The game Go Home Annie, an SCP adaptation, was initially released on PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG on December 3, 2024.

Season 2 of the romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This arrived on Netflix on October 23rd. All ten episodes are now available to stream, and each one is about 30 minutes long. The show, created by Erin Foster and based on her own relationship, stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as Joanne and Noah – a sex podcast host and a rabbi, respectively – who fall for each other despite their different backgrounds and interfering families. Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, and Jackie Tohn also star, and Leighton Meester and Seth Rogen join the cast this season.

While a few sci-fi shows become huge hits, many excellent ones never find a large audience. Sometimes a show is simply too innovative or complex for mainstream viewers. Other times, a show that takes its time to develop a story doesn’t gain enough immediate attention to succeed in today’s crowded TV market. These are the shows that often develop passionate fan bases after they’ve been canceled, leaving viewers to imagine what might have been. This highlights the risk inherent in the sci-fi genre – bold storytelling can easily be ignored, even though it might be truly brilliant, proving that great ideas don’t always get the recognition they deserve.

To truly make the Paranormal Activity franchise more frightening, the best approach would be to immerse audiences directly into the scary experiences, and video games are ideal for that. However, there have only been a few game adaptations: a mobile game called Paranormal Activity: Sanctuary released in 2011, and a VR title, Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul, from 2017. Now, nine years later, Darkstone Digital, the team behind The Mortuary Assistant, is returning to the franchise with Paranormal Activity: Threshold, which looks genuinely terrifying.

AdHoc Studio’s debut game, Dispatch, builds on the storytelling strengths of games like those from Telltale, but with a fresh approach to gameplay. Instead of directly controlling a character and exploring environments, you manage a team of superheroes and guide them through missions. This might sound potentially tedious, but it actually creates a surprisingly engaging and clever experience. It seamlessly blends the story and characters into gameplay that’s easy to pick up but difficult to stop playing. Dispatch delivers what Telltale games were always missing and demonstrates a promising future for the developer.
