Downward Spiral: Horus Station Announced for PS4, PSVR
A new atmospheric sci-fi thriller Downward Spiral: Horus Station developed by 3rd Eye Studios is coming to PlayStation this year.
Announced on PlayStation Blog, Downward Spiral: Horus Station is said to be focused on delivering a visual story through environmental cues, rather than traditional voice-over or cinematics.
Players will navigate and explore the Horus Station in zero gravity by using their environment to push and grapple to solve the station's mysteries. Tools will also be available to help to complete puzzles and take on enemies.
For those looking for a less violent experience, an explorer mode is added which removes combat entirely, allowing players to focus on exploring and experiencing the environment.

Bryan Fuller Leaves Apple’s Amazing Stories
Apple's Amazing Stories reportedly has lost showrunner Bryan Fuller.
The Hollywood Reporter cites creative differences as the cause for Fuller's departure from one of Apple's first scripted TV series. Fuller reportedly wanted to do a darker, Black Mirror-type show while Apple wants to go with a more family-friendly tone instead.
Fuller had been attached to the project since 2015, when the 10-episode anthology series had been in the works at NBC before Apple picked it up last year.
