Horde of Distraction is a game being made by Static Feed, and they asked me to check out their demo. The game is described as “An incremental game inspired by classic RPGs. Fight monsters, collect rare gear, progress through a vast skill tree, and defeat powerful bosses!” on their Steam page, and honestly, I really didn’t know what that meant. Turns out it means use your mouse to hover over stationary enemies, and either they die, or you do.
After an hour of playing, this is me killing everything
Now this sounds pretty boring, honestly. Trust me, I understand being skeptical; I certainly was. The demo starts out pretty slow, in typical RPG fashion, killing rats for a little bit of money and maybe earning some levels. You then use that money to buy some upgrades. I tell myself one more run.
I went a little overboard and got them all
After a little bit of rat killing and barrel breaking, some new enemies show up. They are a bit tougher; they do more damage. I tell myself one more run, again. I can’t go out this way. At this point, I have some basic gear, and I am hoping to get some more so I can merge it into better stuff. One more run turned into many more runs.
Before I realize it, I have killed the final boss of the demo, and I am asking myself questions about my life I didn’t know I had, most notably, how was this fun, or when can I get my hands on the full game? Most importantly, why is there a skull in my inventory that seems to have no use?
I obviously won’t be giving a score to a demo, but I encourage everyone to go check this thing out. It plays very well and is far more fun than I ever expected it to be. As an added bonus, the trailer has a bull playing guitar. Check it out below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
In The Lost Wild, players embark on an immersive evasion-based survival horror experience where they are pitted against nature’s ultimate hunters — dinosaurs. They assume the role of Saskia, who wakes up on a mysterious island overrun by prehistoric creatures. To survive, Saskia must explore derelict research facilities nestled in a lush wilderness and be resourceful while evading and overcoming this unstoppable threat.
Players become the hunted as the dinosaurs roam the abandoned facility, seeking out their prey. It’s essential to observe movements and patterns to learn about their behavior, to stay alive in this violent primal world. Choosing the best path forward is key, as players use stealth and caution, or venture off the beaten path to discover hidden routes which might lead to safety.
“The Lost Wild is a survival horror experience unlike any other, one that is built around slow burn tension while players are hunted by intelligent dinosaurs. These are not monsters, these are wild animals that think of you as prey,” said Great Ape Games CEO Nick Gregory. “This idea has persisted in various forms and iterations over the years. What started as a shared passion for dinosaurs, curiosity, and a love of games eventually grew into a fully fledged grassroots studio with over 25 talented people behind it. We now find ourselves in the incredibly fortunate position of building our dream dinosaur game, a true love letter to the genre, alongside one of the best publishers in the industry.”
Players can acquire useful items to improve the chances of survival, but will become subject to ever-increasing dangers the deeper Saskia explores, while using non-lethal weaponry, resulting in intense cat and mouse-style gameplay. Players can create distractions and use the environment to their advantage or temporarily scare off deadly predators using a combination of non-lethal weaponry to escape and evade.
Outmaneuver, distract, run, and if all else fails, hide.

There’s a few rare times I see a trailer for anything and truly have no idea what the hell went on. This game is one of those cases. I got a bit of a PT vibe meets Cabin in the Woods feel which could be pretty cool. Some of the imagery was interesting. Honestly this one of those games I’m pretty invested in just to find out what the hell is actually happening. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

So once again I came across a game channeling some old school horror vibes ala the Tortured Souls series. Admittedly this game gives off a huge, classic Resident Evil 1 vibe with the scenery. What I think is cool is the idea of killer plants and plant monsters. In that regard I was getting a lil bit of Poison Ivy’s section of Batman: Arkham Asylum feel too. The tank camera is a lil bit of a con but if the game is smoother, I’ll be ok with it. In the end, I’d definately would keep on eye out for it when it comes to PS5. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
