Brings what grabs you about The Ball: dread and tension, puzzles to figure out as well as a pure single-player experience.

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.

The Crow's Eye

Dread and tension

An atmospheric first-person puzzle adventure set in an abandoned medical university, where you solve puzzles and uncover the disappearance of students and faculty two decades ago. It focuses on eerie tension rather than combat.

Poppy Playtime

Accessible and relaxed

A horror puzzle adventure set in an abandoned toy factory, where you use the GrabPack to manipulate circuits and flee from creepy toy monsters. Environmental puzzles mixed with chase sequences deliver short, intense scares.

Killing Time: Resurrected

Action-packed real-time combat

You fight your way through a demon-infested mansion in a first-person shooter where deadly puzzles are as dangerous as the monsters. A tongue-in-cheek mystery about a famous riddle and an ancient Egyptian artifact keeps you digging deeper.

Killing Time

Action-packed real-time combat

Killing Time blends an early 3D shooter with puzzle solving and creeping horror inside a haunted castle, where you fight and think your way through time-bending dangers. Its gallows humor keeps the tension from ever feeling entirely serious.

Kraven Manor

Dread and tension

A horror puzzle game set in a creepy manor whose rooms you rearrange via a miniature scale model in the entry hall, opening new paths and uncovering secrets.

Don't Knock Twice

Accessible and relaxed

A first-person horror game where you search a creepy manor for a missing daughter, combining items and solving small puzzles while a demonic witch may appear at any moment. It also supports VR headsets.

In Sound Mind

Dread and tension

A first-person psychological horror where you dive into the nightmares and memories of a therapist's patients. Inventive environmental puzzles, unusual boss fights and a standout original soundtrack define the experience.
