Upcoming Games To Look Forward To This April 2022!

Although April appears to have a smaller game lineup compared to the prior months of February and March – a cursory glance at the month’s offerings reveals there are many indie and triple-A titles that might interest you. There is a blend of adventure, RPG, shooting, and action elements into an exciting mix. Here are our line ups of games we can’t wait to play in April 2022!

Terrorbane

Despite the title suggesting fears and terror, Terrorbane instead is actually a comedic approach to a gaming RPG, breaking the fourth wall along the way. BitNine Studio and publisher WhisperGames are inviting you to play their broken game on April 1st (hopefully it’s not an April fools joke), glitching its way on Nintendo Switch and PC.

Break the Simulation in Deadburg

Depending on how players progress in Whiskerburg, the Terrorbane will descend to Deadburg, a space where unused programs end up. Inspired by the glitchy levels in Pokémon Red and Blue, plenty of bugs plague Deadburg and the citizens roaming the town.

Bring it Back to Windows 1995 in Error 101

Inspired by the Windows 1995 and 98 software, BitNine Studio created Error 101, a level that tasks players with becoming a developer and creating their own game. Utilize the different programs in the menu to unlock all three assets needed to create a game. Be careful not to use the sister’s card to buy the assets. She’s trying to make it to the next paycheck.

Features List:

• Experience a meta-narrative adventure where you shape the story

• Meet The Developer: a fourth-wall-breaking character that acts as both a narrator and an antagonist within the game.

• Discover hilarious bugs and glitches, which can be seen in the bug list menu

• Relive iconic (bug-filled) moments in video game history

• Multiple playthroughs invite you to discover as many bugs as possible and find every branching path.

Forgive Me Father

My horror radar is tingling as the upcoming first-person shooter by developer Byte Barrel and publisher 1C Entertainment, designed as inspired Comic book style world by the novels of H.P. Lovecraft. Forgive me father will be shooting its way to the April 7th release on PC, leaving Early Access and launching into its full version. Increasing the number of levels by more than 50%, introducing a new playable character, and much more.

In a Lovecraft-inspired world full of secret and hard-to-reach areas, you will embark on a journey to explore this world gone mad in search of answers and relief. You will upgrade your character and weapons with items you find or purchase, using your many active skills and the creeping madness itself to defeat hordes of sanity-defying monstrosities.

Key Features:

• Feeling of a classic FPS from the 90s – Timelapse animations, opponents, and elements of 2D in a 3D environment; first aid kits and life points, non-reloading weapons, powerups during dynamic combat with numerous opponents.
• Custom combat experience – With scripture in one hand and weapons powered by an unknown substance in the other, the player will face the challenge of maintaining their humanity. It is up to the player to decide how their equipment evolves, and to find ways of defeating hordes of unpredictable opponents.
• Dynamic level of madness – Directly influencing not only the audio-visual experience but gameplay itself, the effect varying depending on the current level of madness.
• Presented in a dark comic book style – Hand-drawn graphics designed to maintain a distinctive comic book look, where any screenshot from the game could be a part of a new comic book.
• Mood straight from Lovecraft’s dark novels – All throughout the game, the player will feel the atmosphere of dread and horror that the works of HP Lovecraft are renowned for. Surrounded by the occult and forces of eternal evil, experience the feelings of hopelessness, madness, and confusion, and the burning need to find answers and bring back some semblance of reason and sanity to the world.
• Many atmospheric levels and varied bestiary – A diverse world entirely made by hand, full of interesting enemies ranging from possessed inhabitants to monsters straight out of your worst nightmares.
• Two heroes to choose from – Each with their own, unique development tree. Experience the story from the perspective of either a priest or a journalist.
• Endless Mode – Endure the unending onslaught of wave after wave of monsters. How long can you survive? Defeat bosses during the main story to open more arenas!
