Failbetter’s gothic dating sim Mask Of The Rose delayed to June
There’ll be all kinds of horrors present in Fallen London’s spin-off, Mask Of The Rose: green-tentacled creatures, underground Londoners, and most frighteningly, love. Sometimes two or more of these horrors intersect, and by that I mean you can romance that tentacled man in this gothic, alternative-history dating sim. Spooky suitors will need to wait a while more, though, as Mask Of The Rose has been delayed to June 8th – previously slated for April.
Gothic grey goo platformer Angel’s Gear respects your time
I can’t remember if I’ve already banged on about what a terrible, unhelpful term “metroidvania” is, so let’s skip past to say that Angel’s Gear reminds me of the one Castlevania game I’ve ever played.
It’s partly the tone: a compelling blend of gothic and biomechanical horror, with a 90s game boy goriness that’s cartoony enough to feel colourful rather than repulsive. “Camp” isn’t the right word, but a hint of melodrama gives the story severity without self-seriousness. I mean, within the first minute of the game, your soldier goes from a terrified Normandy-style amphibious assault on a fortified metal church to seeing their war made irrelevant when the moon explodes. The whole thing is kind of metal, to be honest.

Gothic 1 Remake’s new trailer captures the atmosphere of the original
Gothic was one of those PC games I dismissed as being for nerds. Me? I was too busy making Half-Life levels and reading Championship Manager fanfic to be interested in some game about mages in a hole.
I’ve since realised the errors of my ways, and I quite fancy the chance to correct my previous wrongs via the Gothic 1 remake. There’s a new trailer for it and its big modern hole below.
Gothic Remake trailer takes you on a visit to the Old Mine
THQ Nordic has released a new trailer for Gothic Remake that takes you into the Old Mine, a place that would be terrible for a picnic.
In development with Alkimia Interactive, the team’s focus and ambition is to build high-quality remake of the RPG which is set to be released for PC and next-gen consoles.
In December 2019, THQ Nordic released a playable Gothic remake prototype asking for public opinion on a possible modern remake of the classic RPG. The playable teaser appeared in the Steam Library of everyone who owned a game from Piranha Bytes.
