Are you ready to come get some? The groovy classic Evil Dead is said to become the ultimate multiplayer experience as you play as Ash Williams, or one his many partners, in this humorous but terrifying game. The game pays tribute to the quirkiness of the movie and television series, both starring Bruce Campbell, as well as the creepy undead.  The question is will you be able to play as a force of good or evil?

Developer Big Bad Wolf created a macabre role-playing game to one of fantasy’s most alluring characters—the vampire.  There are three main characters in the role-playing game (RPG), but every choice you make could have detrimental consequences.  Players explore the world of bloodthirsty vampires in Boston Camarilla, but you must remember to respect the Masquerade, a vampire law that prohibits humans from knowing your undead existence.
