The Cabin Factory Review – A Quietly Terrifying Shift at the Edge of Sanity

-

There is something strangely comforting about routine. You wake up, clock in, and repeat the same process until it becomes second nature. But there is also something deeply unsettling about it when that routine begins to twist into something unfamiliar. When the work you thought you understood starts to turn against you. That is the quiet horror at the center of The Cabin Factory, a small but memorable game from International Cat Studios and published by Future Friends Games. Released near the end of 2024, it quickly drew attention for being both eerie and restrained. It does not rely on gore, noise, or chaos. Instead, it uses repetition and stillness to make you feel uneasy. You’re not fighting monsters or solving puzzles. You are simply doing your job. And somehow, that job becomes one of the most quietly terrifying experiences of the year. A strange day at work The idea behind The Cabin Factory is simple. You work inside a giant industrial facility that produces small wooden cabins....

Novel Review - The Horus Heresy: The Siege of Terra - The Solar War

It’s been quite the eventful year since my challenge of reading the entirety of the Horus Heresy saga began. While I’m still yet to be fully up to date with the galaxy-spanning story of rebellion, I have finally reached The Siege of Terra part of the story.  Now Horus and his band of renegades have found their way to Terra, I thought it was time that I gave yet another review that started way back when with Horus Rising.

When Event Horizon hit cinemas in 1997, it was dismissed by critics and largely ignored at the box office. But over time, the film grew into something much bigger than a forgotten sci-fi horror experiment. It became a cult classic, celebrated for its grim tone, unforgettable visuals, and the chilling suggestion that hell itself exists not in some mythical underworld, but in the black nothingness between stars. Now, nearly three decades later, IDW Publishing and writer Christian Ward are returning to that terrifying universe with Event Horizon: Dark Descent. Instead of retelling the story of the film, Ward and his creative team dig into the untold history of the ship itself. The result is a comic that feels both like a lost chapter of the movie and a fully realised piece of cosmic horror in its own right. The first issue of Dark Descent isn’t interested in easing you in gently. From the very beginning, there’s a sense of unease baked into every panel. The story focuses on the Event Hori...
