EEK3 is the alternative showcase of small horror game creators that amalgamates every year like a shell of flies around the corpse of E3.
It's a lot of fun for people who enjoy ye olde PS1 aesthetics and foggy throwback horror. The 2024 showcase was supposed to happen in time for Halloween, the night when the spirits of old platformer mascots rise from their graves to gift polygons to small children.
But it was postponed due to technical problems. Only now has the 2-hour showcase of game trailers emerged, culminating in a new Haunted PS1 demo disc packed with upcoming games. "The curse," say the organisers, "is lifted." There are over 70 games shown off.
As you can imagine, it's quite a long show. But I heard you have lots of time on your hands. It's a whole new year. And if you need it, here's a full list of all the games on show.
There are more than a few stand-outs among the lo-fi horror. Prison Of Husks is a sword swinger set in a medieval castleland reminiscent of Lordran from the first Dark Souls.
