INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Eight games. Seven matches. One community-chosen champion.
CIM // VERSUS is our new community gaming tournament series, and the first transmission takes us into classic survival horror. We’ve selected eight games released between 1996 and 2005. Through head-to-head polls in the Cimmarian Discord, you decide which ones advance—and which nightmare survives the final.
The opening matchup is live now: Resident Evil (1996) vs. Haunting Ground (2005).
Which one gets your vote? Think about the atmosphere, the tension, the sound, or the moment that stayed with you long after you stopped playing. Choose the game you want to see reach the semifinals, then make its case in the discussion.
Joining the Discord and voting are free. You don’t need a paid Cimmarian membership to take part.
