nuclear armageddon is just a phone call away
Action

7.5/10 - Great tense experience, (10-30 mins), a game that makes you feel part of the world as you're put into an simple but actually really tough situation navigating a Cold War phone call menu. The game is visually simple but effective and so is the gameplay. There isn't much more that could be done to make the game better except for expanding on the idea, but my biggest gripe with the game is that after the first or second playthrough it slightly loses it's charm. ( It took me my 3rd try to complete the game with 7m 50 secs left, missed out on the good ending by 20 secs on my 2nd try)

You are lost in a seemingly endless forest. Heavily inspired by the Blair Witch Project.
Adventure

6.7/10 - Great looking game with good ideas that reminds me of The Blair Witch Project, (15-20 mins), Stylistically and graphically it looks damn great, the ambiance is creepy, sound design and ideas are all there to be something really great. However I do think the story is alright and it makes sense considering the starting message of the game but I do wish the story was built on more or went with a more grounded approach.  I also wish there was more of a threat to your character as it feels like a walking sim that scares you with a threat but the threat isn't menacing enough!

Go to work, the lighthouse won't fix itself.

6.4/10 - Good idea with an alright execution, (15-20 mins), as you play longer you realize something is changing, the way the game changes in terms of characters and environment is simple but effective as it feels a bit tense especially towards the climax. 

However the climax for me is slightly disappointing as I expected a bit more, but it still ends up being an interesting experience. For me the game as a whole is missing important story elements that would make it even better, this ultimately is my biggest gripe with the game!

7/10 - A solid and fun little puzzle experience with a few shortcomings, (20 mins), it's a game with a great atmosphere which makes you feel like something is coming to get you, unique concept and mechanic which you don't see being used much. But with that being said, it has some things that I wish were improved on. The puzzles being too simple, the game lacks tension or urgency as there aren't any time limits to the puzzles except for one, and although the ending is interesting, I did find it slightly underwhelming!

Interactive Fiction

6.5/10 - A very interesting concept that is too short, (10-15 mins),  the game is visually great and has an amazing aesthetic with a creepy idea that doesn't have enough time to flourish. It presents an idea that I was expecting to build up longer but it ends abruptly and the end feels unimpressive due to how quickly it ends. The ending needs to be extended and the creep factor needs to be prolonged. I also wish there was a longer build up in the game which included some more mechanics to explore the locations within the game!  

Don't talk to strangers, unless your mother needs you to.

6.8/10 - Unpolished but really interesting little game, (20 mins), It's a game that had me intrigued but left me slightly disappointed due to the ending. The characters are unnervingly creepy and they are all interesting in their unique bite sized ways. The gameplay mechanic of interacting with the characters is great and I wish it was used more in games as it avokes the feeling of being a scared child.

However my issues with the game come down to it the story and game being unpolished. It would be an even better experience if it was worked on more and the elements that are already in the game should be improved on. But overall it's an enjoyable experience that I would like to see developed more!

Explore an abandoned mall, make some returns, and scrounge for some nice little gifts.
Adventure

7.5/10 - Quirky,  simple and special but slightly eerie mall game, (30-40 mins), this game excels at character building as it's what makes the game super interesting and I like how the mall is believable for the context of this strange little world. The Dialogue is fun, gameplay is simple but the game sets out to be a great experience. I wish it pushed harder on the horror elements however the game did a great job at capturing a vibe. I was really interested in the world and I came out wanting more from it! 

They cannot stop Golf.
Adventure

7.5/10 - Golf but you're schizophrenic, (1-2 hours), it's a tense golf game that had me stressed at times and keeps you on your toes. Stylistically and graphically it looks great and is complimented by good gameplay. However the game does have it's lows as gameplay wise it can also be slightly frustrating (is easier when you figure out all the mechanics) and the first half of the game is stronger than the second half. Overall it's a great game and I can see this game being even more fun in VR! 

​Survive the perilous climb and plead with the mountain god to resurrect your beloved.
Platformer

6.5/10 - Good concept but has issues, (40/60 mins), interesting game that uses parkour with a world that can be built upon even further in other games. The actual parkour is satisfying and works well for the duration of the game. 

However the game has a couple issues such as the games world design could be better, it also has a game breaking glitch during a cut-scene meaning you have to restart the whole game again if it happens to you. And in addition if that happens to you, there is no save feature in the game.

A short, horror visual novel about a midnight visit from a strange being, who demands you open your eyes. Will you?
Visual Novel

7.4/10 - An introspective but simple text based game, (30-50 mins), it's an interesting narrative experience as you learn about yourself, it's dark and deep but not scary or tense, it's also weird but calming in a way that you don't usually experience in games. However I do wish there were more endings based on your choices, but the 2 endings that exist make sense in the context of the game!

A Short Point and Click Horror about Angels.
Interactive Fiction

5.4/10 - Interesting and ominous idea with a very meh execution, (10 mins), It's a point and click game with a potentially good concept for a larger in scope game. But this game in particular feels like it drags and it get's boring by halfway through due to the monotonous gameplay.

Will this trip to the bathroom be your last?
Survival

7.2/10 - Fun goofy little game, (20 mins), It's a game with uniquely refreshing and really funny quirky dialogue with remnants of it reminding me of a more sfw south park. It's an interesting but goofy story which suits the vibe perfectly. However I have my gripes with the puzzles being not difficult but very ambiguous, and the boss battle being underwhelming and weird due to the bosses hitbox.

Unravel your past in this PSX atmospheric horror game.
Adventure

6.5/10 - Predictable but a good little game, (15 mins), it has solid visuals with a nice PS1 style, and a great atmosphere. The story is dark and good at what it presents but I thought ending was predictable halfway through the game. This game could be great but only if it was expanded on a few important aspects such as building more in the world such as expanding some of the areas, encountering other characters and there being some type of enemy that can give you a threat.

get high. get low. get useless.

7.4/10 - A rough diamond that is definitely an experience, (3 hours, 100% completion). A grungy game with character, whether it's the environment or all the characters, references or exploration, finding new things is a trip. It's dark, funny, shows how extreme society is and combine that with a whole lotta DRUGS. But there are issues with this game such as it feeling repetitive with how the quests works, slow pacing due to movement speed, glitches with the inventory and some game breaking bugs. It's not scary or tense but it's dark in term of subject. It's a great game but it's not for everyone!

An exploration of the deteriorating mental state of a serial killer.

6.8/10 - If analog horror was a traditional indie horror game, (30 mins), the story is more interesting the more you find out, it's really tense and creepy in certain moments, but it's missing a few things and misses out on a few moments which could make the experience even scarier or more disturbing.

A game about a phone that can summon.
Puzzle

6.2/10 - Great premise and style with nothing further to show, (20 mins), great potential but it doesn't go past the idea of it's potential as puzzles are easy, there's no story, there's a great atmosphere and a really cool setting which leads to a experience that looks great but it feels slightly hollow.

I also wish the game pushed harder on those horror elements aswell as nothing makes you feel like you're in danger except for a few minuscule moments. It has a very abrupt ending and the game as a whole feels like a nothing burger with a lot of good ideas. 

This game would be great if it was heavily expanded on as it gives me slight portal vibes and I can see something big out of this game if it was worked on a lot as currently it feels just like a prototype!

A night unlike any other
Action

6.3/10 - Mediocre game with a fun little twist, (15 mins), it has an interesting twist which subverts expectation, however the gameplay is mundane and the game without the twist is just eh. But I have to give it some due credit as it does a great job at pulling you back into the game and you end up having a slight appreciation for what it does.

Surreal job interview simulator.
Survival

7.6/10 - R-rated but clever little game (15 mins), contains different choices and endings, the characters and some of the storytelling is weird, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 and funny. However it has one or two things I would've changed such as the ending battle and a few smaller things. It's not a scary or tense game but it delivers in being a fun quirky experience with a Halloween vibe and aesthetic.

Ride it, see where it takes you.

6.7/10 - Game is simple but effective in conveying fear, (15 mins), it has a small story with a nice psx style. The main mechanic of the game where you go down a slide is great and leaves you full of uncertainty. But I hoped that the story and gameplay mechanic would be expanded upon!

7.2/10 - Unique fun little game that keeps you on edge, (10 mins), great concept that has tense moments, it short and sweet but wish it was longer.

Down, down, down.
Simulation

8.3/10 - A special little indie game, (40-60 mins), it has everything to be a great game including a really interesting story and gameplay loop, amazing sound design and grungy stylistic visuals. It's not scary but has a heavy atmosphere which lends itself well to the situation that you're in. You can see how this game takes elements from some popular indie games but it does a fantastic job at doing so and I would compare this game to some indie greats...

7.4/10 - A small emotional puzzle game, (40-60 mins), a great little story with a memorable but abrupt ending, the puzzles can be difficult and sometimes easy, it's not scary or that tense but it keeps you guessing at what will happen next.

6.7/10 - A stylistically pretty game that feels like a dream, (18-25 mins), it's a unique little game where you figure things out the more you play, gameplay wise it's a little monotonous and wish there was more consequence to your actions but it builds up a story which makes you confused but curious of what will happen. The game builds up to a really good twist in the story which I really enjoyed. And as a whole is not scary but I would consider it slightly tense.

Shrek is back...
Adventure

5.7/10 - Very Basic, (15/20 mins), shitpost game that has some small funny moments using meme humour/references. Could be a much more fun game if it was expanded on but keeps you occupied for 20 mins. It tries to sprinkle in scary moments however it's not scary. 

Survival

7.4/10 - One of the most tense games i've played, (30-50 mins), It's a prototype and it feels like one. However the mechanics and how this game keeps you on edge is special, and it's pretty scary.  The level layout is sometimes frustrating and the game does feel incomplete in some ways

The corpse is alive.
Adventure

7.4/10 - An interesting & solid story, memorable characters (some are amazingly written) and a pretty game, (1-2 hours), the gameplay is very basic but the the story engages you especially towards the endgame. The characters and the visuals of the game are the strong suits of the game for me as the game is pretty and the characters have great personalities. The game as a whole is not scary however it has some solid jumpscares. 

There are small life improvements that I do wish were in the game such as a save system, brightness slider or pause game button as the game feels unfinished in some ways. *These changes might be implemented by the time this review has been read by you and if they have been, then I would increase my score slightly*

Baby Blues Nightmares is a toddler horror game where you play with a baby on a tricycle to find your lost dolls
Adventure

7.1/10 - Short but intriguing little game ( 20 mins ), as a prologue it gives an interesting game idea, it's a bit glitchy but it looks nice. It's not that scary but it has some tense moments. I'm looking forward to playing the full game so hopefully it expands on the ideas of this prologue (BEBE) (There is a full game of this released on steam).

Retrieve your lost class assignments.
Adventure

6.9/10  - Great looking game but slightly frustrating, ( 20-25 mins if you don't die ), good setting with great aesthetics. The game has basic idea which is fun and is slightly scary (keeps you on your toes). But the camera is frustratingly annoying, controls are also a bit strange and these elements are the games biggest drawback as it hindered my experience playing the game. But if these elements are improved on and the game is expanded on then I can see myself giving a higher rating (There is a full game of this released on steam).

6.8/10 - Short Creepy experience ( 10 mins ). It's unpolished but unsettling and it would be even better if it was expanded upon. It has an interesting mechanic that I haven't seen being used before but it really makes the game feel special!

Kill all humans!
Simulation

4.7/10 - Meh slop, short game (20 mins) has potential but not enough effort put into the world such as textures and certain visuals. Gameplay is too one note for being a slasher game!
