Not Word With Goods

Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer Tainted Pact Games will release a PlayStation 5 version of retro-inspired survival horror game Flesh Made Fear on June 25, the companies announced.

Flesh Made Fear first launched for PC via Steam on October 31, 2025.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

From the creators of indie horror hits Massacre at the Mirage, Suffer the Night, and Terror at Oakheart, comes Flesh Made Fear, the ultimate survival horror experience by Tainted Pact Games. Descend into a world of horrifying experiments and occult rituals where every step plunges you deeper into madness. Featuring the survival mechanics that define the genre, reimagined with heart-stopping innovations, this game invites you to confront your fears like never before. Will you face the nightmare? Or will the nightmare consume you?

Classic Horror, Reimagined

Flesh Made Fear pays homage to the PSX-era survival horror that defined a generation. Drawing inspiration from the original Resident Evil trilogy, it masterfully blends intricate puzzles, heart-pounding combat, and a dread-filled atmosphere. But this isn’t just a nostalgic throwback—it’s a bold evolution. Modernized controls, immersive cinematics, and a gripping story will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last moment. Take on the role of an elite operative in the Reaper Intervention Platoon (R.I.P.), a covert task force deployed to neutralize Victor “The Dripper” Ripper—a brilliant but deranged former CIA agent. His sinister experiments have turned a desolate backwater town into a nightmare filled with grotesque monsters and mind-controlled thralls. Your mission is clear: eliminate Ripper, unravel his chilling secrets, and survive the horrors lurking in his mansion-turned-laboratory. Are you ready to step into the darkness?

I got 3 more of the PalVerse Pale Niji figures. I got Millie's for my birthday, and used a gift card for Enna's and Reimu's.

Here's all 5 of the ones I have together:

Publisher Ubisoft and developer Ubisoft Quebec will release the final update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on June 16, the companies announced. It will add the new story quest “Black Tides,” end-game feature “Domains,” and more.

Here are the details.

■ New Free Story Quest: Black Tides

A new threat washes ashore! Two elite-level Templars known as “Black Cross” are called to Japan to hunt Naoe and Yasuke for all the trouble they have caused. But as is often the case with the Templar Order, those Black Cross may have additional goals of their own: It’s up to our two protagonists to prevent them from acquiring whatever they seek – and manage to stay alive… Conditions for Black Tides:

Complete Naoe & Yasuke’s main story.

Complete “A Critical Encounter” post-launch quest.

Complete “A Puzzlement” post-launch quest.

■ New Crossover Projects: Riptides and Undertow

We’re releasing two new crossover Projects available in the Animus HUB called Riptides and Undertow, in which you can unlock new themed outfits, weapons, trinkets and more! To activate the new Projects, complete Anomalies and progress through the rewards like previously released ones. These include rewards for both Shadows and Black Flag Resynced and can be progressed by completing Anomalies from both games. Note: Unfortunately, these will not be available on Nintendo Switch 2 as it contains crossover content with Black Flag Resynced, which will not be releasing for Nintendo.

■ New End-Game Feature: Domains

A brand-new Animus activity that will put your RPG build crafting skills to the test as you tackle 5 new gameplay simulations across 10 challenge levels. MOD, an Assassin hacker, has created a new type of simulation called “Domains.” These trials are designed to help the Dark Animus users sharpen their combat and survival skills. Those who can rise to the challenge can earn dozens of new and remixed outfits, weapons, trinkets and engravings. The higher the difficulty, the more gameplay modifiers will be applied. The goal is to push you out of your comfort zone and make you rethink your loadouts. A strategy that works in one Domain may not in the next. “Time to get those Mythic and Artifact upgrades you’ve been putting off!” MOD has an exclusive shop and in-game currency you can use to purchase new end-game gear sets, new powerful engravings, and a progression tree to support the Domain’s increasing challenges. As you push through higher difficulties, MOD will reward you with weapons and armors that longtime Animus users may recognize. And you will need it all if you want to beat the hardest challenge levels (and get the secret rewards along the way!) Note: None of these items will ever be in the store or the exchange. These are Domain-exclusive, for bragging rights only!

■ New Animus Rift: Horizon

Another Rift has opened to reveal trouble stirring in its depths. The Eagle has more information to share about the Guide. Note: You must complete the two previous Animus Rifts to access the New one: Horizon.

■ Additional Highlights

Quality of Life HUB Improvements

Change to the access to Animus HUB features in the main menu. We’ve changed the access to the HUB features in the main menu to harmonize with how they are accessed from gameplay. The System menu will now only be accessible through the Shadows’ Memory page.

About

BrokenLore: DON’T LIE is a first-person psychological horror game. Junko lives trapped inside her small apartment, drifting between loneliness and madness as her fragile reality unravels.

Despite being the part of narrative web, the game stands on its own and it invites old fans and newcomers to confront a new self-contained story full of deceit, paranoia and fear.

Immersive First-Person Psychological Horror – Enter the fragile world of Junko, a young woman attempting to reconnect with two patients in a rehabilitation center. A story driven descent into paranoia which will only lead to further delusions.
