Selene’s Nightmare
Charming indie horror game, but sometimes a bit boring. Handling and music are good, visuals are a bit simple. Just watch my video of the first two levels and decide for yourself.

The Fortress of Varnolis
personally hate puzzles, but can appreciate the style and atmosphere which are amazing. Can see this being a perfect game for a person who loves puzzles. For that i will put this as a recommended.
The “Old school” horror game save system i hate, like losing a lot progress after failing. Literally Was looking what to do next and randomly ran out of air/breath(?) and died. This put me back another 10-20 minutes and will happen every time until i find what to do. This to me is not a fun design.

No Light
This game is full of jump scares it starts out real quick it gives you anxiety and all, however it becomes too repetitive and the jump scares starts to not scare you anymore.
Here’s a game play I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYEmDv3zFMc&t=32s

I tried twice and noped the heck out of this game. There isn’t a jump scare or audio jump scare this game doesn’t love and the overall effect is to make you jangly and jumpy. Good luck figuring out which demons can kill you in one hit and which are just quick frights.
Demons are jerks, overall, and love pouncing out of the darkness towards you in this game. And a few got me good enough that I tried hiding in the closets. Then I reminded myself I can wait until the devs make a version filled with cute kittens. Oh, were the cameras supposed to work? I couldn’t get 1 to 5 to do anything.

The Guilt and the Shadow
So, this is yet another gloomy indie game about psychological disorders.
There’s little to say about this one. In its own genre it’s probably OK. The visuals are stylish and the sound design is quite awesome.
But the story doesn’t really catch your attention. The monologues and occasional dialogues are quite unnatural. And the gameplay part just plainly sucks. You walk slowly, you need to backtrack the levels all the time, it’s surprisingly hard to find a proper spot to start climbing a ladder. So, all in all, as a game this thing kind of fails.

An emotional experience about the torments of a man plagued by the “guilt” of his mother’s suicide (“shadow”).
Set in a black and white pencil drawn world, the player guides the mentally ill protagonist through a succession of dreams/nightmares.
To advance in the game, we have to solve simple puzzles to unblock passageways or unlock memories.
The pace is slow, giving the time to the player to immerse itself in the dark atmosphere of the game. And the game can be finished in one setting, which I would recommend in order to not lose the connection to the story.

Cloud Climber
As many others note, this isn’t a game, but more of a very short walking sim. Very relaxing. Took me 23 minutes to wander through while listening to the narrator and reading the notes left behind by “game characters”. The scenery is hauntingly beautiful, and the creator must have put a lot of effort into making those hand-drawn graphics.
However, the backstory, or history, is very shallow. The game description on the store page gives you more information of what’s going on than what you learn in the game itself. Only the basics of the backstory are given to explain what led up to the point where you now find yourself. You must use your imagination to fill in the details of what happened.

Cloud Climber is a very short walking simulator, with nice hand drawn graphics, and a brief story about why the builder build the towers. The time I played gave me a taster that made me want to see a full blown game expanded from this idea as the end came abruptly. (not that I was expecting anything less {or more}. Because the developer is giving this simulator away for free you really cannot go wrong downloading and checking it out. I found that it was worth the 15 to 20 minutes of time it should take to complete the simulation. You can actually complete it much faster if you ignore the messages, but that would defeat the point of this developers project. It actually took me almost 45 minutes to finish, but I was dragging my feet looking at the views and taking screen captures etc.
