We Become What We Behold

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short, satirical browser game by Nicky Case where you play a news photographer framing events, watching how media coverage feeds fear and polarization in society. With minimal means it delivers a biting commentary on news cycles.

Chaos and the White Robot

Pure single-player experience

A highly experimental, symbol-driven indie action game that aims to convey an abstract state of mind rather than a conventional story. Expect a cryptic, idiosyncratic experience.

No One Lives Under the Lighthouse

Dark, serious atmosphere

You take over as the new keeper of a remote island lighthouse after your predecessor vanished, and slowly slip into a creepy mix of pixel art, light puzzles and creeping dread. It is a short experience built on mood and mystery rather than combat.

Splatterhouse

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic arcade beat 'em up where you brawl through a cursed mansion as Rick, empowered by the Terror Mask. Gory horror in the vein of Friday the 13th and Evil Dead 2 meets tough, linear action.

No Thing

Pure single-player experience

A minimalist, surreal action game set in a retro-futuristic totalitarian regime, where an office clerk must deliver an important message to the Queen of Ice. Style and music take center stage.

Yume Nikki

Dark, serious atmosphere

A wordless dream-exploration game where you wander surreal, unsettling dreamscapes as Madotsuki, collecting Effects. There is almost no plot, leaving all meaning to the player's own interpretation.

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A grim first-person horror thriller where you hunt serial killers as detective Ethan Thomas. Gritty melee combat with pipes, lockers and other scavenged objects plus a oppressive atmosphere define the experience.

Mad Father

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short RPG Maker horror adventure in which you play Aya, uncovering the dark secrets of her mad doctor father inside a mansion. Puzzles, chase sequences and multiple endings deliver a macabre yet emotional story.

Love, Sam

Pure single-player experience

You find a diary on your desk and slip into its story about a high school crush and small-town romance. The game is a quiet, melancholic narrative that gradually reveals a darker undertone beneath its surface.
