OUT NOW - Indie Horror FLATHEAD Brings Dire Consequences to a "Simple" Game of Over or Under
In case you missed it, solo developer, oxblud, and horror game publisher DreadXP are thrilled to announce that FLATHEAD has launched today! FLATHEAD is a short, but replayable experience where players' whole existence hangs in the balance of a simple choice of over or under. Win and gain your freedom… lose and… well, don’t lose.
Serving as the first title of DreadXP’s new XP Ultra program, FLATHEAD is a concise glimpse into the world of silkbulb test, another upcoming horror game from developer oxblud. Throughout the single-sitting sessions of FLATHEAD, players will use various tools, tricks, and ultimately their luck to win enough points to buy their freedom, all while a sense of impending doom perpetually looms in the darkness.
This bite-sized horror adventure showcases the type of titles the DreadXP team is looking to work with for the XP Ultra program. Created to carry on the spirit of the Dread X Collections, XP Ultra aims to elevate smaller, shorter projects with publishing support not always available to games and developers at a smaller scale. XP Ultra publishing support includes the same quality of marketing, PR, QA, production support, etc. available to other DreadXP titles, but scaled appropriately to the size of the project.
“The team at DreadXP is excited by the opportunity to publish even more experimental titles at smaller scales, as it gives us a chance to create a wider, weirder, more diverse catalog of games for indie horror fans,” explained Hunter Bond, Co-Director at DreadXP, “FLATHEAD is just the beginning of more good strangeness to come.”
