Massacre at the Mirage, a new first-person horror game from developer Tainted Pact, is set to release on Steam on October 28, 2024. Players need not wait until that date to start experiencing Massacre at the Mirage's thrills, though, as both a demo of the game and a free prologue are available now.
Announced in April 2024, Massacre at the Mirage sends players to The Mirage, a movie theater in the "picturesque town" of Crimson Ridge. This is no average trip to the cinema, though, as fans of psychological horror will soon find themselves passing through the theater's dark corridors and fighting to survive against a killer disguised as a clown. This fight for survival is presented from multiple perspectives, with players taking control of the theater's staff and its patrons.
New Steam Horror Game Has 'Overwhelmingly Positive' Reviews
A brand-new horror game on Steam debuts to 'Overwhelmingly Positive' reviews, indicating general acclaim among its community.
Players who want to take this terrifying trip to the movies will be able to do so when Massacre at the Mirage launches for PC (via Steam) on October 28. While the game's release price has yet to be revealed, the Steam description indicates that the experience will cost "less than the price of a movie ticket." It is also unconfirmed if the title will be Steam Deck verified. Developer Tainted Pact's last two games, Terror at Oakheart and Suffer the Night, are "playable" on Steam Deck, though, and it is reasonable to expect that Massacre at the Mirage will follow suit.
Massacre at the Mirage Demo Available Now
For those players who want to try Massacre at the Mirage before its release on October 28, there is currently a demo available on Steam. The Massacre at the Mirage demo was released as part of the ongoing Steam Next Fest, which is set to conclude on October 21 at 10am PDT. Horror video game fans who are interested in trying the demo should thus download it without delay, as it may not be available for very long.
Additionally, there is a free prologue (Manny's Murderous Movie Theater) that gives players yet another opportunity to become familiar with the world of Massacre at the Mirage prior to its release. In the prologue, fans of indie horror take control of a snack bar attendant at The Mirage, and it is their job to serve the customers that approach the counter. Notably, it is indicated that this snack bar simulator will be packaged alongside the game's story mode for its full release, though players can find Manny's Murderous Movie Theater on Steam now if they do not want to wait for October 28 to arrive.
