  • DOUBLE LIFE, DEADLIER SKILLS — BLACKWOOD UNLEASHES THE CONTRACTS UPDATE TODAY

    DOUBLE LIFE, DEADLIER SKILLS — BLACKWOOD UNLEASHES THE CONTRACTS UPDATE TODAY

    By day, Anton Blackwood runs a quiet DVD store in 2012 New York. By night, he is a rising force in the city’s criminal underworld. Now, publisher IZilla Games and independent studio AttritoM7 Productions are expanding that story with the Contracts Update, a substantial free content drop that lands today, breathing fresh life into Act 1 and addressing player feedback since the game’s September launch.

    THREE NEW WAYS TO BUILD YOUR EMPIRE

    The heart of the update is three brand-new side missions — contracts that sit between the main story beats, giving players more control over how Anton grows his reputation:

    • Survival — Wave Defence: Hold your ground against escalating waves of enemies in a high-stakes test of endurance and tactical shooting.
    • Drift Challenge: Take to the streets and prove your wheelman credentials with precision driving and manoeuvres.
    • Sniper Contract: Step back, line up your shot, and eliminate targets with calculated precision from afar.

    More side missions are already planned ahead of Act 2’s release, so this is just the beginning.

    NEW FIREPOWER — THE MP5 ARRIVES

    Your arsenal gets a major upgrade: the iconic MP5 submachine gun is now available to purchase via the in-game Dark Web, complete with multiple customisation options and attachments to tailor it to your playstyle. Compact, hard-hitting, and versatile, it’s the perfect tool for close-quarters chaos.

    COMBAT REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

    Melee combat has been fully revamped and refined — one of the most requested changes from the community. Expect weightier, more responsive strikes, fresh animations, and fluid takedowns that feel satisfyingly lethal. Movement, dives, and camera polish have also been tightened for smoother, more cinematic action.

    Elsewhere, the update brings:

    • A revamped tutorial with clearer guidance and in-game tips
    • New soundtrack additions across both day-to-day life and night operations
    • Improved enemy armour systems and balance tweaks
    • A raft of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements shaped directly by player feedback

    THE ROAD AHEAD — ACTS 2 & 3 COMING IN 2027

    Launched 16 September 2026, BLACKWOOD is being delivered as a complete experience with all future chapters free for owners:

    • Act 1 — available now
    • Act 2 — March 2027
    • Act 3 — September 2027

    The Contracts Update proves AttritoM7 isn’t just delivering on the big-picture roadmap — they’re listening, refining, and expanding the world now.

    AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW

    The Contracts Update is live on Steam at no extra cost. BLACKWOOD is currently discounted 20% until 20 November, with Supporter Edition and bundle options also live. Whether you’re returning to the streets or stepping into Anton’s dual life for the first time, there’s never been a better moment to get involved.

  • Double Life, Deadly Nights — BLACKWOOD: Act 1 Drops on Steam Now!

    Double Life, Deadly Nights — BLACKWOOD: Act 1 Drops on Steam Now!

    Indie developer AttritoM7 Productions and publisher IZilla Games have officially launched BLACKWOOD: Act 1 on Steam, kicking off a gritty, cinematic single-player thriller set on the streets of 2012 New York.

    By Day, Business Owner — By Night, Lethal Assassin

    Step into the shoes of Anton, a man leading two very different lives. By daylight, you run a quiet, unassuming DVD store — friendly faces, dusty shelves, and ordinary days. But when the sun goes down, the gloves come off: Anton transforms into a ruthless assassin navigating a shadowy world of contracts, violence, and high-stakes survival.

    This third-person action experience blends cinematic storytelling with visceral, hard-hitting combat — think precise gunplay, brutal melee takedowns, and bone-crunching finishers where every bullet counts. Preparation is key: plan your approach, manage your resources, and strike with deadly purpose.

    Just the Beginning — Two More Acts Free

    Act 1 is the first chapter in a full three-part saga — and you won’t pay extra to finish the story. Acts 2 and 3 are included in your initial purchase and will arrive as free updates for all owners. Act 2 is slated for March 2027, with Act 3 following in September 2027.

    Priced at: £23.49 / $24.99 / €24.99 — note that the price will rise as later acts launch, so locking in early gets you the best deal.

    Available Now

    BLACKWOOD: Act 1 is live right now on Steam — jump in, live the double life, and see how deep the shadows of New York run.

  • Enter Uzovnica: Bodycam Psychological Horror FPS ‘A.A.U. Black Site’ Storms Onto Steam Early Access

    Enter Uzovnica: Bodycam Psychological Horror FPS ‘A.A.U. Black Site’ Storms Onto Steam Early Access

    The bodycam horror phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down, and tactical FPS fans have a terrifying new destination to explore. Publisher IZilla Games (an Infernozilla company) and Serbian indie developer Raspberry Studio have officially launched their highly anticipated tactical psychological-horror shooter, A.A.U. Black Site is coming to Steam Early Access.

    If you’ve been craving a blend of tactical military tension, F.E.A.R.-inspired psychological dread, and ultra-realistic found-footage aesthetics, this is a classified assignment you won’t want to skip. Better yet, the game is available right now for £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99, alongside a limited-time 10% Early Access launch discount.

    Check out the pitch-black premise and cutting-edge features waiting for you below.

    A Routine Mission Turned Supernatural Nightmare

    In A.A.U. Black Site, you step into the combat boots of an elite operative working for the covert A.A.U. Special Forces. Sent on a high-stakes mission deep within Serbia, things go sideways almost instantly. Intercepted, framed, and entirely cut off from headquarters, you find yourself stranded in the eerie, abandoned region of Uzovnica.

    With communications dead and no allies coming to rescue you, your only silent witness is the bodycam strapped to your chest. As you navigate claustrophobic corridors and decaying ruins, the boundaries of reality begin to shatter, revealing that the hostile human forces hunting you are the least of your worries.

    [The Setup]: Framed -> Intercepted -> Stranded in Uzovnica. 
Your only objective? Survive the entities lurking in the dark.

    Key Early Access Features

    Raspberry Studio, a passionate team that began development with just a small circle of friends, has packed the Early Access launch with impressive technical depth:

    • Two Fully Playable Chapters: Dive straight into the terror with the first two main story missions available on day one: Chapter 1: God’s Chosen (a Demon) and Chapter 2: Guilt Trip.
    • An Arsenal of 20+ Weapons: From crisp pistols and rapid-fire SMGs to heavy-duty assault rifles, players have total tactical freedom. Choose to move like a ghost using stealth, or go loud when corners get too tight.
    • Intelligent Adaptive Horror AI: The supernatural “Anomalies” hunting you aren’t just mindless drones. Built with over 16,000 lines of behavioural code, these entities actively learn your habits, predict your positioning, and counter repetitive strategies.
    • Dynamic Horror Difficulty: The game features a unique adaptive difficulty system that shifts based on your performance. If you are struggling, the entities’ aggression subtly adjusts; if you’re a tactical savant, the AI scales up to keep the psychological tension at an all-time high.
    • Reactive Dynamic Soundtrack: Designed fully in-house, the audio leverages six evolving sound layers. The audio seamlessly shifts from quiet, hair-raising ambient tension during exploration to a punishing wall of percussion, bass, and distorted guitars when combat breaks out.

    The Road Ahead

    This Early Access launch is just the beginning of the nightmare. Raspberry Studio has made it clear that player feedback will heavily dictate how A.A.U. Black Site evolves over its planned one-year Early Access period.

    The developer’s current post-launch roadmap includes Chapter 3: Beneath the Rotten Sky, level expansions for existing maps, full controller support, customizable key bindings, and additional localisation settings.

    Lock and Load

    If you are ready to test your nerve against adaptive anomalies through the lens of a gritty, hyper-immersive bodycam perspective, head over to Steam and secure your deployment.

    Grab A.A.U. Black Site is on Steam Early Access, and join the official Discord community to leave your feedback directly with the development team. Remember: keep your eyes on the corners, and don’t turn off the camera.
