Amnesia: The Bunker

Lots to discover

A first-person horror game in a WW1 bunker where you survive with scarce resources, a hand-cranked light and an unpredictable monster stalking you. The semi-open, systemic layout lets you improvise routes, hiding spots and puzzle solutions.

Tormented Souls

Dread and tension

A survival horror throwback to early Resident Evil with fixed camera angles, intricate puzzles and scarce ammo. You guide Caroline through a decaying mansion full of secrets and grotesque creatures.

Rule of Rose

Strong, story-driven narrative

A disturbing survival horror game set in 1930s England, where Jennifer is drawn into a cruel hierarchy of children aboard an airship and orphanage. Its dog companion, oppressive atmosphere and unsettling story made it a controversial cult classic.

Detention

Dread and tension

An atmospheric 2D horror adventure set in 1960s martial-law Taiwan, where you sneak through a haunted school and solve puzzles as a student. It blends political repression with Taiwanese folk religion and myth for a deeply unsettling story.

Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet

Dread and tension

As astronomer John Parker you travel to the 1910 New England town of Illsmouth and uncover a Lovecraftian mystery tied to a comet and ancient beings. A classic point-and-click adventure with tough puzzles, thick atmosphere and unforgiving mistakes.

Silent Hill
