The Painscreek Killings

Lots to discover

As a young journalist you comb through an abandoned 1990s town, gather clues and piece together the truth behind a murder case with almost no hand-holding. It thrives on genuine detective work and a dense, eerie atmosphere.

Kholat

Darkwood is a bleak top-down survival horror where you scavenge a eerie, partly randomized forest by day and barricade your hideout against horrors by night. Its surreal atmosphere and deliberately cryptic story create constant dread.

Wilderdark

Pure single-player experience

A first-person survival horror game set on a strange island teeming with parasitic dinosaurs and organisms. You sneak around gathering evidence and samples and craft tools to stay alive.

Under the Ocean

As a shipwreck survivor you fight hunger, thirst, disease and wildlife on a deserted island, building a home using items that combine in many unexpected ways.

The Last Keeper

Pure single-player experience

As a lighthouse keeper on a remote island, you maintain machinery, work the radio and guide ships into harbor while eerie secrets of the island unfold. An atmospheric horror sim in the vein of Voices of the Void.

Blackfrost: The Long Dark 2

Challenging difficulty

A frozen survival sandbox set after a quiet apocalypse: you fight cold, hunger and new hazards in a vast, empty wilderness, alone or with others. It follows in the tradition of The Long Dark, focused on survival and atmosphere.
