    That’s one way to donate blood.

    The next release from Blumhouse’s game division has an interesting twist: your character’s blood actually powers their weapons. The game is called Crisol: Theater of Idols, and it’s launching pretty soon, hitting PC, Xbox, and PlayStation on February 10th. (While you wait, check out another excellent Blumhouse title: Fear the Spotlight.)
