A pixel-art love letter to 1980s and 1990s slasher movies that nails its genre homage and gore-soaked presentation while offering barely more interactivity than a walking simulator, best understood as a horror movie for gamers rather than a horror game.
6 / 10
A ground-up remake of Chilla's Art's cult job-sim horror game, widely praised by the studio's own dedicated fanbase as one of its strongest entries yet, undercut by genuinely severe optimisation problems that leave a game this small demanding surprisingly serious hardware to run smoothly.
6 / 10
Cute drinks, creeping dread The Boba Teashop opens as exactly what its title promises: a small, cozy management game where you prepare boba tea drinks for a cast of pixel-art custo
6 / 10
A short, charmingly pastiche mascot-horror edutainment game earns a Mostly Positive reception for its Scott Cawthon-inspired art and early-2000s CD-ROM nostalgia, but its own review sample is dominated by a wave of launch-period bugs and a punishing restart-the-day mechanic that even many recommending reviewers describe wearing on their patience.
6 / 10
A Short, Sharp Slice of Small-Town Horror The Grove drops you into a quiet Indiana town where locals whisper about a nearby pine forest and the children who've vanished into it
6 / 10
Photojournalism in the middle of a kaiju invasion The Headliners drops one to eight players into a city under siege by monstrous creatures, tasking them not with fighting or fleein
6 / 10
A third-person survival-horror shooter that paired a genuinely strong, well-received opening chapter with deep character customization, only for its long-awaited second chapter to land as a widely criticised step backward in pacing and enemy design that has visibly split its own fanbase.
6 / 10
A visually striking Lovecraftian metroidvania about diving into murder victims' dying memories, undercut at launch by clunky controls and poor optimisation the developer never fully resolved before formally announcing, in a farewell post nearly two years later, that support had ended for good.
6 / 10
A grim, pagan-folklore 2D adventure/visual-novel hybrid about a village of children performing dark rituals, whose striking art and world-building earn passionate devotion, tempered by a consistent negative-review theme describing tedious pacing, unresolved plot threads, and a good ending some reviewers found effectively impossible to reach without outside help.
6 / 10
ACE Team and Nacon's four-player co-op Lovecraftian survival game sends a crew of cursed explorers into a jungle that actively unravels their sanity — an atmosphere and madness system genuinely worth experiencing, wrapped around combat, progression, and pacing systems that reviewers agree needed more time in the oven before a full release.
6 / 10
A tiny, atmospheric budget horror game about a night-shift food courier being stalked through a rain-soaked suburb, praised in its very small review sample as genuinely tense and well-crafted for its price, held back by an abrupt, unresolved ending that multiple reviewers independently single out as the game's clearest weakness.
6 / 10
A first-person psychological horror game about interrogating ten fully voice-acted subjects and deciding whether to shock or spare them based on deduced patriotism — a tiny but unanimously positive early review sample that credits a slow, disturbing reveal beneath what first looks like a simple spot-the-detail game.
6 / 10
A Lovecraftian open-world detective game that spent nearly four years yanked off Steam entirely by a publisher lawsuit, then came back in 2024 as a self-published "Remastered" rebuild that swapped out the version some owners specifically wanted to keep -- Mostly Positive today, praised for atmosphere and mythos, criticized for repetitive investigation, weak combat, and a rocky relaunch.
6 / 10
A short, PS1-styled psychological horror game about a lone worker rationing breath at a remote mountain train station, whose oppressive atmosphere and sound design earn real admiration, tempered by a sharply split reception over its thin, abruptly-ending story and a specific, repeated set of softlock and save-system bugs that cost some players their entire playthrough.
6 / 10
Seven years in the making, for a divided reception True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3 closes out a psychological horror point-and-click trilogy that began as a hidden-object game and
6 / 10
Unwilling Host is a solo-developer debut, a short first-person VHS-filtered psychological horror game exploring a haunted mansion, and its Very Positive review sample repeatedly praises dense, well-timed jump scares and a genuinely unsettling atmosphere, undercut by a story almost nobody in the sample can follow and a runtime most reviewers call too brief.
6 / 10
A rural psychological horror visual novel from Reanim Games, praised across a small English review sample for its oppressive atmosphere and branching narrative, tempered by an honest look at its openly AI-generated artwork and its divisive effect on reviewers.
6 / 10
A free PSX-style survival horror game set in a deep-sea prison where cutting off a monster's limb makes it multiply — reviewed on its complete 16-review sample, which splits cleanly between reviewers charmed by its atmosphere and reviewers who call it an unfinished alpha.
6 / 10
A genuinely fun premise, running a legitimate meat shop by day while stealth-butchering victims by night as a zombie, undercut by clunky mini-game execution, a thin mid-game content loop, and multiple independent reviewer reports of AI-generated art and text.
6 / 10
OLKON Games' psychological-thriller adventure earns real praise for its story, atmosphere, and soundtrack, but reviewers repeatedly flag the same problem: a game that builds toward something and then simply stops.
5.9 / 10
Read review of Temple of the Green Moon Review: A Strong Atmosphere Undone by a Rough Ending
A solo first-person survival horror game about a lighthouse keeper stranded on a fog-shrouded island, chasing fuel cans and fuses to keep the light burning while something unseen watches from the dark.
5.9 / 10
A gruesome, funny point-and-click about a motel owner who cooks his guests, hurt by a demo that promised a deeper, more consequential game than the repetitive full release delivers.
5.9 / 10
House Flipping, But the Previous Tenant Never Left GHOSTFLIPPERS bolts a haunted-house renovation business onto a co-op horror loop, and the mashup is exactly as strange and appeal

A Standardized Test That Studies You Back PENCILS DOWN sits the player down in Room 44 for a 44-question standardized exam set in 1999, and builds an entire horror roguelike around
