Beyond The Evil, a psychological horror game developed by Brazilian studio BlackHawk Games and published by QUByte Interactive, will launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on October 29, 2026.
Previously released on PC via Steam, the game focuses on investigative gameplay, environmental puzzles, and a mystery shaped by players’ decisions. Rather than relying on combat, Beyond The Evil challenges players to examine evidence, solve complex puzzles, and uncover the truth behind a disturbing case.
Investigate a Mysterious Pennsylvania Estate
Set in 2019, Beyond The Evil follows private investigator Gary Nephew after he receives a panicked emergency call from an isolated property in Pennsylvania. When he arrives, he discovers a tragic crime scene connected to secret laboratory experiments and a dangerous contagion.
With no weapons at his disposal, Gary must depend on his observational skills and deductive reasoning to investigate the property. He also works with his investigative partner, Lukas Smith, as they attempt to piece together the events surrounding the disappearance of the Juniper family.
Players will explore detailed 3D environments, collect evidence, inspect everyday objects, and solve puzzles to progress through the investigation. These tasks include cracking combination locks, locating keys, deciphering codes, and reconstructing the events that led to the tragedy.
Key Features of Beyond The Evil
Beyond The Evil emphasizes investigation and puzzle-solving over traditional survival horror combat. Players can pick up, rotate, and closely examine hundreds of objects, documents, and other pieces of evidence to uncover information hidden throughout the estate.
The game also features an atmospheric presentation built around unsettling environments, sound design, and a gradual reveal of the mystery. Instead of managing an inventory or fighting enemies, players must rely on logic and careful observation to advance.
Choices become particularly important near the end of the story. A pivotal decision determines which of two distinct conclusions players reach: a Good Ending or a Sad Ending. These alternative outcomes give players different resolutions to the investigation.
Beyond The Evil Console Release Date
QUByte Interactive and BlackHawk Games will release Beyond The Evil on October 29, 2026, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game is already available on PC through Steam.
The upcoming console release will give players another opportunity to experience the psychological thriller, which combines forensic investigation, environmental puzzles, and a choice-driven narrative without traditional combat encounters. With its eerie atmosphere, disturbing mystery, and unsettling investigation, Beyond The Evil arrives just in time for Halloween, offering horror fans a psychological thriller to experience during the spooky season.

. ## Defend Shady Hill From a Zombie Invasion *Dead Party* takes place in Shady Hill, a seemingly peaceful town where a Halloween night takes a disastrous turn after UFOs appear overhead. The strange event triggers a zombie outbreak, leaving four unlikely heroes to defend the neighborhood against the undead invasion. The game focuses on cooperative survival rather than simply eliminating enemies. Players must search their surroundings for resources, break objects to gather materials, construct barricades, and set traps to slow incoming waves. Different zombie types and map layouts will require teams to adapt their defenses as the invasion progresses. Players must coordinate their actions and make effective use of the resources available if they hope to survive. Music also plays a central role in combat. Characters can use guitars and music-based abilities to push back the undead, giving the game a rock-and-roll twist on the familiar zombie survival formula. ## Four Game Modes Offer Different Survival Challenges *Dead Party* features four distinct game modes, each presenting a different approach to defending against the zombie invasion. - **Stage Equipment:** Use stage equipment and music-powered abilities to hold back the undead. - **Antenna:** Activate generators and unleash radio waves to disrupt the invading forces. - **Skull Cannon:** Collect zombie skulls and use them to destroy UFOs. - **Horde:** Forget about escaping and see how long your team can survive against increasingly dangerous zombie waves. Players can also experience the game's Story Mode, which follows four unique characters. Each hero has individual abilities, strengths, weaknesses, equipment, and a personal storyline, giving players different approaches to the game's challenges. ## Online and Local Co-Op Support Designed around four-player cooperation, *Dead Party* supports both online and local co-op. Friends can coordinate defensive strategies, collect resources, and build barricades together as they attempt to withstand the invasion. The combination of environmental interactions, traps, different enemy types, and music-based combat is intended to keep each encounter unpredictable. Teams will need to balance preparation with quick decisions when their defenses begin to fail. With its Halloween-themed setting and cooperative gameplay, *Dead Party* is aiming to offer a different take on zombie survival when it arrives later this month. The game launches on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 29, 2026, with console releases expected in the weeks following its debut.
