Trailers For Every Game Appearing At FANTASTIC FEST'S FANTASTIC GAMES Presented By DAY OF THE DEVS!
We are just mere weeks away from the 2024 Fantastic Fest and along with it, the first-ever Fantastic Games Presented by Day of the Devs! Our very own Matt Orozco (aka Macabre Matty) will be there in person while Lowell Greenblatt helps with remote coverage so we can bring you as many reviews as possible! A new addition to the festival this year for those attending in person is a gaming showcase hosted by Day of the Devs which will feature a slew of indie game studios sharing demos of their upcoming games. Many games have a horror bend, but some defy categorization altogether. Alas, we have collected trailers for all the games appearing so that you folks at home don’t miss out and know what to look for in the coming months!
