The Last Door is a well crafted Lovecraftian point and click adventure that sees you investigating the disappearance (and probable death) of your childhood friend after receiving a cryptic message from him.

As you explore your fiends deserted home, The Last Door weaves a very macabre tale, riddled with corpses and occult experiments (you actually hang yourself during the opening sequence).  The puzzle design is intelligent and satisfyingly morbid - one puzzle actually requires the use of a twitching, half-dead crow.

As you uncover more of this dark tale, the audio and pixel art animation work wonderfully together to create a gloomy, oppressive feeling - bad things have clearly happened in this mansion.  The Last Door is a door that’s very much worth opening.

Antumbra is a super tough and very creepy dungeon crawling adventure populated by a wide variety of SCP-style monsters that will tear you limb from limb.

Taking a text adventure/visual novel approach to dungeon crawling, you are presented with a variety of options at each crossroads and encounter.  Some of these options are are listed in a numbered list on screen, while others are hidden away within the picture of the scene.  One wrong turn can mean a quick and gruesome death, so you’ll have to use your wits (and a little luck) to survive the hazards of Antumbra.

Much like Dark Souls, you’ll die a lot, but each time you’ll learn from your mistakes. There are many, many creatures roaming the world of Antumbra, a few are harmless, but most will rip your throat out in a heart beat.  Taking inspiration from Darkseed, Silent Hill, Hellraiser, Shivers, Event Horizon and HP Lovecraft, Antumbra weaves a very dark and disturbing tale, with a twisted sense of humour and nasty surprises around every corner.

Dark, deadly and dangerously addictive, a wonderfully twisted tale that will chew you up and spit you out.
