Dead by Daylight Pinball, part of the Pinball FX Midnight / Pinball M horror collection from Zen Studios, is a licensed digital pinball table that immerses players in the asymmetrical horror world of Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight. Players choose to play as either The Trapper (the killer) or one of four Survivors, with gameplay dynamically shifting between hunting victims or evading capture while repairing generators to escape the Entity’s realm.
For years, the world has been swept up in the frenzy of artificial intelligence, with tech giants pouring billions into models that promised to revolutionize everything from healthcare to creative work. Yet beneath the hype, a darker narrative is emerging, one suggesting that the much-anticipated AI bubble burst was not an unfortunate market correction, but a meticulously engineered event designed to serve a singular purpose. That purpose being the restricting advanced AI capabilities exclusively to government and military hands. According to this theory, the explosive growth of consumer-facing AI was never intended to last. It was a temporary lure, a grand illusion crafted to extract maximum value from the public before slamming the door shut on widespread access.
Developed by Inky Dreams and published by Crunching Koalas, Kamikaze Lassplanes is a hybrid title that blends visual novel storytelling with classic shoot-’em-up (shmup) action. It’s a game that leans heavily into character-driven narrative while punctuating its story beats with arcade-style aerial combat.
Chucky’s Killer Pinball, a DLC table for Pinball FX Midnight on PS5, is a gleefully gruesome adaptation of the Child’s Play film franchise that leans heavily into the series’ early entries, especially the original run through Bride/Seed-era aesthetics, remixing them into an original narrative set inside the Good Guys factory where players fend off Chucky through a series of deadly “games” before confronting him in a climactic wizard mode.
Pinball FX Midnight's “The Thing” table DLC (by Zen Studios) stands out as one of the more atmospheric and mechanically rich horror-themed tables in modern pinball. From the moment play begins, the table establishes its identity through stark Antarctic visuals inspired by Outpost 31, using cold blues and icy whites contrasted by bursts of flame effects during high-intensity moments. The playfield is densely packed with thematic elements such as laboratory equipment, flamethrowers, and creature animations, all reinforcing the film’s sense of dread and isolation.
