Late Night Shop is a terrifying first person horror in which you must escape from evil mannequins that move and stalk you whenever you’re not looking.

Compatible with standard screens or Oculus Rift (and far more terrifying on Rift), Late Night Shop uses the same freaky scare technique as Five Nights At Freddy’s and the Weeping Angels in Doctor Who for some truly pant wetting frights. Played entirely in first person (even the menu screen), you venture through a deserted mall populated by evil mannequins. They move only when you’re not looking and they’re FAST so you can’t take your eyes off them for long - which makes searching for an exit door a nerve-wracking experience.

Currently in Pre-Alpha, Late Night Shop is already a well crafted and fabulously freaky experience - it’ll take nerves of steel and a steady gaze to escape this late night shopping experience!

The Plight is a dark and freaky supernatural first person horror with an atmosphere reminiscent of classic Asian horror movies such as Ju-On: The Grudge and The Ring (Ringu).

In The Plight, you play Wu as he explores, recovers lost memories and attempts to discover what dark creature haunts his house. During the course of the game you find out that some very bad things have happened in your house, including the murder of several children. The game doesn’t spell things out for you, but there are sufficient clues scattered around the house and some particularly horrific flashbacks to help you piece together what has happened in this supernatural chiller.

The audio, visual and game design all work perfectly together to create a tense atmosphere that feels very much like you’re inside a classic Asian horror movie. A superb spine-tingling supernatural horror.

To Lose One’s Self is a creepy psychological horror that traps players within an unbeatable maze in their own mind, as they try and collect six important items from their childhood while being chased by a sinister manifestation of their fears.
After a brief introductory stage where you can find out why the six items mean so much to you the walls fall down and you find yourself in a strange maze. This maze cannot be beaten using normal methods of exploration, but you do have a handy ability to ‘drop the walls’ for brief periods of time allowing you to skip through sections of the maze. This power must be used with caution though as there’s a deadly monster roaming the maze too – and when the walls are down there’s nothing to stop it!

Goodbye, New World is an excellent Minecraft themed first person horror that sees you exploring and solving puzzles in a decaying world once brought to life by the godly brothers – Notch and Edvard.

After Notch and Edvard created the beautiful blocky world, droves of settlers spawned in the villages, towns and cities and worshipped the brothers as gods. All was well and all was good in the land until the brothers had a disagreement about the next update, things got heated and Notch sacrificed his own brother for the greater good. But everyone knows you can’t really kill a god, can you?

Although it’s based on Minecraft, don’t expect and building and crafting here, Goodbye, New World is very much a linear narrative-based horror, focusing on storytelling and scares. The Unreal Engine powered blocky world lends itself surprisingly well to horror, building an eerie atmosphere full of tension and the occasional terrifying jump scare (especially the end scene).

After a very promising start Goodbye, New World is currently stalled in development, but the dev does have plans to continue work on it. We can’t wait to see more of Goodbye, New World, after playing the prototype, you’ll never look at the cheery, innocent world of Minecraftin the same way again!

PuniTy a terrifying Unity-Based recreation of the PT hallway, complete with stunning visuals, sinister sounds and heart stopping scares.
The gameplay is a little different and PuniTy is a little shorter than PT, but it still feels exactly like PT did – complete with dread filled atmosphere and terrifying scares. Silent Hills may be dead, but the legacy of PT is still very much alive. Highly recommended.

Self is an intense psychological horror game about a self-loathing (and self-harming) man who has been imprisoned and lost his mind.
Self is set in dingy underground prison building and played out entirely with a point & click interface - a little like Myst but with more blood and mental psychosis. You’ve been in this prison for a long time and slowly lost your mind - but you have meds to keep you sane, and you can always cut yourself if you feel too anxious.
There’s lots of symbolism and surreal imagery throughout the game, particularly in the dream sequence. Throughout the whole playtime, you question what’s real and what’s in your mind. Is any of it real? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s a very freaky psychological experience you won’t forget (even if you want to!)

Terrigon is basically a freaky first person Pac-Man, set aboard a deserted Nostromo-esque spacecraft with Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde being replaced by deadly homicidal robots.
You wake up on the bridge of a military freighter, with the crew missing and the power out. You must power up the ship by activating switches scattered throughout the hallways, then make it to the escape pods. Unfortunately for you, there are eerie robotic monsters roaming the walkways, searching for, and neutralizing biological anomalies such as yourself.
There are a few power-pill-esque charge points scattered across the ship, which will allow you to fend off the robots for a short while, but it’s largely a case of running away and avoiding them at all costs - to this end, your radar can be a lifesaver.
The corridors of the ship lend themselves well to the Pac-Man-esque gameplay - we’d love to see an Aliens mod implemented, as it already feels a little like you’re roaming the halls of the Nostromo. With 12 switches to find and activate and an ever present robotic menace to avoid, Terrigon is a tough and tense game. In space, no-one can hear you scream, but robots can smell your fear!
