Brings what grabs you about Stay Dead Evolution: combat with precise timing, a clearly guided structure and easy-to-grasp systems.

A comedic live-action interactive movie where you survive a town gone mad by hitting rapid-fire quick-time prompts. Short, absurd and deliberately campy.

Splatterhouse

Dark, serious atmosphere

You fight your way as Rick in a hockey mask through gory, grotesque horror levels that swing between splatter and slapstick. The combat is direct and brutal, and the violence is staged with dark humor.

Splatterhouse

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Action-packed real-time combat

As the Slayer you brawl through Sunnydale in the style of the TV show, using martial arts combos and wooden stakes against vampires and demons. The show's witty humor and tone carry the experience.

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Draw Slasher

Linear, curated structure

An unusual beat'em up played entirely with the mouse, where you slash through hordes of pirate monkey zombies. It mixes goofy humor with fast, demanding action.

Lollipop Chainsaw

Action-packed real-time combat

A loud, campy zombie hack-and-slash where you play cheerleader Juliet, carving through undead hordes with a chainsaw and pom-poms. The comic-book look, cheeky dialogue and rock soundtrack give it its unique flavor.

The Lacerator

Dark, serious atmosphere

You play an 80s porn actor in a blend of classic survival horror and trashy B-movie energy, where a Lacerator can take off one of your limbs in real time at any moment. Its campy humor gives the scares a strangely entertaining edge.

Five Nights at Freddy's 4

Dark, serious atmosphere

A minimalist survival horror where you play a child defending your bedroom, doors and closet from animatronics using only sound cues and a flashlight. Precise timing and steady nerves decide whether you last until 6 AM.
