A physical zine for the Morbid, the Curious, and the Morbidly Curious.
A physical zine for the Morbid, the Curious, and the Morbidly Curious.
In the long awaited Issue 2, we interview VAPERROR and DATAGIRL, and reflect on the experience of attending 100% Electronicon 2. In a first, we also feature a poem from a contributor, "Black Market Memory", by Sara Goodman.
As we head into fall, for Issue 3, we interview AIRDORF and JESSICA HARVEY of ARBITRARY METRIC, and briefly survey the blooming Indie Horror Game scene. Roman Fruehan is also on hand, to do a deep dive into the Italian Film Maestro Lucio Fulci's long and varied horror filmography.

The Virtual Haus is a 40 page, pocket-sized guidebook to underground subcultures and the weird and eerie, created by Forward Instinct.
Send us an email at editor@thevirtual.haus. Beginning with Issue 2, we'll feature letters to the editor in the zine.
Yes! We're interested in working with artists, writers, and musicians. Hit us up at editor@thevirtual.haus to start a conversation.
With how fast culture and the internet move, as well as how often ideas get compressed into soundbites and great art gets forgotten in bookmark folders, we wanted to create a platform that is less ephemeral, less about endless content delivered at maximum speed, and more about quality, patience, and the overlooked.
Many folks know us from Forward Instinct's games, but our creative network and interests run far deeper than that - we've always felt limited in our ability to collaborate by sticking strictly to games. No longer! With The Virtual Haus, we are free to move beyond games and into the arts and literature at large.
In exchange for your loyalty, we're taking a cut in profit so that you can save money vs. just buying every issue on release. We've rolled shipping costs into the 4-issue price, and you get issues as soon as they're ready to go. By doing so, we'll have more confidence making the zine if we know there's a dedicated audience waiting on the next issue.
We mail all our zines in cardboard mailers, but even so, things happen. Send a photo of the zine to us and don't hesitate to contact us with any concerns at editor@thevirtual.haus.

Nope! That's limited to the Forward Instinct patreon subscribers, where we share entire advance drafts. We like being a physical zine.
