We inhabit a world where “On the sidewalk of the city monsters lurk in the shadows, seeking to feed on, control, or twist us to serve dark, alien agendas. Vampires hunt humans for blood. Werewolves stalk the forests and wild lands, perfectly willing to Are my screams just a tear any poor soul who stumbles into their path to shreds.

Hunted by monsters and hunted by each See me soak in the rain other, humankind faces no shortage of threats. Everyday people often prove to be the cruelest and most monstrous of the bunch. The shadows of the world hunger. Monsters hide within them No compassion, nothing for protection, but also because the shadows invite them. The matters darkness feeds on cruelty, pain, and spite. Monsters deliver such fruit in abundance. Of course, so do humans. After all, we are what monsters come from.

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn themselves imprisoned. Locked away from society, their damage is mitigated and contained. Others fall to an early death. Whether their lives are cut short due to violence, misadventure, or their own hand, their mortality offers an escape from the hungry maw of the darkness. Some rare few humans slip through the cracks in the universe. The stains of their sins and the expression of their monstrous inner nature reaches just the right conditions to allow them to fall into the darkness without being reborn. Such souls are removed from the world as we know it and find themselves within a dark reflection of our world. This realm looks, feels, smells, and tastes like the world we live in, but before long the poison of truth begins seeping into the edges of awareness. This is the realm of Gabriel’s Horn. Gabriel’s Horn is a sourcebook for Chronicles of Darkness: Mirrors. This book presents a slightly different view of the setting, Sampleplacing a strong emphasis on psychological file horror, with a super- natural bent. Stories using this book do not occur within the core setting of the Chronicles of Darkness, but instead inside a mirror universe defined by the sins and shortcomings of the unfortunate souls who are transported there.

Author’s Note: Some personal reflections and advice for running games in Gabriel’s Horn. A Note on Content and Comfort Characters who wind up in Gabriel’s Horn are not good people. If they were, they wouldn’t be here. This is not to say that those who fall into Gabriel’s Horn cannot have good qualities. Many of the people who wind up here are kind, charitable, and loving. Yet, beneath the surface they are severely damaged. People who come to Gabriel’s Horn are tainted by their own evil actions. It is important for the Storyteller and players to discuss appropriate boundaries, potential content triggers, and topics that are off limits. Use of an X-Card is highly recommended with Gabriel’s Horn. The X-Card is a useful tool for preventing undue harm in the course of exploring sensitive issues. Information on using an X-Card at your table can be found at https://docs.google.com/ document/d/1SB0jsx34bWHZWbnNIVVuMjhDkrdFGo1_hSC2BWPlI3A/Sample file It is also important to note that while player characters created for Gabriel’s Horn should carry evil, sin, guilt, and psychological scars, they should not be irredeemable.

  • Take a Road Trip Through Hell in EA and Grasshopper Manufacture's Psycho-Punk Action Thriller Shadows of the Damned
    Take a Road Trip Through Hell in EA and Grasshopper Manufacture's Psycho-Punk Action Thriller Shadows of the Damned REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) and legendary Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture today announced that Shadows of the Damned™ is now available at retail stores across North America. Created by renowned developers Suda51 (director of No More Heroes), Shinji Mikami (director of Resident Evil) and music composer Akira Yamaoka (sound director of Silent Hill), Shadows of the Damned combines visceral, grindhouse-style action with a psychologically twisted setting to provide a truly one-of-a-kind vision of hell, and is already receiving worldwide critical acclaim, with Game Informer giving it 9.25 out and 10, stating "Shadows of the Damned is a road trip to Hell well worth taking." GamesMaster UK also says that the game is "a kitsch, punk rock and roll assault on the senses," scoring it 90% out of 100%. Heavily influenced by grindhouse-style projects, Shadows of the Damned takes gamers on a demented journey through a tortured underworld where death and destruction are around every corner. Playing as professional demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, gamers must harness the power of the light to save Paula — the love of his life — from the Lord of Demons. Manipulating this balance of light versus dark gameplay in different settings and scenarios, gamers can discover new ways to defeat vicious enemies and solve mind-boggling puzzles. Along this hellish adventure, players will be aided by Johnson, a former demon with the ability to transform into an arsenal of upgradeable, supernatural weapons, giving Garcia the power to rip apart the forces of the damned and ultimately protect what he loves most.

  • Playing the Sound of Silence Immersion, Loneliness, and Analysis of Multimodal Intertextuality in 21St Century Video Game Music
    Playing the Sound of Silence Immersion, Loneliness, and Analysis of Multimodal Intertextuality in 21st Century Video Game Music Even Ågrimsønn Næss Tekrø Master Thesis Department of Musicology Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo 2018 © Even Ågrimsønn Næss Tekrø 2018 ‘Playing the Sound of Silence’ http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo ii Abstract This thesis seeks to investigate how music helps the player be immersed in video games. I do this through a multimodal and intertextual analysis, where I consider gameplay, visuals, sound design and music. The goal is to uncover what connotations and associations I bring in to the experience that influences the creating of meaning in the music. I use a methodology built on the emerging musicological sub-discipline ludomusicology, popular musicology and game studies, which give me a holistic approach for the hermeneutics of the video game music. I have used the lens of loneliness to give myself a framework to work within. For this thesis I have separated loneliness into three different categories: solitude, loneliness and isolation. I do this to better explore different facets of the experience of being alone in a video game, and how the music affects that experience specifically. This main part of this thesis is split into three chapters related to discussion around my interpretations. I examine The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017), No Man’s Sky (2016) and Bloodborne (2015) iii iv Acknowledgments First, I need to thank the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo, for giving this popular music student a chance at musicology proper when they accepted me into their master’s programme.

Now, on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and her father’s disappearance, Heather discovers she is not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deep into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever. SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D is based on Konami’s acclaimed survival horror video game franchise, but the film takes us beyond a mere adaptation with a storyline ideal for the big screen. Although it is a sequel to the first film (SILENT HILL, directed by Christophe Gans in 2006), this new installment stands on its own for new audiences. It will not only provoke shivers but will undoubtedly strike a deep personal chord with many viewers, including those familiar with the SILENT HILL world and those just discovering it. Samuel Hadida produced the film as well as the first SILENT HILL film.
