannibals whose lust for human meat makes them extraordinarily fast and strong. The protagonist, Jack Murphy is a cop who has been injured on the job and is now packed off with his wife and two children for vacation to the Paterville Family Camp, an isolated – supposedly safe – resort in the Adirondacks. The multi-talented Costello has written games (like Doom 3), television shows (for Syfy and The Disney Channel), and two dozen...
