Brings what grabs you about Clandestinity of Elsie: dread and tension, a historical setting as well as a dark atmosphere.

Defenseless in a gloomy Prussian castle, you hide from monsters, ration lamp oil and fight to keep your sanity instead of fighting back. A genre-defining horror classic built on physics-based puzzles and relentless dread.

Alone in the Dark

Strong, story-driven narrative

A pioneer of survival horror: you explore a cursed 1920s mansion, solve puzzles and fight sparingly against monsters. Its 3D characters on pre-rendered backdrops and menacing mood shaped the entire genre.

The Last Door

Dread and tension

A pixel-art point-and-click horror adventure set in Victorian England, built on thick atmosphere, eerie sound design and a dark mystery following Jeremiah Devitt. Classic adventure puzzles drive an episodic tale of buried secrets and creeping dread.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs

Dread and tension

A linear, narrative-heavy first-person horror journey through Victorian London, where an industrialist descends into a monstrous machine searching for his missing children. It trims the survival mechanics of its predecessor in favor of a disturbing parable about greed and industry, carried by a superb score.

The Lightkeeper

Dread and tension

A psychological horror adventure set in the 1920s, where you tend a lighthouse alone on a remote island as reality and delusion blur. Oppressive atmosphere and mounting dread drive the experience.

Martha Is Dead

Dread and tension

A dark first-person psychological thriller set in 1944 Italy, where you investigate your twin sister Martha's death while reality, folklore and wartime trauma blur together. Story and disturbing atmosphere take center stage, with photography and light puzzle elements.

The Town of Light

Dread and tension

A harrowing first-person walking-style adventure set in the faithfully recreated Volterra psychiatric hospital in Italy. As Renée you piece together her troubled past and the grim reality of institutional psychiatry, with no combat and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

Still Life

Strong, story-driven narrative

A grim point-and-click crime thriller where you play FBI agent Victoria and her grandfather Gustav, investigating two eerily similar murder sprees set 75 years apart. Clue-hunting and puzzles drive the experience.

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow

Dread and tension

A folk horror point-and-click adventure set in Victorian England, where antiquarian Thomasina Bateman investigates the secrets of an ancient barrow on the gloomy moors. Moody pixel art, creeping dread and a strong narrative define the experience.
