D

Dread and tension

An early interactive horror movie from Warp: as Laura you explore a creepy hospital in first person, solving puzzles to uncover why your father went on a killing spree. Its pre-rendered CGI cutscenes and disturbing themes like cannibalism made it infamous.

Conarium

Dread and tension

An atmospheric first-person Lovecraftian adventure in which you play Frank Gilman, unraveling the fate of a doomed Antarctic expedition. Puzzles, eerie dreamlike realms and a bleak story take center stage rather than combat.
