Pathologic

Choices with consequences

A bleak survival-horror RPG set in a steppe town ravaged by plague. Over twelve days you play one of three outsiders, scrambling for scarce resources and truth in an uneasy, cryptic world that offers little reassurance.

Sunless Sea

Open world

As the captain of a steamship, you sail the dark underground sea of Fallen London, juggling fuel, supplies and your fraying sanity. It thrives on grim, literary storytelling, discovery and the constant risk of death.

The Void

Choices with consequences

A surreal, unsettling first-person nightmare from Ice-Pick Lodge where Color is your life force, your weapon and your currency all at once. Surviving means carefully hoarding and spending it, and choosing which Sisters to nurture. The result is a punishing but singular exercise in resource strategy.

Silent Hill

Strong, story-driven narrative

As ordinary father Harry Mason, you search a fog-shrouded town for your missing daughter and slip into a nightmarish otherworld. Oppressive fog, unsettling industrial sound design and cryptic puzzles make this a defining psychological horror classic with multiple endings.

Stygian: Outer Gods

Silent Hill 2

Strong, story-driven narrative

A landmark of psychological horror where James's search for his dead wife through fog-shrouded Silent Hill becomes a harrowing confrontation with guilt and grief. Oppressive atmosphere, symbolic monsters and multiple endings make it unforgettable.
