The Dive
My recommendation of this game is limited to people who enjoy playing experimental indie titles. The Dive is not a good horror game, but it is certainly an interesting experience.
Approach it as if you were to approach a bizarre interactive art house film rather than an indie horror game. The game is cheap and short, but it is rich on emotions.
The game begins with an exposition: there is a submarine sending a distress signal. The submarine most likely belongs to deep sea miners of a very rare, very expensive mineral. The main character is an opportunist who plans to dive, find the submarine, get those minerals, and escape before a proper rescue crew arrives to the distress signal. He arms himself with a speargun and a diving compass.

Rather silly and too short, but the atmosphere is great. However, I’m a little biased because I love underwater horror games. The first section of might take a few tries to complete (you’ll know when you get there), but overall it was an enjoyable game. I hope the dev will make another underwater horror game in the future with a bit more depth (pun intended).

All Ashes and Illusions
“Women are snakes and liars, all of them: the more beautiful, the more conniving. Don’t let your guard down, or they will ruin you.”
Yuel was only six years old when he witnessed his mother being put to death, for the heinous crime of daring to have an affair. For other women, such a folly mightn’t have been so lethal, but for Yuel’s ill-fated mother – the wife and queen of Indra’s tyrannical king, Khalil – it spelt her doom.
As he witnesses his mother’s corpse decomposing beneath the intense sunlight, Yuel’s father offers him some sage words of wisdom: namely, not to trust women. They are, in Khalil’s words, wicked and deceitful, and becoming too attached can end in nothing save disaster.
Outwardly, Yuel must swallow his sorrow, for fear of earning his father’s ire. Kings are not, after all, supposed to cry; even future kings such as him. In private, however, Yuel turns to his nursemaid, the kindly Safiya, for succour. Safiya is Yuel’s only ally in the palace: his father cold and distant; the servants deferential, brow-beaten, and kept silent through fear. Without Safiya, Yuel would be all alone…
Yet she, too, abandons him, when Yuel grows old enough to no longer need a nursemaid to tend to him.
Bereft and embittered, Yuel has nothing to look forward to, until – after a prolonged illness – his father eventually dies, and Yuel inherits the throne and the crown in his stead.
No longer a young boy – Safiya’s ‘little prince’ – but a grown man, Yuel plots to win Safiya over once more. Unable to forget about her, and unable to trust any other woman, Yuel cannot conceive of a life without her. She did promise to stay with him, after all - and, single-minded to a fault, Yuel is determined to see this promise fulfilled at any cost.

The Wolf’s Den
The voice acting is a little rough in places, but overall it’s a fun way to eat up a few hours of your time. The Unity engine is reminiscent of a lot of mobile horror games I used to play 5 or 6 years ago, and that was pretty nostalgic for me. Either way, it seems like the dev is relatively new to game development and if that’s the case they’ve got a great start.

I really loved finding the cute octopus at the end. It’s so charming cute!!!!! 3 And the notes in every stage were very well written, I almost felt like I was reading a novel. The werewolf was indeed too spooky… (be careful for your heart attack lol). I was surprised how long the tunnel is!

End of Realms
It is an old school RPG where the player continually decides between two to three locations where the main character should go to. At each location certain or uncertain events take place. The narrative itself is set in stone when certain events are triggered or certain conditions are met at various locations. The game is heavy on combat and randomness.
The game works with three main stats (fortitude, defense and magic) that are purely dependent on gear and acquired passive skills. Passive and active skills can be found randomly or are unlocked when certain not foretold events are triggered. As a new player it can be a bit difficult to understand these mechanics which have not been disclosed. Usually there is some sort of logic in it. If for example you want to wear heavier armor, you need passive armor skills. It then could be worth it to try to collect armor and wear as heavy defensive armor as possible to boost such stats. If you would like to unlock more mage skills or play as a rogue, then it can perhaps be worth it to experiment more with those skills in the hope of unlocking more of those. There is significant experimentation required to unlock a lot of skills and thus enable various viable builds. It is unlikely that you’ll unlock all the skills, find all of the rarest equipment or all of the crafting recipes on a single playthrough.

A fantastic game!!!!!!
Easy to learn - harder to finish I guess.
I’m running it in a window 2560 x 1440 using Lossless Scaling - a program you can find in the Steam Shop.

I really wish that Steam would have a neutral rating possibility, because after finishing it in coop and single player and getting all the achievements, I’m pretty torn about it. Would I recommend it? To myself in hindsight, no, to other players with different expectations, maybe, but under heavy caveats. But let me elaborate.
Morkredd is a meanwhile pretty standard Unity coop physics-puzzler with light&shadow-mechanics. You can pretty much get a good impression of the gameplay in the trailers, stay in the light and avoid the shadows of the environment as well as of your coop partner while moving a large ball of light through the levels. Visuals are at most times pretty bleak but serve their purpose, with a handful of some short more interesting sequences strewn in (about once per level). Sounds are few. Most of the game isn’t really hard in coop, puzzles are obvious, skill- or time-based sequences aren’t too demanding. You’ll probably die a lot anyway (some sequences, especially at the end can get annoying), but there are a lot of checkpoints. Single player is also doable, but only if you’re used to controlling the left and right analog stick simultaneously (one stick controls one character) which can get confusing in-between (there’s a button to switch characters’ sides on the fly, but it doesn’t really help when characters have to pass above and below each other). Like all reviews say, the game definitely is very short, should take 2-3 hours at a maximum (depends on how often you die).

I’m going to give my thoughts on the game as a whole and further down there will be a section addressing people who are having a hard time with this game.
The Game
First off, I love the aesthetics of this game. It has a strange, abstract, almost dreamlike feel to it while also having lore that suggests that this is a world with a history. Something I appreciate is that the game is weird, but it doesn’t feel quirky. The stereo has a nice selection of songs that range from chill to unsettling which helps set the mood for both the horror focused levels and the platforming focused levels.

Honestly, this game has so much love and effort put into it. Sure the movement may be a little wonky at times, but it’s a new game and still a little rough around the edges. I highly recommend this if you’re into weird movement mechanics, difficult platforming, and a horror experience that just straight makes my, (and hopefully your) skin crawl.

Whispers in the Dark
The author was definitely trying to scare me, well, he did it. The game turned out to be quite original, but with some technical flaws. It’s too dark and a lame flashlight that doesn’t shine a damn thing.

I really enjoyed this game. It wasn’t super scary but had a good horror atmosphere throughout it. The story was also pretty good as well. It was still rough in a few spots and I think it could benefit from a note or something at the beginning that lets you know the controls like crouch, interact, and tasks. Overall for the price I would recommend this game. If you want to see some game play you can check out my video below.

Mystery
A brief overview:
A group of young people set up a tent camp on the shore of the unpopular (but, nevertheless, beautiful!) altai lake. But they were not allowed to rest in peace: soon the camp was attacked by religious fanatics who settled in a dilapidated village nearby.
Ilya Zheleznov, who arrived at the place later than everyone else, found that everything was scattered in the camp, and there were no friends in place. Ilya finds Ivan’s smartphone, on which the young man recorded an audio message in a frightened voice that Marina found some strange amulet in the forest and then she disappeared. Ilya sets off on the tracks that lead the main character into a world full of death and madness
