@lostincult.co.uk Presents: The Horror Game Awards 2025 LIVE! This December 13th 2025, Kensington Conference and Events Centre in London will host the 4th Annual @horrorgameawards.bsky.social show. Celebrate the best of horror for the first time in-person and online.

And if you're a Prime member, don't forgot the first one is currently free to claim!

So far, this game has absolutely lived up to my expectations, and then some. There's a reason why the first game is partly responsible for @horrorgamecentral.bsky.social and I creating @horrorgameawards.bsky.social This franchise is absolutely one of the titans of modern survival horror.
