#splatterhouse

I feel like Rick Taylor in the Dark World would wear a hockey mask, as a nod to the original Splatterhouse trilogy and slasher movie characters like Jason Voorhees (with a bit of Casey Jones from TMNT vibes mixed in for good measure)

Splatterworld: Rick to Kyoufu no Daiou

Splatterworld: Rick to Kyoufu no Daiou (“Rick vs. The King of Terror”) is an interesting oddity. The trend of taking action games and turning them into RPGs was not a new one, but would definitely have been a first for the Splatterhouse series, if it had actually been released. It was scheduled to be released on March 19th, 1993. Instead, despite being nearly one hundred percent complete, it was quietly dropped from Namco’s 1993 release schedule. For years, few outside of Japan knew that it even existed at some point. But by the early 2020s, information about it began trickling out to the world.
