The Haunted PS1’s EEK3 event promises an E3 showcase from hellTo hell with games.
To hell with games.
Things might have quietened down after last week’s not-E3 barrage of streams, but that doesn’t mean we’re quite out of videogame hell. Tonight, the folks at retro horror communityHaunted PS1are delivering their own “EEK3” showcase - lining up trailers for over 40 low-fidelity indie spook ‘em ups, along with a dimly-lit digital convention centre to get lost in.
Following the expensive marketing barrage we’ve experienced over the past few weeks, tonight’s EEK3 showcase is promising an altogether more “grimey” event.

Like that free “disk”, tonight’s showcase is another neat initiative to show off the community’s latest spooks. There are over 40 games lined up for today’s showcase - games that are “released or releasing this year” - and if that were all, it’d be fine. An interesting stream, for sure, but just another atop the many we’ve already seen during thisnever-ending summer of E3.
In a wild twist, though, Haunted PS1 contributorsMarcus HornandBryce Bucherhave gone and put together their ownvirtual E3 convention floor. Painted in the same 4:3 low-poly stylings as the games on show, you’ll be able to take to the show floor after catching the games on stream. I’m told you won’t find games there, only horrors and secrets tucked behind the booths. I’ve never been to E3, but I somehow can’t imagine HPS1’s grim take on the LA Convention Center comes even close to the soul-draining effect of going to the real thing.
The EEK3 convention floor should open over onHaunted PS1’s Itch pagewhen showcase kicks off at around 9pm tonight. You can catch the stream over on theHaunted PS1 YouTube channel.
