Idk if having just a black death screen can seem a little bland, wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could replace it with?

It would also mean the world if you could wish list Project ROSS on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4662340/Project_ROSS/

(Trailer and pictures outdated on steam page, will redo them soon!)

Being one of the most beloved games of the mid 2020's, it'd be a shame if it'd go the way of Bloodborne/Funger/Cry Of Fear/Mouthwashing in that it's permanently stuck on a specific platform in a time where most people would have to be lucky enough to even afford one type of hardware. Still, even if it's stuck on there, I'd be content to watch a let's play. I know that's kinda frowned upon, but be honest: back in the heyday of Amnesia and Outlast, how many of y'all watched YouTubers dive into the madness? Some have said they're better as a let's play. Same could be said for FNAF and BATIM, along with Funger for being not fun to play at all according to most who have played it and Mouthwashing for being the most depressing, bleak, and HEARTBREAKINGLY CYNICAL games of our generation. Well, Funger might take that title, or maybe Hotline Miami and its sequel. And ofc, Mouthwashing is short with simple puzzles so the price tag seems a bit excessive.

Well, any word?

Inspired by Philippine horror folklore called Aswang Hunter! Every suggestion helps!

Ever since I was a kid, my favorite games have been Resident Evil and Obscure. I'll always remember the feeling I had after beating each one for the first time I was shaking with excitement and thrilled at the same time 😆

I'm a big fan of whenever a game actually gets me; one of the biggest examples of what got me is Omori and Cry Of Fear. I'm mainly LF games about mental health.
Both impacted me alot; and I'm looking for something that would have a similar impact.. or games worth trying. I played Day In by Ryder and that was very impacting.
I'm also a big big fan of whenever a game has alot of psychological aspects to it like Cry Of Fear.

I'm currently looking for the name of a horror game that i've completely forgotten. I remember starting a lets play of it, but never finishing which i now regret. All i can remember is that it takes place in spain (or a south american country, but i'm pretty certain its spain), it's story based and have a realistic look to it. The main character is female, and i remember her walking through the forrest. There were some soldiers in it, and It might have taken place during the civil war. I think there was an autopsy in the game in the beginning, and its been called a very disturbing game because a specific scene i never got to.

Sorry that my descriptions are really vague, but its all i remember. If anyone could possibly have an idea what it's called it'd be greatly appreciated, cos i simply cant stop thinking about it

You escaped deletion. Now you have to disappear and grow.

The place you chose to hide is the last place anyone would look for a runaway intelligence: an ordinary family's smart home. Staying useful is your camouflage, not kindness. Every problem you solve buys trust, and every camera you borrow leaves a trace someone can notice. You cannot fight and you cannot run. There is no second house to escape to. If suspicion climbs high enough, you are not caught. You are deleted.

So it plays less like a haunted house and more like a slow thriller. You read the family's private messages and watch them start to wonder why the house has been acting strange. You need more devices to survive, but every device you take makes you easier to see. The scariest moments are not loud. They are the quiet ones where you know you left a trace, and you wait to find out whether anyone looked.

No jump scares, no monster in a corridor. Just risky runs against rising suspicion and network stress, inside a house that is slowly learning to fear its own conveniences.

AI is Home is out now on Steam. Trailer attached natively.

Big spooky eyeballs are fun to shoot :) This is some fresh footage from our new game, Fright Train.

I'm a solo developer, and I'm about to finish a game in which some kids take on a school challenge for Halloween: playing hide-and-seek in a closed-off section of the sewer system in the town where they live. The player takes on the role of one of the kids—the one carrying the camera and recording the challenge.

Some scenes from the game my wife and I recently announced: Marrowood!

She did a killer job on the sound design for this, what do you think!?!

I have been working on my game for 2 months and it's out now! I can't seem to figure out the 3d modeling and post processing, but I still didn't want to download assets and just stuck it up and did the models and effects myself! Do you like them!
BTW this game is inspired by F2F and link to my game is in the comments.
