A 30-minute cinematic psychological horror short from Seasonbean Team about waking up locked inside a familiar-turned-wrong house and piecing together fragmented, guilt-laden memories, earning a genuinely Mixed launch reception for its atmosphere and tension, undercut by honest reviewer complaints about missing display options and unclear, hard-to-spot interactable items.
5.5 / 10
A first-person Japanese horror walking sim from solo-adjacent studio OTL GAME about a virtual streamer whose real life starts unravelling after a stream cuts out mid-broadcast, earning a small, leaning-positive launch reception praised for its avatar-culture horror hook but flagged by reviewers for thin branching, a progress-blocking bug, and rough interface details.
5.5 / 10
The opening episode of a true-crime-inspired horror anthology, delivering a genuinely tense highway-killer premise and a clever optional microphone-detection stealth mechanic, undercut by a flat, predictable story and a punishing respawn flow that forces long cutscene replays.
5.5 / 10
A visually stunning Dead Space spiritual successor that never fully recovered from a disastrous December 2022 performance launch — and whose save-corruption bugs, reported by reviewers three years apart, still haven't been fully resolved.
5.5 / 10
A narrative-driven horror adventure from Until Dawn and The Quarry developer Supermassive Games, set in the Dead by Daylight universe, whose intriguing premise and strong-for-fans-of-both-franchises moments are consistently undercut by severe launch-window performance problems and a widely criticized final act that reviewers say abandons its own narrative threads.
5.5 / 10
An Inspector's Job Nobody Should Want The Door Factory launched September 18, 2026 from developer David Gallardo and publisher HeadArrow, putting the player behind a strange fa

A Cursed Monastery for the Price of a Sandwich The Horror Occultist drops you into a first-person psychological horror scenario straight out of the genre's back catalog: a curs
5.5 / 10
A Closed Carnival, a Bad Idea, and Someone Watching The Stalked 3 is the third entry in solo developer Korvinrular's episodic psychological-horror series, and it keeps the form
5.5 / 10
A moody Montana walking-sim mystery with strong voice acting and a gorgeous hotel setting, undone for a large share of its own audience by how it frames the relationship at the center of its plot — a dispute serious and widespread enough to be the review's central finding, not a footnote.
5.5 / 10
Tapes without much tape The Tall Man Tapes casts you as a UFO investigator sifting through a set of found-footage-style recordings in the woods, chasing down alien lights and a mys

A Priest's-Eye Take on the Ghost-Hunting Formula Unpossess 2: Exorcism Simulator, from small developer Chreseeba Games, entered Early Access on August 21, 2026, a follow-up to
5.5 / 10
A cheap, solo-developed PT-style horror shooter whose genuinely unnerving opening and sound design scare reviewers on both sides of the fence, undercut by a large, specific set of bugs — crashes, softlocks, and settings that refuse to save — that the developer fixed heavily in the six weeks after launch before explicitly declaring a "final update" and moving on.
5.5 / 10
A solid Nuclear Throne-style top-down rogue-lite with a fun classic-monster cast, undercut by repetitive level generation, a grindy stat grind, and at least one boss fight reviewers agree crosses into unfair.
5.5 / 10
A short, atmospheric first-person horror game about piloting a decaying spacecraft searching for a missing science expedition, openly and directly modeled on Iron Lung, whose genuine tension in its opening minutes gives way, for a large majority of this review's sample, to repetitive busywork that never quite earns the fear it's clearly reaching for.
5.5 / 10
One Player Dies First, and That's the Whole Idea WE ARE SO DEAD, a $7.99 Early Access co-op horror release from solo developer REAL PLAYERS launched on August 17, 2026, builds
5.5 / 10
A striking, PS1-inspired narrative diner sim marketed as a literal doomsday story, whose genuine strengths in art direction and voice acting are consistently overshadowed by a large, specific negative-review consensus that the advertised apocalypse is entirely metaphorical, the cooking is minimal, and a severe, untoggleable camera headbob makes it physically uncomfortable to play for many.
5.5 / 10
A physically demanding VR spelunking simulator that recreates real caves, including the infamous Nutty Putty cave, but whose Steam release has fallen noticeably behind its Meta Quest counterpart on content and updates.
5.4 / 10
A CoD Zombies-flavoured VR-and-flatscreen co-op wave shooter with satisfying gunplay and an established Quest fanbase, held back at Steam launch by a missing tutorial, item-handling bugs, and thin content.
5.4 / 10
A short, cheap Lovecraftian walking-sim horror game about a fleshy alien bio-mass spreading through the Rocky Mountains, built on strong atmosphere and a divisive twist ending.
5.4 / 10
A short, atmospheric horror game about fishing off a tiny boat to repay a debt to a literal loan shark, built on genuine dread and clever wordplay but hampered by a threadbare fishing minigame and lingering technical issues.
5.4 / 10
Five Nights Watching a Village Unravel Overtime: Patrol puts the player in the shoes of Toro, a newly appointed member of a small Indonesian village's Ronda Malam, a volunteer
5.4 / 10
An Argentine Conspiracy Turned Survival Horror Proyecto Huemul is a first-person survival horror game built directly on one of the strangest true stories in Argentine history: in 1
5.4 / 10
A genuinely beautiful atmospheric horror walking sim, undercut by an over-reliance on cheap jump scares that reviewers say breaks the very atmosphere it built, plus persistent crash reports spanning years and a store page that openly lists unresolved compatibility issues.
5.4 / 10
A budget-priced Christmas horror-comedy about a kid taking bloody revenge on a monstrous Santa, praised for its darkly funny premise, atmosphere, and well-timed jump scares, but held back by a very short runtime, oppressively dark lighting with no brightness option, and a divisive, abrupt ending.
