Bartlow's Dread Machine is a dual-stick arcade shooter coming this summer to Xbox One and PC. It features an animation-like style, similar to the one found in Cuphead.

In 1907, Arthur Harrington Bartlow invented an extraordinary device -- a video game, long before the era of advanced electronics. Unfortunately, Bartlow's machine often injured those who played it. He lost every penny he had, and his groundbreaking creation was lost to history. Working from archived diagrams, surviving fragments, and Bartlow's own journals, Seattle-based developers Beep Games and Tribetoy have teamed up to recreate this amazing device in Bartlow's Dread Machine, a dual-stick arcade shooter coming this summer to Xbox One and PC.
