REANIMAL (Edward Goreyian Slaughterhouse Horror)
Does the perfect horror game exist? Not with shooting things through the skull, but with searching, what I often refer to as the “seek-and-find” genre? I believe this time has finally arrived, with instant cult hit (to me at least) REANIMAL. First, let me specify what I mean by the earlier reference. The majority […]

Cerebral (Narrative Crisis Existential Horror)
I simply adore short horror games like this. Or, rather, short horror games that break with tradition instead of riding the popular theme train. Indie dev horror tends to follow the seek-and-find format, most usually with derivative jumpscares and attempts at trauma bonding the player to the story, ineffectively forcing an identity crisis through […]

Cronos: The New Dawn (Soviet Christmas Post-Apocalyptic Monster Shooter)
I was excited when the details of this game were dropped by Polish dev masters Bloober Team, especially since the setting was Poland in the 1980s during the Soviet period, incorporating cultural scars into the landscape of a post-apocalyptic world where time travel is real, future humans are fucked up nonentities that probably don’t […]

Evil West (Rude and Crude Vampire Killing Hack, Slash, and Shoot)
I first heard about Evil West before it even dropped; I may have even been contacted by the PR team but since it was a bigger name, and I believe something indie came out at the time, I passed, and in my deep regret I needed to write this, though we’re a few years […]

The 7th Guest VR (First-Person Haunted House Puzzle Horror)
I’ve often found the world of VR gaming is like navigating dusty tomes in a library. Because the market is still, arguably, in its infancy, and perhaps Golden Age, the way information moves is much different. Most VR advertising is done specifically through suggestions within Meta, or whichever device you use, and is not […]

Until Dawn (Interactive Survival Horror Drama)

Developed by Ballistic Moon, this reimagining of the beloved horror game offers a fresh perspective on the original while maintaining its core mechanics. One of the most impressive improvements in this remake […]

Silent Hill 2 (Grief-Riddled Psychological Horror Remake Masterpiece)
Silent Hill 2, released on October 4, 2024, successfully captures the essence of the 2001 psychological horror classic. Developed by Bloober Team, the remake modernizes the game while preserving its haunting atmosphere. To know Silent Hill is to love Silent Hill, there’s nothing like a good horror video game. Just so we’re clear, Silent […]

Cease to Breathe (Point-and-Click Morbid Survival Horror)
Lol brutal, just brutal. I forget now where I came across this amazing game, Cease to Breathe, but somehow it popped up in the old algorithm, or perhaps it was an ad? I don’t remember, and it doesn’t matter. What does matter is for those of you out there who remember old text-based adventure […]

Supernatural (Killer Housemaid Survival Puzzle Horror)
First and foremost, I have to give my respects to the lone developer who made a game that had me jumping like a grasshopper trying not to be squished. Whew, Steam reviews can be deadly. For a one-person operation, this game really brings the jump scare. But you have to actually pay attention for […]
