My favorite horror game of 2025 sounds like a literal nightmare because its composer sampled the creaking of an old house and a metal saw scraping ‘an instrument that sounded horrifying yet could have been made in feudal Japan’

Labyrinth of the Demon King is a first-person survival horror game set in Feudal Japan, featuring a soundscape composed by Remu Daifuku. Daifuku's sound design includes unsettling noises such as gurgles and eerie biwa string solos. He recorded sounds from his old house and the town's bonshō bell to enhance authenticity. A custom daxophone was created using old nokogiri blades to align with the game's historical context. The final sound design was processed through an old tape machine for a gritty texture that complements the game's visuals. The soundtrack is available on YouTube and itch.io, and the game can be found on Steam.

Minecraft cosplays have come a long way since I started playing over a decade ago, and this year has shown the most creativity I’ve seen yet

The Minecraft cosplay community has evolved significantly over the past decade, moving from simple cardboard costumes to intricate designs that reflect the game's complexity. Early cosplayers often used basic materials to represent characters, focusing on recognizable features. Notable examples include u/MobileScene9163's detailed Warden cosplay with corset ribbons and a Creaking headpiece with glowing red eyes. u/Muted_Exchange4750 created a full Warden outfit with a light-up chest, despite comfort challenges. The release of A Minecraft Movie has expanded cosplay options, with fans like u/DotBitGaming and u/IsaacELuther gaining attention for their portrayals of Steve and Garrett "Garbage Man" Garrison, respectively, showcasing creativity and dedication in their costumes.

All you need to know about Creaking, the Weeping Angels of Minecraft

The Creaking, also known as the Weeping Angels, was introduced in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4 with the Tricky Trials update. It is the first asymmetrical entity in the game, capable of stalking players and immune to all damage except through its heart, which can be found in trees in the Pale Garden biome. The Creaking only moves when players look away, similar to the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. It spawns at night or during thunderstorms and remains dormant within a 12-block radius of a player. To defeat the Creaking, players must locate and destroy its heart, which leaves an orange trail if the Creaking is engaged. Destroying the heart yields resin clumps, while attacking the Creaking can also drop resin clumps nearby. Players can use a Silk Touch tool to mine the heart intact for decorative use, but caution is needed to avoid spawning another Creaking.

It’s been a year since Minecraft ditched annual summer updates, and I have to admit there’s never been a better time to play

Mojang announced the discontinuation of its annual summer updates and the mob vote, leading to initial frustration among players. However, nearly a year later, the game's update strategy has resulted in a thriving Minecraft community. Recent updates include the Pale Garden Biome with the Creaking mob, the Vibrant Visuals update with shaders, the Chase the Skies update featuring the Happy Ghast, and the Spring to Life update adding biome variants for pigs and cows, craftable saddles, and the Copper Golem. The last major update under the previous format, the Tricky Trails update, was considered underwhelming. The shift away from cohesive themes has allowed for more frequent and diverse content updates, with five major updates released in the past year. This new approach has revitalized the game, enhancing player engagement and creativity.
