  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Distinctive, stylised art style
  • Pure single-player experience

A short, bleak first-person shooter that blends pixel art with 3D and pairs psychological horror with poetic text. The mood is oppressive and surreal rather than purely action-driven.

Unloved

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A grim retro-style first-person shooter built from a well-known Doom 2 mod: you ride an elevator ever deeper into a nightmarish abyss of demons and monsters, with no hope of escape.

Reverend

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A retro first-person shooter in the vein of Blood and Duke Nukem 3D, with a grim, religiously tinged atmosphere and nasty creature designs. Fast-paced action and plenty of personality take center stage.

Forgive Me Father

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast retro horror shooter in a comic-book look that blends Lovecraftian madness with frantic fights against cultists and monsters. A sanity mechanic and unlockable abilities add a gritty, dark edge to the action.

Kiss: Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A flashy 2000 first-person shooter where a band member gains the powers of the Kiss characters and blasts through a nightmarish circus. Surreal levels and over-the-top weapons define the experience.

Cultic

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast, old-school boomer shooter in which you blast your way through a grim, twisted cult with shotguns and dynamite. Fast movement, gory violence and hidden secrets drive the experience.

Kingdom of the Dead

Distinctive, stylised art style

A fast-paced first-person shooter with a striking hand-drawn, ink-and-engraving look, where you fight Death's armies back to the underworld. Its unique art style makes it stand out visually.

Dementium II HD

Pure single-player experience

A grim first-person survival horror shooter in which you fight through a nightmarish asylum full of monsters and fractured memories. It is an HD port of a handheld game.

Clive Barker's Undying

Pure single-player experience

An atmospheric horror shooter set in 1920s Ireland, where Patrick Galloway investigates a family curse. First-person gunplay mixes with spellcasting, gloomy manors and a creepy tale penned by Clive Barker.

Hatred

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

An isometric twin-stick shooter in stark black and white with color accents, where you play a hate-filled killer massacring civilians and police. It is notorious for its extreme violence and the controversy it caused.
