I am not a horror game person. I played Resident Evil 4 and 2 because Leon Kennedy was there, and The Quarry when I was feeling particularly brave, but I've never played anything quite so disturbing that it made me grimace. That was until I sat down for an hour with Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival and saw a character's flesh get peeled off their body within the opening 15 minutes, wondering exactly how I'd ended up there.
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is immediately, unapologetically graphic. This may not come as a surprise if you're familiar with the source material, but this upcoming horror game from Saber Interactive is quick to make this fact apparent, opening on an explicit, masochistic sex scene, followed by a wander through a creepy series of maze-like corridors before getting to the aforementioned grisly flesh peeling. …Lighthearted stuff!
