We’re bringing the horror cult classic Iron Lung to physical form for the first time, celebrating this genre staple alongside two other fan favourites from developer David Szymanski. Chase down evil creatures in the short first-person shooter Chop Goblins, and hunt squirrels in the satirical short horror Squirrel Stapler.
The twentieth release in our PlayStation 5 line-up, all three games include all content on the disc with the latest patches, tested by archival group DoesItPlay?
This prestigious, limited EDITIONS release, complete with a host of artful extras, is ideal for building a library of carefully-curated video games. Limited to 1,000 copies (PS5), it is available for collectors while stock lasts. Or, pick up our standard Retail+ version, complete with exclusive pre-order bonus extras.
Built on the core pillars of prestige, quality, preservation, and curation - each EDITIONS release is a work of art, designed to be part of a uniform, consistent, premium quality collection that you can trust. We’ve applied our award-winning design work and our highly curative approach to the games selected to be a part of EDITIONS, with every artful title pushing the medium of gaming forward, presented in the prestigious way they deserve to be celebrated in.
With each limited print EDITIONS game, you’ll find a lovingly crafted package for either PS5, Switch, Xbox, and Switch 2, depending on the title — a tested, preservation-guaranteed physical copy of the game featuring original artwork, with stunning illustrations created especially for our slipcase covers, posters, and more, as well as an essay booklet analysing the story, impact, and history behind the game.
The David Szymanski Collection comprises three short games, led by Iron Lung - a short dread-driven submarine horror game, later adapted by Markiplier into the 2026 hit full-length Iron Lung movie. Set entirely within a claustrophobic one-man submarine nicknamed the “Iron Lung”, you must blindly navigate an ocean of blood to take photographs of key locations, and hope whatever lives below doesn’t find you…
There is only a single porthole on the sub, and it needs to be closed due to depth pressure, so you have to navigate purely via an incomplete map, proximity sensors, sound, and a primitive external camera which can be used to take the pictures you need to complete your mission, or to get a grainy low resolution visual of what's happening outside. Success will require resourcefulness and patience.
Explore the mysterious anomaly known as a Blood Ocean on an otherwise barren moon. Find your way to the marked locations, photograph whatever you find there, and try to finish before the sub collapses around you... or you're discovered by whatever lurks in the blood...
In Chop Goblins, chase down the titular evil creatures across space and time, in a bespoke micro FPS campaign spanning the modern day, 1800s Transylvania, ancient Greece, and the not-too-distant future. Designed to be completed in a single sitting, without sacrificing depth, variety, or creativity in its gameplay and level design, Chop Goblins is a fan favourite in its own right.
In Squirrel Stapler, play as a lonely man in a remote cabin trying to appease his deceased beloved by hunting squirrels to staple to her and make her beautiful again. This satirical, absurdist dark humour horror hunting simulator has you hunting squirrels in the woods, whilst being wary of larger creatures and vengeful ghosts.
