  • Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Dead Static Drive

Open world

A road-bound horror survival adventure where the world collapses around you, and your choices and friendships decide whether you fight, hole up, sneak, or drive away in a stolen car.

Cultist Simulator

Choices with consequences

A dark narrative card game set in a 1920s world of hidden gods, where you build your own cult by juggling time, resources and rituals. Cryptic rules and emergent stories arise from your experiments and failures.

Silent Hill

Challenging difficulty

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.

The Sinking City

Open world

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.

The Void

Challenging difficulty

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 2

Choices with consequences

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.

Beholder

As a state-appointed apartment manager in a totalitarian regime, you spy on tenants and make morally heavy decisions. Time, money and conscience are all scarce, and your choices lead to many different endings.

Beholder 2

Choices with consequences
