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.

This Strange Realm of Mine

Dread and tension

A short, bleak first-person shooter that blends pixel art with 3D and pairs psychological horror with poetic text. The mood is oppressive and surreal rather than purely action-driven.

Shadows of the Damned

Lots of humour

A grotesque, crude third-person shooter from Suda51 and Shinji Mikami, in which you blast through a stylized hell as Garcia Hotspur. Light-versus-darkness mechanics, black humor and a talking skull-powered gun give it its distinct character.

Forgive Me Father

Dread and tension

A fast retro horror shooter in a comic-book look that blends Lovecraftian madness with frantic fights against cultists and monsters. A sanity mechanic and unlockable abilities add a gritty, dark edge to the action.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered

Lots of humour

A crude, over-the-top third-person shooter where demon hunter Garcia Hotspur blasts through hell with his talking weapon companion Johnson. Punky humor, light-and-darkness mechanics and a rock-heavy soundtrack define the ride.

Painted In Blood

Dread and tension

A retro-inspired horror FPS set inside an artist's nightmarish mind, where you fight grotesque monsters. Dynamic horror events keep the experience unpredictable.

Selfie : Sisters of the Amniotic Lens

Distinctive, stylised art style

An experimental, dark indie trip into a repressed hippie-era past where you face what you did. Expect a surreal, psychologically unsettling atmosphere mixing shooting and exploration.

Cultic

Dread and tension

A fast, old-school boomer shooter in which you blast your way through a grim, twisted cult with shotguns and dynamite. Fast movement, gory violence and hidden secrets drive the experience.

Blood

Dread and tension

A brutal 1997 retro first-person shooter where you play vengeful cultist Caleb, mowing down undead and demons. Gothic horror settings, macabre black humor and inventive weapons like the voodoo doll make it a cult classic.
