CEMETERY KIDS RUN RABID (2025)

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THIS GAME, EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS. Acclaimed creators Zac Thompson (Into the Unbeing-Parts 1 & 2) and Daniel Irrizari (Judge Dredd, XINO) enter an synapse-shredding new level of the groundbreaking science-horror hybrid that began with CEMETERY KIDS DON'T DIE! One year ago, four friends barely escaped the unrelenting terror of the video game called Nightmare Cemetery. After spending endless hours locked into the innovative Dreamwave-the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep-in order to save one of their own from the game's all-too-real consequences, they survived . . . barely. But after their harrowing rescue, they've decided they've had enough of Nightmare Cemetery and its enigmatic final boss, the King of Sleep. That is, until the newest DLC, The Blighted Sprawl, suddenly appears online with a promise to reveal the truth of what actually lurks at the heart of Nightmare Cemetery's digital darkness . . . and why its effects are now bleeding out into the real world in an array of bizarre and disturbing new ways. The sold-out series that AiPT! called 'compelling sci-fi horror . . . that feels closer to home than it should' returns with a perfect new jumping-on point for the series that challenges Stephen King, Clive Barker, and David Cronenberg to a three-way PVP deathmatch in a cyberpunk haunted house!

[LOADING] An all-new injection of cyberpunk terror awaits input as Zac Thompson (Into the Unbeing-Parts 1 and 2) and Daniel Irizarri (Judge Dredd) conduct another unethical experiment at the frontier of biotech entertainment!

Meanwhile, the other members of the online gaming group are being stalked by their avatars in the real world. . . . And that's all before the new update's most terrifying boss, the Coyote Prince, prepares to unleash its next merciless attack on four teenagers with nothing left to lose . . . except their own rapidly fraying lives.
