Banned Memories: Yamanashi is a very creepy Resident Evil-style adventure horror complete with authentic retro PS1-era visuals, tank controls and static camera angles - creepy, clunky and very cool.

Masochisia is a deliciously dark and disturbing point and click adventure horror that we first covered way back when it was in Alpha, in which you play a clinically insane boy with an even more insane family.

You play a young boy who has “Extensive psychological abnormalities with a genetic predisposition to sadomasochistic tendencies.” This is probably largely due to your upbringing, as your mentally disturbed parents aren’t the most nurturing of people (in fact, once you meet them, your character seems relatively sane in comparison).

Needless to say, Masochisia is a very dark game that treads places very few games would dream of going - within the first five minutes you’ll speak to a voice in your head, receive a savage beating from your (also fairly insane) father and suffer a psychotic break. Throughout this onslaught of insanity the beautiful hand drawn artwork is superb (the GIFs above are made from in-game footage), complementing the dark subject matter perfectly and drawing you into Masochisia’s bizarre world.

Masochisia is due to release on Steam soon and the game’s developer is looking for some honest feedback from Beta Testers. Those who give useful feedback will receive a full version of the game when it releases on Steam - so if you’re looking for a truly unforgettable point and click adventure, you’d be insane not to sign up!

Clown House - a scary first person horror in which you must contend with the most evil and freakishly scary of all gods creatures - the clown!
Your goal is simple - grab the key and escape the house. But the key is hidden in a random position each time and one of the clowns may or may not kill you. The clown’s behaviour is random each time, a lot of the time they’re content just to leave you alone, but occasionally they’ll come for you. When this happens, you’d better run - these clowns prefer to spread death than joy. You do have access to a gun, with a single bullet in it, but we’d really recommend abstaining from using it, as it makes the game far too easy if you can kill your pursuer (something we’d love to see changed in future releases.)
It’s a short and simple game that merits multiple playthoughs, as the randomness of the clown’s behaviour allows for plenty of jump scares. Can you escape the Clown House?

Taking around five minutes to complete, it’s an impressive, oppressive and dread filled experience, that will really get under your skin.
Jump scares and creepy apparitions constantly keep you on your toes and you explore the house in search of some form of redemption. Freaky horror with real feeling.

DreadOut is a very creepy 3rd person adventure horror with a sinister vibe similar to Asian horror classics like The Ring or Ju-On: The Grudge. You play as Linda, a school girl who gets separated from the rest of the students on a high school trip which has taken an unexpected detour into an old deserted town. This results in you roaming this creepy town on your own, with only the camera on your cell phone to fend off the freaky Asian ghosts, taking pictures a-la Fatal Frame/Project Zero to capture/kill them.

The Alpha Demo is a short half hour taster of what the full game will be, and while the controls can be a little clunky at times, but it’s consistently scary. As surreal, tense and freaky as any of the great Asian horror movies, DreadOut offers up some truly terrifying jump scares in it’s short play time.
