Dread and tension

Dead Format

Strong, story-driven narrative

Survival horror set in 1990s Scotland where you hunt for your missing brother by diving into cursed VHS tapes, each throwing you into a different film era. Its appeal lies in video-store nostalgia and its homage to classic horror cinema.

The Sinking City

Dread and tension

As a 1920s private eye in the half-drowned town of Oakmont, you solve eerie cases by reconstructing crime scenes and drawing your own conclusions, with little hand-holding, in a Lovecraftian nightmare. Thick atmosphere and morally grey decisions carry the game, while the combat is serviceable rather than great.
