Sorry, gamers, but Markiplier does not have a secret cameo in "Five Nights at Freddy's." Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach is colloquially known as the "King of 'FNaF'" for his role in helping spread the indie video game to the masses, and many speculated that he would appear in the live-action adaptation. Unfortunately, that's not happening, as confirmed by the King himself.
In a new video published to his YouTube channel, Fischbach confirmed that the lack of his presence was nothing more than a scheduling conflict. "It was supposed to happen," he said. "There was a time it was supposed to occur, and unfortunately the 'Five Nights at Freddy's' movie and my movie, 'Iron Lung,' were being filmed at the exact same time," he said. "It was nothing more than it just so happened to be a conflict of schedule." He said that the plan was that he'd be there for two days of shooting,...

Markiplier‘s directorial debut has moved one step closer to its theatrical release. The creator known for his gaming videos has shared a teaser trailer for Iron Lung, an adaptation of the video game of the same name.
Iron Lung is a horror game in which players encounter terrifying horrors within a subnautical environment. Markiplier (real name Mark Fischbach) played the game on his channel shortly after its release.

As Lovecraft once put it, “the oldest and strongest kind of fear is the fear of the unknown,” which I think perfectly summarizes why cosmic horror stories are so effective. Commonly defined as a subgenre of fiction that derives scares from existential and/or incomprehensible threats, cosmic horror presents us with situations where knowledge isn’t necessarily power and the protagonists can’t always win. And with video games allowing players to virtually experience stories instead of merely observing them, it makes sense that developers frequently borrow from Lovecraftian fiction when attempting to tell deranged yarns.
However, not all cosmic scares are created equal, so we’ve decided to come up with a list celebrating six of the most disturbing moments of cosmic horror in video games. After all, it’s worth remembering that horror gaming has the potential for more than mere jump scares and repetitive zombie killing.

Here’s a sampling of the games that made an appearance during the two-hour event.
Wrong Organ’s Mouthwashing is a narrative driven first-person horror game following the dying crew of a shipwrecked space freighter Tulpar. Slated for release on Steam later this year, the game has you living out the remaining time of the five-person crew. The ship will run out of power within six months, but food rations are running even lower. With no chance of rescue, the only hope lies in the cargo hold, as the contents could mean a prolonged chance of survival. However, the crew is prohibited from going in there under company orders…

San Francisco, June 22 (Ians) As the search for a missing OceanGate submarine intensifies, an indie game called Iron Lung which is a short tale of piloting a tiny submarine with rudimentary tech through an ocean of blood on an alien moon, has seen a spike in sales.
The indie game developer David Szymanski said that the game was seeing a spike in sales and popularity on his personal Twitter.
“This feels so wrong,” he posted on Twitter, along with a graph of the sales that went up after the tourist submarine went missing with five people on board during an expedition to the Titanic’s wreckage in the North Atlantic last Sunday.
The game is also being bombarded with positive reviews, one of which reads: “Retroactively based on a true story.”
“For those who are interested in Iron Lung but averse to playing the game, YouTuber Markiplier is set to...

It used to be that video game adaptations were limited to big budget franchises, with household names like Super Mario Bros. and Mortal Kombat getting blockbuster movies while more niche experiences like Dino Crisis and System Shock were mostly ignored by non-gamer audiences. Not only that, but corporate expectations and bloated production budgets meant that these big screen adaptations would often misunderstand what made these franchises popular in the first place.
Fortunately, it seems that the days of the “video game curse” are far behind us. Not only are recognizable franchises like Five Nights at Freddy’s receiving long-awaited adaptations, but even indie experiments like David Szymanski’s Iron Lung are being adapted into feature length horror movies (with this one in particular being written and directed by none other than Markiplier). And with the indie gaming scene going through a creative revolution, we thought that this might be the...
