A co-op horror-comedy about hauling wrong-looking wildlife through a national park that shouldn't exist, held back from the genre's top table by a punishment mechanic that erases a night's work for reasons the player often can't see coming.
6.5 / 10
A tense, atmospheric PvPvE bounty-hunting shooter that rebuilt itself on a new engine and a fixed 1896 setting — and split a deeply devoted, thousand-hour community right down the middle over whether the relaunch was a genuine improvement or a betrayal of what made the original special.
6.5 / 10
A psychological-horror bureaucracy sim that asks you to cross-check contradictory paperwork against a company terminal and stamp APPROVED or REJECTED — Papers, Please's mechanic wearing a haunted-office coat, from a developer who shipped two other small horror games the same fortnight.
6.5 / 10
A short, atmospheric first-person horror sim from a solo developer with an established following, whose genuinely effective scares and Night of the Living Dead homage were nearly undercut by real launch bugs — since addressed by nine patches in the game's first week alone.
6.5 / 10
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.
6.5 / 10
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.
6.5 / 10
A loop-based analog-horror game where you replay the same corridor hunting for what changed, told through VHS static and a flashlight that keeps something in the dark at bay — released two days ago to exactly two user reviews, split one positive and one negative.
6 / 10
A free top-down horror game about escaping a bar full of monsters across five linear, differently-themed levels, from a two-person team on their apparent first published release — with a storefront listing that discloses nothing to buy.
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
An idle incremental RPG wrapped around a genuinely creepy generational-horror premise — die, pass your DNA to the next generation, grow stronger, discover who's really benefiting — undercut by a specific, well-corroborated complaint from two independent reviewers that the core power fantasy runs backwards.
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 budget co-op horror extraction game about looting a haunted graveyard from a flying pirate ship, filed under "Massively Multiplayer" on Steam despite capping every session at six friends with no public lobby browser — a genre tag its own launch-day reviewers are already pointing out doesn't hold up.
