New psychological survival horror in the Silent Hill franchise
Set in 1960s Japan, exploring the fog-shrouded town of Ebisugaoka with deep atmospheric dread. Emphasizes puzzles, exploration, and symbolic horror rather than straight combat. It’s too far outside my price range, but I would like to play it at some point.
A comedic walking simulator with a twist
You control Nate, a couch potato who suddenly must learn to walk—literally stepping into movement. The world around him is misty and odd, mixing humor and subtle unease.
I love the producer, and am keen to see what he has done in the walking simulator space with this. I’m sure we’re in for a good time.
A co-op LEGO adventure of imagination and bricks
Two players team up to build paths, solve puzzles, and rescue a mysterious spaceship. Beautifully crafted brick worlds, playable locally or online, with “friend’s pass” co-op support.
I’d love to play this one with my son, so I’m gonna keep an eye on the price tag.
The latest iteration in over-the-top looter-shooter chaos
Expected to carry forward wild guns, humor, and chaotic multiplayer action. Probably introduces new vaults, characters, and expanded worlds (announcement teased in co-op game rounds).
To be honest, I don’t think I’ll be picking this up. I played the original, and that was enough for me.
The long-awaited return of the skateboarding sim
Focused on fluid, realistic tricks and street skating culture. Aiming to recapture the original’s balance of fun, flow, and community creativity.
As a big Tony Hawks skater fan from back in the day, AND because it’s free to play, I’ll be grabbing this...!
The newly released teaser trailer for OD – KNOCK delivers bone-chilling tension in just a few haunting frames. Dim corridors (reminiscent of P.T.!), uncanny ambient sounds, and glimpses of something sinister at every turn. Psychological horror, confirmed, I think.
A charming, colorful adventure game from the creator of Katamari Damacy and the uvula team about a teen navigating life in a small town with their cute dog companion. While their body is stuck in a T-pose, they do their best to make the most of it.
This game is a real breath of fresh air. Gameplay is unique – since when have you had to control a character that can’t bend their arms? But not only that, the way the game is presented is fun, and playful. Chapters of the game are interspersed with songs from the game’s characters to add a musical vibe.
In this award-winning puzzle adventure game, play as the Traveler on a quest to reunite the Peoples of the Tower. Observe, listen, and decipher ancient languages in a fascinating universe inspired by the Myth of Babel.
It is now available on iOS as a free demo, so I picked it up.
CARRION is a reverse horror game in which you assume the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origins, stalking and consuming those that imprisoned you.
A reverse horror game where you are the monster chasing people through a science lab.
Help Lefty munch all of the tomatoes, but don't get squashed!
Made for the PICO-1K jam on itch.io. Cute little puzzler by Zep. And it’s less than 1kb of data...!
It was an insane technical challenge to compress a lighting system and game into less than 1024 bytes. It was very hard (for me at least), but I’m more impressed with it as a demonstration of technical prowess.
