Indie horror publisher DreadXP and developer PHL Games, in partnership with AMC Global Media, today announced that Creepshow, the officially licensed video game adaptation of Shudder’s acclaimed horror anthology series produced by Evoke Entertainment, will launch on PC via Steam in August. The interactive homage to Shudder’s hit show brings the episodic horror series into video game form for the very first time.

Inspired by the hit television series executive produced by horror legend Greg Nicotero, the game brings the franchise’s signature blend of wicked scares, twisted humor, and comic-book style dread into a new medium. Developed by PHL with creative direction from Brian Clarke (The Mortuary Assistant), Creepshow embraces the spirit of the beloved anthology franchise through self-contained tales of terror, delivering dramatic gameplay and shocking surprises.

From psychological horror to the blackest of humor, players will step into stories where death is often the least of their worries. Follow Danny and his friends as the search for the truth of what happened to Danny’s father quickly turns dark as they uncover sinister secrets. Fate brings Danny to The Reader, a mysterious fortune-teller, who has a taste for treacherous tales.

“Getting to publish the iconic Creepshow brand as a game has been a creative dream we don’t want to wake up from, and we think it’s going to pull a whole new audience into the Creep’s tent,” said Patrick Ewald, Founder and CEO of DreadXP. “The teams at AMC, PHL, and DreadXP have put a lot of work in to create something that genuinely feels like you are living (or dying) inside a Creepshow episode, and we can’t wait for fans, old and new, to play it.
