Tomb of Chacal

A budget first-person stealth horror game that drops a lone archaeologist into a Mayan tomb full of patrolling "Guardians," built on a demo that spent over a year gathering feedback before the ten-level full release launched with no user reviews yet to check it against.

Vultures - Scavengers of Death

A turn-based survival horror from Team Vultures that swaps Resident Evil's real-time dread for tactical, tile-based combat, Very Positive across a large English review sample for its retro charm and inventive combat puzzles, with a fair, widely repeated complaint about crashes, softlocks, and other launch-window bugs.

Werewolf: The Inner Beast

A third-person survival horror game from FTRGameStudio set on a werewolf-haunted space station, Very Positive across a rich English review sample as an atmospheric Alien-meets-Dead-Space horror outing, with fair complaints about recycled content relative to the developer's earlier game, a steep price, and controller UI friction.

Who Are You!?

Who Are You!? is a first-episode-only sci-fi psychological horror walking sim built around real UFO research, and this review's sample is Very Positive on atmosphere and premise while flagging real concerns about the pace of a small, only-partially-released episodic story, buggy launch-week jank, and one specific, disputed claim that the game's "no AI" pledge doesn't match what a reviewer says they found in-game.

Yellowcreek Stories - The Cabin Watcher

A first-person, no-combat stealth slasher where a masked killer hunts by noise, light and movement rather than a script — built for one intense sitting, released day one with a single verified user review and a demo that had already been public for five and a half months.

The Pale Mimic

A short, atmospheric Alaskan wilderness horror game about a fugitive, his dog, and something that isn't a wolf — beloved for its sound design and its loyal canine companion, but repeatedly criticised for a scripted, repetitive hunting loop that never lets the player feel real danger.

Wolf Mate

A flirty stalker-horror game about outrunning a wolf-girl monster through a locked school, Wolf Mate pairs a clever escalating chase system with two dozen goofy endings, undercut by muddy sound design and a handful of launch-week rough edges.

Carnival Massacre

A solo-developed PS1-era survival horror throwback with genuine retro charm, undercut by a slow opening act, real launch-day bugs, and a short 1-2 hour runtime — offset by unusually fast, sustained developer patching that this review verified independently.

Twisted Tower

Thomas Brush's Atmos Games and publisher 3D Realms send players climbing a corrupted 1950s theme park armed with toy-themed guns in an openly Bioshock-inspired arena shooter, one whose striking atmosphere and creative weapon design are consistently undercut by shallow combat AI and a widely panned story.
