Stay Close
Are you looking for a horror game to play with your easily-scared friend? Are you looking forward to watch how bad you and your friend are when it comes to solving riddles? This might be the game you’re looking for.
INTRODUCTION:
Stay Close is a nice looking pet project. Even though it’s pretty short game, you’ll love every second of it.
GAME ITSELF:
You and your friend are playing as a married couple. You are lost in some kind of abandoned town and apparently, you meet some weird guy called Cyrus. The room where he is is something like the “hub”. There he gives you tasks to do. From finding his compass to looking for other survivors. He also gives you some riddles to solve and you need to solve them in order to proceed.

I cannot stress to you how excited I was to play this with my friend, but I was left irritated and bored. This game has a good concept, but terrible execution. I need you to believe me on this, DON’T BUY THIS GAME!!
READ THIS:
1. Literally nothing from the trailer is in the game
2. Very repetitive, you have to use the same game mechanics over and over again for the whole game.
3. The game is short, it feels like a demo (beaten in 25 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQTDmiayzYY )
4. Bad controls (the running is horrible)

Sign of Silence
honestly a really great game for the stage its at people expect too much for an unfinished game but its great if your into the horror survival escape, yes i have found a few bugs myself like duping items and being able to climb things i should and shoot myself up things really fast and push myself through certain things but im sure this will all be deal with. before i figure all this out can i just say i fucking jumped a fair few times and also had my brother scary the shit out of me while playing it. i still give this game an easy 8/10 not just for where its at but also this could easy get better numbers in the future my only thing is i with there were more monsters its fun when you see one for the first time and dont know what the fuck to do or how it works and i feel like if there were more it would really spice up trying to take a short cut.

Let me start by saying that this game is a solid 6/10 for me, so here is my reason why.
This game has it perks but it also has it’s cons. for starters the game is great when it comes to its audio and atmosphere: The player models along with the creature models are solid, the map is great and pretty big with a lot of detail.
Now for where the game doesn’t excel at…
The game has many bugs that effect the gameplay, which in turn destroys what made the game great, the first that comes to mind is the witch. Me and my friend found a bug where the witch can’t go onto porches and into building making her less scary and it destroys the atmosphere. So if you ever spawn the witch just run for a porch or into a building, its safe there. Plus people have been leaving comments about fps problems. I have yet to run into that problem but that’s not a total surprise given that my PC is pretty solid. The items required to escape also are a bit of an issue in the game because the game becomes less difficult when you find four motors for the boat while heading south where the boat escape location.

Spent most of my time in the starting lobby, perhaps adding a control information for keyboard would be helpful. Game was clunky and controls were very rough. Aiming seemed to be impossible. Would not recommend for PC - VR may be better experience?

Chased by Darkness
Chased By Darkness is entirely new type of horror game. Compare to Devour, Pacify, or Phasmo. Players are able to fight back using weapon and able to kill the monsters. The map has different facility to explore and scenes can be triggered. No doubt this game has potential and LORE to fulfill. Best to play the game with friends or play SOLO if you’re brave enough. GG happy hunting CBD players :)

RANDOM STEAM GAME
I look all over Steam for random / unknown Steam games to play. This was one of the chosen titles this week! If you’d rather watch than read, you can do so here:

[Thoughts and First Impressions]
Okay. The game is 4.99$. That goes a LONG way in this review.
First off, for 20$ you can get you and 3 friends HOURS of entertainment. Easily. There’s three modes, Normal medium and insane… basically. Did I think that my team was even capable of passing anything harder than normal? No. Did I have a ton of fun regardless? Yes.

Damned
Really good and fresh (at least to me) idea.
I spent A LOT of time playing this game, BUT it has some downsides that will be explained later in this review.
The rough idea is being a 1 vs 4 cat and mouse gameplay that’s terrifying.
The 4 survivors can’t defend themselves with weapons, but with caution, quick reaction and coordination. Their goal is to reach the safe room which is locked down. In order to unlock it you have to find the silver key that spawned in a random location on the map. So your ultimate task is to find the silver key!

I’m writing this now, still a little stressed and in the throws of an adrenaline high caused by my friends. First and foremost, play this game with a group of friends who are bad at the game along side you and can get better with you. Playing with randoms online will not help you learn in this HIGH stress environment and the current how-to guides online are only so helpful.
Here’s what you get:
You’re one of the survivors in the haunted hotel/asylum/hospital, and your on a scavenger hunt for keys to open the various locked doors on the map. As you creep around, you deal with randomly generated hauntings that do aweful things like make the dark screen darker, mysterious spooky noises play in your ear, or keyboard keys can even be disabled. All temporary.

Horror Squad
Hello!
There can’t be ‘'-’' without some ‘'+’' and ‘'+’' can’t be without some ‘'-’'
With that Im trying to say - This game have potential.
The good side.
-
It’s fun. (Why?) Because first try’s on the game were amazing. The running, jumpscares, fear, shock was kinda unpredictable from this game. Game is combination of ‘‘Phasmophobia’’ and ‘‘Pacify’’ with a bit' more action in to it.
-
Puzzle mehanic makes the game more enjoyable.
-
Design to this game is cool, even the menu feels good. (Not cheap)

I’ll admit, my friends and I bought this because it has the same lobby as Phasmo, but we knew it wasn’t gonna be like it. We bought it on a mere whim to play something and have fun.
And BOI we had fun!!
I won’t denied that, yes, it has a bug or two, or a few, but my friends are those who makes everything way funnier, so it didn’t really matter to us, we laugh our asses out, we couldn’t even breath!
At the end it got a little frustrating because we felt that the game got so freaking hard (All my friends were death and I didn’t have any bullet on my revolver) But it felt really good when we won at the end.

Dolls everywhere you look.
Pacify currently offers a choice of three maps. Of course, a different map, a different story and a different killer. In the case of the first variant (Mansion), our adventure begins in front of a large manor house and the night and a heavy downpour with a storm work on the atmosphere. Upon entering the house, the player is not predictably surprised that many doors require a key. The search, collection and pursuit cycle therefore begins. The most important items to collect are dolls. Pacify offers exactly two versions - the “good” and the “bad” ones. There is no confusion, the bad dolls look as if Mattel has decided to do a special limited edition dedicated to black metal. In addition, these creatures giggle mischievously and try to run away from you. Your task is to find all the bad toys and burn them in the basement. Why? In them is the power of the hunting killer. On this map, a tragically deceased girl is guarding her territory, and her death is recorded in pieces on pieces of paper throughout the house. With each evil doll burned, the killer becomes more dangerous, faster, and how many times he seems to have learned to teleport.

Somewhere in the Shadow
I won’t lie, I came in thinking this game was gonna be a dumb little thing, but me and my boy had a lot of fun playing it! There were cheap jump scares, but one of the monsters was actually very suspenseful and got a real scream out of me! For only $3, I would say it’s definitely worth the money. The animations are a bit clunky, and the AI can be a bit wack, but after the biggest bug got fixed, it was a fun time and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap, hour or two horror experience.

Decent fun for a low price. There are some tedious parts where you have to avoid monsters and ghosts, but also some fun parts like the puzzles or the co-op section where one player guides the other through the darkness. The horror aspect is mostly just jumpscares, not very scary overall. Played it with a friend for Halloween and it wasn’t too bad of a time.

Contagion
Contagion is a zombie game with a good portion of realism. It uses the source engine and allow us players to create custom maps which I love it so much.
Gamemodes
There are many game modes out there but no tutorial so you are better off by watching the trailer first to get to know about the gamemodes before you get confused will all the new features. For example if you had enough with coop, you can play against other players in a level filled with the walking dead.
