  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Distinctive, stylised art style
  • Accessible and relaxed

A psychological horror game in which you interact with an early-2000s desktop assistant whose behavior on your PC grows increasingly unsettling. Its appeal lies in playing with the computer interface and the creeping unease.

Faith

Focus on a single character

A pixel-art horror game styled after early home computers, drawing on the 1980s Satanic Panic paranoia. Its stark retro visuals and bleak mood build a tense, creepy atmosphere.

September 1999

Dark, serious atmosphere

A free first-person found-footage horror experience with a grainy VHS look that lasts barely five and a half minutes. It relies on tight, uneasy atmosphere and lo-fi analog aesthetics.

Fractured Minds

Dark, serious atmosphere

Sally Face

Strong, story-driven narrative

An episodic point-and-click adventure about a boy with a prosthetic face who investigates a murder series and supernatural secrets in a gloomy apartment building. Its distinctive comic-like low-poly look, 90s atmosphere and emotional story set it apart.

Lust for Darkness

Dark, serious atmosphere

An erotically charged psychological horror journey through a Victorian mansion and a disturbing parallel world inspired by Lovecraft and Beksiński. It focuses on atmosphere, puzzles and light stealth sections.

Virginia

Distinctive, stylised art style

Virginia is a dialogue-free, cinematically edited first-person story game where a rookie FBI agent investigates a disappearance. Hard film-style cuts, a strong orchestral score and surreal dream sequences make it a short, unusual experience.

The Supper

Strong, story-driven narrative

A short pixel-art point-and-click horror adventure about the darkest depths of the human soul, following a kind woman whose life unravels when a mysterious voice begins speaking to her.

Duck Season

Distinctive, stylised art style

A nostalgic horror adventure where you play a kid in the 90s binging a duck-hunting video game, slowly realizing something sinister lurks in both the game and the apartment. Short, atmospheric and full of retro charm with a dark twist.
