The world comes back into focus through a haze of pain and the coppery taste of your own blood. Your head feels like it’s been split open—and it has. A phone rings somewhere in the abandoned warehouse you’ve woken up in, an insistent, screeching demand. This is how PIGFACE, the debut shooter from solo developer titolovesyou and publisher DreadXP, introduces you to its world: not with a gentle tutorial, but with a splitting headache and a death sentence. You are Exit, a terrible woman whose awful past has finally caught up to her, and the voice on the phone has…

There’s a unique, creeping dread that comes with being the last person to lock up for the night. The familiar hums of daytime commerce fade into an unsettling silence, every shadow seems to lengthen, and the mundane transforms into the menacing. Take IT Studio! has bottled that exact feeling of late-night paranoia and distilled it into a potent, nerve-shredding experience with Before Exit: Gas Station. Following up on their cult hit Before Exit: Supermarket, this sequel doesn’t just ask you to do your job; it asks you to survive it, one terrifyingly meticulous task at a time. This isn’t your…

Every once in a while, a game slips onto the radar that doesn’t scream for attention — it murmurs. CARIMARA: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs, from solo developer Bastinus Rex and published by Critical Reflex, is exactly that kind of game: a hushed, eerie, poetic hour-long experience that crawls under your skin not with terror, but with tenderness. This isn’t horror that jumps or screams. It’s horror that breathes. It’s a conversation with ghosts — some in the walls, some in your memories. And though it barely lasts an hour, it lingers like perfume in an empty room long after the…

There are games that entertain you, and then there are games that ask you to think. Dreams of Another, from Q-Games Ltd.—the studio behind The Tomorrow Children and the PixelJunk series—is one of the latter. It’s not just a game, but a surreal art piece wrapped in digital form, a lucid dream you inhabit rather than play. Built on the studio’s cutting-edge point cloud rendering technology, this third-person exploration-action experience embodies its central philosophical idea: “No Creation Without Destruction.” Every pull of the trigger is an act of genesis, every bullet brings something new into existence. It’s a paradox, a…

Painkiller is back and bloodier than ever. Developed by Anshar Studios and published by 3D Realms, this reimagining of the cult-classic shooter sends players straight into the depths of Purgatory — a nightmarish battleground of infernal monsters, brutal firepower, and redemption through destruction. Launching October 21, 2025, Painkiller rises again with a modern twist: three-player co-op, an expanded arsenal of classic and new weapons, and enough demonic gore to fill the Styx River twice over. 🎥 Watch the Gameplay Trailer: https://youtu.be/16mJESrKo6A?si=nlLMU0yOqJm27FKp ⚖️ Condemned. Redeemed. Reloaded. In Painkiller, you are one of Heaven’s condemned — a sinner chosen by the Voice…

The Alien franchise has always walked a razor’s edge between action and terror. Some entries leaned too hard into shooting galleries, while others, like Alien: Isolation, doubled down on pure dread. Alien: Rogue Incursion Evolved Edition finds a middle ground. It’s not just another bug hunt, nor is it a walking simulator of perpetual fear. Instead, it’s a deliberate blend of survival horror, methodical exploration, and moments of white-knuckle combat that actually feel like they belong in the Alien universe. This is Survios’ expanded PC version of their original VR title, rebuilt with higher-end visuals, new quality-of-life tweaks, and a…
