Brings what grabs you about The Light Keeps Us Safe: sneaking and hiding, dread and tension as well as a dark atmosphere.

You are a test subject trying to escape an SCP Foundation facility while escaped anomalies like the statue SCP-173 hunt you. Blinking as a mechanic, randomly generated corridors and constant dread make for a tense, scary experience.

Monstrum

Runs that play out differently every time

A survival horror game on a derelict cargo ship with procedurally generated layouts. A stalking monster hunts you and death is permanent, so you must hide, outwit it and find a way out.

The Persistence

Runs that play out differently every time

The Persistence is a first-person stealth horror built for VR, where you sneak through a starship whose layout reshuffles after every death. You hide behind cover and peek around corners while hunting enemies try to find you.

Amy

Post-apocalyptic setting

A survival horror game where you play Lana guiding a young infected girl, Amy, through a quarantined city. The two-character teamwork is the core idea, though clunky controls and rough technical execution hold it back.

Routine

Sci-fi setting

A tense first-person horror trek through an abandoned lunar base styled after an 80s vision of the future, where you dodge hostile machines with a clunky tool while uncovering what happened to the crew. With almost no HUD, it relies on atmosphere, sound design and dread.

Soma

Post-apocalyptic setting

A harrowing combat-free horror journey through a ruined deep-sea research station that confronts you with unsettling questions about consciousness and identity. Its philosophical story lingers long after the credits roll.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead

Post-apocalyptic setting

A single-player horror game set in the A Quiet Place universe, where you play a young woman sneaking silently through a world overrun by sound-hunting monsters. Every noise can be deadly, while family tension and personal fears drive the story.

Duskers

Runs that play out differently every time

You guide a squad of drones through derelict spaceships using a command line, relying only on sensors and limited camera feeds. Its roguelike survival structure and oppressive atmosphere keep tension high.

Tattletail

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short first-person horror game where you look after a talking 90s toy while its menacing Mama prowls the house. You scavenge for batteries and food and hide from her to survive until Christmas.
