unlabelledView post →The ominous double doors at the start of the trailer were loosely modeled after a set of ancient Nepalese doors posted on r/Carpentry in 2024! The engravings were inspired by the intermission art from Doom II and the Necronomicon from the Evil Dead films. The in-game version was drawn by ffive.
unlabelledView post →Your posting about this game has the vibes of someone periodically skimming through the Necronomicon wondering if anything changed and every time the answer is "Yup. Still evil."

unlabelledView post →Setting up to play this 1994 Japanese PC98 adventure, Necronomicon, a hybrid of Giger, Lovecraft, and Anime. Seems to work fine, even without DeepL. Still, having had experience with Fairytale's work before, streaming it on Twitch might be quite risky. Maybe if there's enough interest I'll try?
unlabelledView post →56) MYSTERY OF THE NECRONOMICON (黒の断章, 1999) - Our first anime on the list! This OAV is a sexually-explicit adaptation of the video game. There's a lot of Lovecraftian influence in Japanese animation and comics in general, but this is a fun 90s adult horror romp.

Stay tuned for more info 👀 #necronomicon #render #3dart #horror #lovecraft #gamedev
unlabelledView post →Since I already included an unspeakable tentacle monster... I figured, WHAT THE HELL, why not just add the actual #Necronomicon. Yes. The game now has a Necronomicon. No, you can't easily find it. #Indiegamedev #FPSgames #IndieGame #UnrealEngine #SoloGameDev
unlabelledView post →had a really enjoyable Spire run yesterday on Ironclad where the game never gave me any exhaust synergies besides a single copy of Feel No Pain and no strength but I got over the line and killed the Heart entirely with Necronomicon and Bash+/Uppercut+. God I love this game.

From the developers of Zombie Nation and Digital Pinball: Last Gladiators. They went all out on this one, especially the music. For those pinball likers out there, don't MISS this one1

unlabelledView post →lmao the Magic opened a portal to hell during the second half of Game 6, and now they're tortured by Tobias Harris in Game 7, as foretold in the Necronomicon.
unlabelledView post →The easiest fix to this issue is to level up Necronomicon of Fate to x200, but that requires either playing the game a lot or paying some money to speed up the leveling up massively.
unlabelledView post →I am seriously considering adding the Necronomicon to my game, "Dungeon" as a prop, part of me actually wants to put it in as a secret weapon but I haven't made my mind up yet! Help me make THIS and other decisions at my Patreon! Coming soon. #Necronomicon #EvilDead #IndieGameDev #Prop #IndieGame

To win her heart over you'll need to perform a few rituals from the book first! They're safe... right? Dev: @akabaka.bsky.social Link below!
unlabelledView post →My 3rd NecronomiCon finished. This year I didn't do panels just games. I didn't play a single game of CoC the entire weekend. I did play quite a few unpublished and indie games.

unlabelledView post →Digital Pinball Necronomicon is one of the wildest games I’ve ever played, it feels like a video game version of Sadeness by Enigma but also John Petrucci did some of the music for some reason

unlabelledView post →Nice! I had my first chance to be a player in a CoC game at NecronomiCon. Uncle Timothy’s Will. We all died. It was great!
unlabelledView post →When you see the Necronomicon show up in a Japanese manga or piece of card game art, odds are it'll have a face on it because of the Necronomicon ex Mortis in EVIL DEAD II. Giger's biomechanical style, especially expressed through the ALIEN franchise, is like peanut butter to Japan's chocolate.
unlabelledView post →Here's a spotter's guide to finding our games if you're lucky enough to be at NecronomiCon right now. We have a dozen books available on @baytalazif.bsky.social's Eldritch Indie Publishers Table of Doom -- you can see a few on the right side of this pic.
unlabelledView post →Thanks! I love that they added this book to the game world. Sort of like the Necronomicon.
unlabelledView post →It is my firm belief that “Finnegan’s Wake” exists in every timeline and in every book/game/movie setting, and is the source of madness behind all of it. Not cthulhu. Not Multiverse of Madness. Not Necronomicon. Finnegan’s. Wake.

We can't wait to see you all there! 😃 See more info: goodman-games.com/blog/2024/08... #NECRONOMICON #PhoenixCon #TTRPG #DCCRPG
unlabelledView post →The final Digital Pinball-branded game by KAZe would be Akira Psycho Ball on the PS2, which I remember really enjoying & felt was a great follow up to Last Gladiators & Necronomicon. I feel that the bad reputation it tends to get is mainly because it's the only GOOD video game adaptation of Akira.

unlabelledView post →I mentioned the campy movie Return of the Living Dead in the first DOTB video, which they went as far as to use as the subtitle for the second game, so obviously a lot of love for that too! One day my Japanese will be good enough to cover their Necronomicon game

unlabelledView post →Game idea: A cult of trans people protect the Necronomicon at all costs because while it's name can be translated as The Book of Dead Names, it's more accurately translated as The Book of Deadnames.
unlabelledView post →That was inspired by the game Fistful of Boomstick, the plot’s big inciting incident is someone (not Ted sadly) reading the Necronomicon on a live TV broadcast and unleashing a horde of Deadites on the city of Dearborn.
