I’m always on the hunt for horror games that aren’t filled with gore and ghouls. One such game is Silt, where you play as a mysterious scuba diver with the power to possess other creatures. The game is more eerie than outright scary, making for an experience that is both unsettling and relaxing.

Spooptober: The Amalgamates
Undertale is an odd mixture of quirky humor and downright dark and unsettling moments. Easily the creepiest location in the game is the True Lab, where the topic of today’s post resides. But first, I must warn you that spoilers for the True Pacifist Route are beyond this point.
Spooptober: Linda the Lungfish
Horror doesn’t always need to be about ghosts and ghouls. Probably one of the scariest places outside of crypts and cemeteries is any large and murky body of water whose depths could hide absolutely anything. One such location would undoubtedly be Lake Oblongata from Psychonauts, artificially created when the town of Shaky Claim was flooded…
Figment 2: Creed Valley: Demo Review
Figment 2: Creed Valley is an upcoming adventure game that takes place in the human mind. It is scheduled for release on October 15, 2022, but if you’re not inclined to wait, there is a demo on the Switch that grants players access to the game’s first level (though I saw videos online that showed…
Cogen: Sword of Rewind: Demo Review
Cogen: Sword of Rewind is a 2D action game where you have the ability to rewind time by up to 3 seconds using the Ouroboros System, a feature of Kohaku’s talking sword, ExeBreaker. In a way, the game gave me some old-school Mega Man vibes, with the high difficulty, side-scrolling gameplay, and the buttload of…
Raji: An Ancient Epic: Demo Review
Raji: An Ancient Epic is one of those intriguing looking games I had my eye on for a while. Set in ancient India and based on Hindu mythology, the game follows Raji’s adventure to rescue her little brother Golu, who was kidnapped by demons. The unique setting and theme of the game really helps it…
The Almost Gone: Demo Review
In recent years, I’ve grown rather fond of casual puzzle games that don’t require quick thinking and reflexes. One such game for which I decided to try the demo was The Almost Gone, during which you explore the house of a broken family, each room serving as a diorama that hides items and clues to…
When the Past Was Around: A Tale of Love and Loss
A while back, I reviewed the demo for a casual puzzle game called When the Past Was Around, which tells the story of Eda and a man known simply as the Owl. The story is told without any words and reveals the tragic twist right from the start, though it is the way in which…
Bastion: Surviving in a World Shattered By the Calamity
Bastion follows the story of Kid, who is working to restore the Bastion after the Calamity, an event that destroyed much of the world. This is one of an abundant number of critically-acclaimed games that I finally got around to playing years after its release. When playing these sorts of games, there’s always the danger…
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince – Demo Review
A few months ago, I reviewed the demo for Trine 2, a side-scrolling puzzle-platformer where you play as three unique characters, Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight, and Zoya the thief. Recently, I had the pleasure of playing the demo for the much more recent Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince.
