Gibbon: Beyond the Trees

Pure single-player experience

You swing gracefully through the jungle canopy as a gibbon in a short, emotional tale of family, loss and habitat destruction. The fluid brachiation movement is the highlight, paired with a clear environmental message.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

Pure single-player experience

An atmospheric horror game in which a small girl sneaks through a Japanese town at night, hiding from spirits while searching for her lost friend. Helplessness, silence and a miniature diorama look create an oppressive, melancholic mood.

Scanner Sombre

Distinctive, stylised art style

You explore a pitch-black cave armed only with a LIDAR scanner that paints the surroundings as glowing point clouds. A short, eerie walking-sim style experience with a quietly mysterious story.

Yomawari: Night Alone

Pure single-player experience

A young girl wanders a eerie Japanese town at night searching for her sister and dog. Defenseless, she relies on a flashlight, hiding and running from disturbing spirits, all in a bleak storybook-like art style.

Kid A Mnesia Exhibition

Distinctive, stylised art style

A walkable, surreal art installation built around Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac. You wander without combat or pressure through strange spaces filled with artwork and music, making it an atmospheric experience more than a traditional game.

Knock-knock

Pure single-player experience

A surreal horror game where you play a lonely cabin dweller who must survive the night by turning on lights and hiding from strange visitors. Its eerie, dreamlike mood is the main draw.

Perception

Dark, serious atmosphere

You play Cassie, a blind woman who explores a haunted abandoned estate using echolocation and sound. An atmospheric narrative horror mystery where you hide from a sinister presence while piecing together the history of the house.

Neverending Nightmares

Pure single-player experience

A psychological horror nightmare in a gloomy, pen-drawn style, inspired by the developer's own struggle with mental illness. You sneak and flee through nested dream layers with no weapons, and multiple endings await.

Here They Lie

Dark, serious atmosphere

A surreal first-person psychological horror trip built for PlayStation VR: you wander a nightmarish city full of disturbing creatures and piece together a cryptic story. Fleeing, hiding and oppressive atmosphere matter more than fighting.
