Table Inspired by 2022’s ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ Coming to ‘Pinball M’ on June 6 [Trailer]
Zen Studios’ horror-themed pinball game Pinball M will be adding another property to its lineup of tables, this time with a table inspired by David Blue Garcia‘s 2022 film Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Players will be able to carve up their victims on June 6, with what’s being referred to as “one of the most brutal pinball tables ever created.”
Players will take on the role of Leatherface (in pinball form, obviously), as you terrorize the new arrivals who have dared to come into your town. Just like in the film, you can rev the chainsaw and have a bloodbath on the bus, or sneak up on your unsuspecting victims by shooting the correct targets. Maim and massacre all survivors in order to reach Pinball M‘s Wizard Mode.
“The brutal and unnerving legacy of Leatherface comes to life once again in pinball form,” said Mel Kirk, COO of Zen Studios. “Designer Zoltan Vari did not hold back at all. Players can expect a brutal, bloody, and maniacal table worthy of joining Pinball M.”
Pinball M already has quite the lineup of tables inspired by Universal horror properties. In addition to crossovers with Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight, 3D Realms’ Duke Nukem and Nightdive’s System Shock remake, players can also dive into tables inspired by John Carpenter’s The Thing and Child’s Play.
Of course, if you want the real thing, you can check out Spooky Pinball LLC‘s officially-licensed Texas Chainsaw Massacre machine.
Pinball M is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
