How We Know We're Alive

This narrative adventure is part visual novel, part point-and-click mystery where you have to get to the bottom of a tragedy across a short one-hour runtime. You step into the shoes of Sara as she visits her hometown on the anniversary of her best friend's death - but as you speak to the people in the town, things start to unravel, and it would seem there's more to the tragedy than people let on.

This highly anticipated multiplayer horror game tasks players either as a Killer or as one of four Survivors in a 4v1 battle. Players can strategise whether or not they want to work together to survive - they can also just fight all by their lonesome and be the last one standing. As for the Killer, they'll have to eliminate each Survivor as any one of the classic horror characters available to unlock within the game.

Project Dark

This unique title offers an immersive and narrative-driven experience across a choose-your-own-adventure-esque audio game. With the game's overall theme of darkness, it's meant to be played with your eyes closed, so the binaural audio should be enough to make the story come alive.

The game also features simple mechanics across six episodes, each one with its own unique charm from a thrilling fantasy adventure to a romantic first date. Choices matter greatly, of course, so it's important to think before you swipe.
