Stardew-like meets murder mystery Grave Seasons has some supernatural secrets still to come
Last month Rachel made us aware of a life sim called Grave Seasons, a kind of mash up of perennial favourite Stardew Valley and, er, the half-season serial killer arc of a police procedural TV show. Naturally this turned my head, like Tarantino walking past a ladies shoe store, and I emailed the developers Perfect Garbage to find out a bit more. They describe the game as “fun, campy and spooky” and hint at yet more secrets to be revealed. Appropriate for a game where, every time you start a new run, one of the townsfolk starts killing everyone else.

Haunting last texts singer, 21, and two friends sent before bodies were found in a shallow grave with throats slit
THE haunting final texts from a 21-year-old singer and her two friends before their alleged brutal murder have been revealed.
Singer Nayeli Tapia, 21, Yuliana Macias, 21, and Denisse Reyna, 19, were found in a shallow grave with slit throats in Ecuador on April 7.
The three young women initially went missing on April 4.
They were reportedly killed and left in the shallow grave on April 5, according to local media outlets.
Then, on April 7, fishermen contacted police to report a foul odor along the Esmeraldas River near Quininde.
Police said there was evidence showing that the women had been tortured.
According to Ecuadorean news outlet Vistazo, Tapia was a mother to a four-year-old daughter.
Tapia texted her sister at 11.10 pm on April 4 and included her location, the outlet reported.
“I’m just sending you just in case,” the final message read.
Tapia’s location was near where the three women were later found dead.
In addition, Vistazo also revealed a final text from Reyna, a student.
“I feel that something is going to happen and if something happens to me, remember that I love you very much,” the message to her friend read.
The women lived less than 50 miles from where their bodies were found.
“They were young, had beach clothes, bathing suits, light clothing, shorts,” Diego Velastegui with the Quininde Police told local media.
Police also found a cell phone by the grave, which they’re hoping will aid in the investigation.
There has been a state of emergency in Esmeraldas province – where the women were believed to have been killed and buried – since March 3.
The state of emergency was enacted because of crime and violence in the area as rival drug trafficking gangs continue to fight.

Sons of the Forest grave – how to get the shotgun
The Sons of the Forest grave is a site that you will discover early on in your story, and is where you’ll find the powerful Sons of the Forest shotgun buried. Just moments into the sandbox game, you uncover your GPS tracker, which itself will trigger your first story task: Find Team B. Three members of your team will then be indicated on your GPS tracker by a purple marker – one of which is this gravesite.
The Sons of the Forest purple marker in question appears on the north-west corner of the map, on land (the next nearest marker is in the ocean). Head there, and your GPS tracker – which operates as your Sons of the Forest map – will start to beep. In fact, it gets quite distracting, so once you know where you’re going you may want to put your map down using the ‘M’ button. It’s also worth mentioning that you’ll need to have found the Sons of the Forest shovel first. Here’s everything you need to know before reaching the purple marker grave and digging up that Sons of the Forest shotgun.

Titanic Mass Grave Site To Be Pillaged For NFTs
Artifact Labs will then go about “immutably” preserving “5,500 recovered physical artifacts from the Titanic with its NFT standard for historical assets on the blockchain.” RMST controversially has sole salvaging rights to the wreck so fresh relics from future dives will be minted as “ARTIFACTs.” Jessica Sanders, RMST president, said: “We remain dedicated to sharing the legacy of the Titanic, her passengers and crew, with people around the world. As the salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck site, we are determined to ensure that the Ship’s artifacts are preserved in perpetuity and accessible to future generations. We believe that moving into the digital space allows us to reach a broader audience with quality programming that educates and inspires. We are excited to have found the expertise and partners to help us reach those goals.” “While RMST goes to great pains to paint it in a sympathetic light, the actions of the company show that the world’s most famous shipwreck is just there to be milked — hence NFTs as another revenue stream,” adds The Register.

Mystery as 38 skeletons are found in chilling 7,000-year-old mass grave – and all but one had been DECAPITATED
MYSTERY surrounds the discovery of a 7,000-year-old mass grave which contains 38 skeletons – and only one had not been decapitated.
The burial site was discovered by archaeologists at Vrable-Velke Lehemby in Slovakia, one of the largest settlements of the European Neolithic era.

Preliminary studies suggest the heads were deliberately removed after death, with only one skeleton, a child under the age of 6, had its skull intact, a study has indicated.
Archaeologists are now trying to work out why the heads were so methodically removed with theories saying it could have been meant as a warning, a funeral ritual or as a way to honour the dead.
Katharina Fuchs, an anthropologist at Kiel University, Germany, who worked on the did said the headless bodies set themselves apart from traditional burials found in the same region.
DECAPITATIONS CARRIED OUT INTENTIONALLY
Initial examinations of the remains suggest the decapitations were carried out intentionally, according to Fuchs.
She said that on the bodies that had been preserved well enough to be able to see the neck bones, the first vertebra, directly under the skull, was still intact.
This would suggest the head had been cut off using very sharp tools, rather than severed during combat.
Katharina told Business Insider: “When you have a violent decapitation, like in the medieval ages with a sword or with an axe, you would see cut marks and also crushed vertebra in the regions of the neck.”
However, Martin Furholt, a professor of prehistory and social archaeology at Kiel University and the project leader, said it was unclear if the heads had been removed before or after death.
Research has detailed reports of Neolithic people decapitating bodies after their death and taking the head with them.
Prof Furholt told the news outlet: “People often kept those heads in their houses, or deposited them elsewhere.”
HEADS TAKEN AS TROPHIES
Fuchs added that it was perfectly feasible that these heads had been removed as a violent act of war or deterrence, with the heads being taken as trophies.
Two other notable mass graves, at Talheim and Herxheim, have been found in the area.
At Talheim, Germany, the remains of 34 men, women and children were discovered and it is believed they were massacred by a neighbouring village and left to rot.
While at Herxheim, also in Germany, some 450 individuals were found in a ditch, the bodies had been completely dismembered with cut marks on the bones and skulls.
This would indicate flesh was cut from the bones before the bodies were thrown in the pit.
A study in 2009 suggested this could be evidence of ritual cannibalism, although this hypothesis has been rejected by other academics who see this site as a big necropolis.
Furholt said Neolithic people may have viewed the bodies as having magical powers and their bodies helped to reinforce the strength of the palisades.
Vrable-Velke Lehemby consisted of three settlements which were occupied between BC 5,250 and BC 4,950.
Earlier excavations of the site had uncovered other headless skeletons but these were spread out more sparsely and interspersed with more normal burials.
There may even be more bodies in the grave but Fuchs said they had to stop digging because they were restricted to just over five weeks of excavation.
Bones found at the edge of the grave indicate it continues on further than what has been discovered so far.
