Luna Abyss really puts the 'hell' in bullet hell with a nightmarish new trailer If you're like me and weren't familiar with The Backwater Gospel, it's a nine-minute animation from 2011 that, while not bigger than Jesus, certainly surprised me with its popularity: The original upload of the short has a staggering 4.6 million views on YouTube, but you'd be better served watching Mathorne's high-quality, 4K reupload from last year. It's a freaky and surreal piece of work, portraying a western town haunted by a supernatural undertaker who causes a single death with every visit—except this time, when he just shows up and waits. It's got a great look to it, grotesque, stylized, and a bit Tim Burton-y. Everything else it reminds me of came after The Backwater Gospel's release: Darkest Dungeon, Disco Elysium, and Don't Starve.
