This one isn’t strictly horror, but just look at the dude in the brutal and bad-ass looking “Kill You” helmet below, and tell me that this doesn’t look at home on Dread Central. He’s practically begging for bloodshed.
Ruiner is an upcoming cyberpunk action game from Polish developer Reikon about a bloodthirsty sociopath who decides to take the law into his own hands to rescue his kidnapped brother and topple a dystopian government. And how does he do this, you ask? In pure sociopath style by killing anything that gets in his way.
You’ll be able to experience Ruiner’s trail of death when the game hits Steam later this year.
From the Press Release:
RUINER is a brutal action shooter set in the year 2091 in the cyber metropolis Rengkok.
