Click, Saw, and Smooch – Black Lantern Collective Brings Indie Horror to PAX East!

Krakow, Poland (March 23, 2026) The indie horror specialists at Black Lantern Collective are coming to Boston, where the only thing scarier than our games is the weather outside the convention center. Come to PAX East, Booth 22019 to warm your blood with fresh thrills and a hot babe from outer space! ​

With seven games launched so far and more than a dozen planned within the next year, Black Lantern Collective is just starting to leave its mark on the scene. We’re searching for emerging talent from around the world and building connections for all of our teams to support one another. Come to our booth to see what we’ve been cooking, and what’s coming next on the horizon.

Sucker for Love: Crush Landing
A comet just crashed into your apartment and… she’s cute? An all new story in Akabaka’s romantic horror comedy series is coming soon, and you can meet Hheily on the show floor. Take our advice though: you can look, but don’t touch!

Horripilant
Part idle, part adventure, the first title from Alexandre Declos is a breakout hit. Gather your materials, crank up your attack speed, and seek out its mysteries. Once you begin your journey into this dungeon’s depths, you may never want to come out.

Angel Engine
It’s gory WarioWare! Poke, prod, saw, and stitch up your patients before the anesthesia wears off, and keep your equipment in check because blowing a fuse at the wrong moment could mean the end of your internship (and your life) in this horror surgery simulator.

Muffles Life Sentence
Welcome to the foul depths of the Maddox Prison System where criminals are surgically altered in accordance with their crimes. Muffles has had their mouth sewn shut and their memory wiped, arriving as unrest spreads among the inmates in this strategic deckbuilding RPG.

Plus, we’ll have more demos available in our booth. So if you’re digging for indie horror, come see what you can unearth.
