This coming Friday, horror fans have a clear date with two releases that bet on discomfort, constant tension, and an oppressive atmosphere. We’re not talking about easy scares or non-stop action, but rather proposals that seek to put the player on edge through design, rhythm, and a permanent sense of danger.

On one hand, Pathologic 3 arrives, a direct continuation of a saga known for its crudeness. The city is once again a hostile, sick, and changing environment, where every choice affects the development of the game. Time management, resource management, and relationships with other characters are just as important as surviving another day, maintaining that oppressive tone that has always defined the series.

Pathologic 3 and Ebola Village bet on a different kind of horror than usual on Xbox

Alongside it, Ebola Village premieres, a first-person horror proposal clearly inspired by classic survival horror. Slow exploration, closed scenarios, limited inventory, and a marked atmosphere define a game that prioritizes constant tension over fast-paced action.

Both releases coincide on one thing: they don’t try to please everyone, but rather offer intense and demanding experiences. If you enjoy games that make you uncomfortable, punish mistakes, and bet on dense atmospheres, this coming Friday is a date you shouldn’t miss.
