Cronos: The New Dawn is a brutal third-person survival horror where you fight for the future by salvaging the past. Burn monsters before they merge. Extract souls from the living. Adapt or die.

Set in a grim world where Eastern European brutalism meets retro-futurist technology, Cronos: The New Dawn lets you experience a gripping story that straddles the line between past and future.

In the past, you will witness a world in the throes of The Change, a cataclysmic event that forever altered humanity. Meanwhile, in the ravaged wastelands of the future, every moment is a fight for survival against dangerous abominations that will test both your reflexes and your tactical thinking.

You are a Traveler working for the enigmatic Collective, tasked with scouring the wastelands of the future in search of time rifts that will transport you to 1980s-era Poland.

In a desolate world filled with ever-present danger, your survival hinges on your ability to strategize and plan ahead. The enemies you’ll encounter are nightmarish creatures, born from the remnants of humanity – defeating them will require you to make full use of your arsenal.

You can manipulate temporal Anomalies to clear a path through the desolate environment, and will have to scavenge for resources to replenish your limited ammo and supplies. Good preparation is key. Once in battle, split-second decisions can mean the difference between life
and death.

The creatures you kill won’t stay dead for long. Fallen enemies can be absorbed by others — through a grotesque process called Merging — to become faster, tougher, and far deadlier.

The only way to stop them? Burn their bodies. And do it fast.

If you don’t, you’ll face ever-evolving abominations that will push your combat skills to their limits.

Your mission is to locate key people from the past who perished in the ensuing apocalypse. Using your all-powerful Harvester, you can extract their Essences and have them accompany you into the future.

But be wary: these essences have a profound impact on your journey.

The more you carry, the more haunted your suit becomes — increasing your prowess on the battlefield but also bringing with them whispers in your ear and flickers into your vision, edging you ever closer to madness.

PROJECT ZERO: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse” was released in Japan in 2008 as the fourth game in the FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO series. Following the remastering of “FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO: Maiden of Black Water,” the series masterpiece is being brought back to life with upgraded graphics.

■About the Game

A group of children mysteriously disappeared during a festival on Rogetsu Isle. Although they were found, they had lost their memories. Now they have returned to the island as teenagers. The girls rely on the Camera Obscura, a camera with the power to capture and seal away unthinkable horrors, and the faint beam of their flashlight while exploring various locations and fending off the ghosts that attack them as they attempt to discover the truth of their haunting past.

-Camera Obscura
This is an old camera with the ability to repel vengeful ghosts and seal away their power by photographing them. As such, it is an indispensable item throughout the game. The Camera Obscura can be used as a weapon against ghosts by spotting them through the viewfinder and taking photos of them to inflict damage. It also plays a major role in the girls' investigation, as its special power allows them to see the keys that allow them to find their way through new areas.

-Exploring Rogetsu Isle
Explore the dimly lit Western-style mansions and abandoned hospitals on the island by relying on the moonlight and the faint beam of your flashlight. Progress the story by interacting with items and places that spark your interest. From past newspaper articles and notes, you uncover the vile secrets of the past, unravel the lost memories of the protagonist, and discover the truth.

■Features

-Improved Graphics
In-game movies and character models have been improved to make the story and characters more appealing. In addition, the graphics have been improved for each platform. The rendering of shadows and the beam of the flashlight has been refined so players can experience more realistic horror.

-New Snap Mode
Pose characters and ghosts freely to create haunting memories in the new snap mode. Perhaps you may even take unexpected spirit photos by accident...

-New Costumes

Having inherited their Aunt Kate’s house, Riley Park starts exploring what the reclusive woman left behind. In the attic, Riley is surprised to find a stack of VHS tapes next to an old TV set. The tapes seem to be episodes of an early 2000’s era children’s cartoon they have never seen before. Intrigued, Riley pops the first tape into the VCR.

Not the highest budget production from the looks of it. It appears to have been made locally and features a little girl named Amanda and her loyal yet shy best friend, Wooly the Sheep. While the episode appears charming and simple on the surface, an uneasiness starts to settle in as Riley realizes that Amanda and Wooly seem to be communicating directly through the television set. A gnawing feeling in the back of their mind presses them to stop, but Riley is compelled to continue watching the tapes. It’s almost as if Amanda needs something, and Riley becomes fascinated with finding out what that something may be.

A short yet intricate single player horror experience
Animated tapes that tell an unsettling story, all under the guise of a welcoming children’s cartoon
Classic, 90’s-style CGI that recalls a simpler era of animation
Characters who interact directly with the viewer—a dream come true for any 90s kid...or is it a nightmare?

You are an angler haunted by huge debts. In the midst of yet another night working at sea, you catch something different: a fish which talks, and promises to make you rich... but at what cost?

Features

A brief (around 30 minutes) fishing horror game about debt and hopelessness. Enjoy a twisted cautionary tale in one sitting.

Underwater eye-cam. Watch the fish biting the lure, then retrieve it as fast as you can. Be careful though: something else may be watching you as well...

Fish and gut. Fly-fish like a pro, then gut your catch to keep 'em fresh. Be careful with the knife though: you don't want to cut yourself.

The talking fish wants a deal. Consider the alluring promises of this mysterious being through surreal dialogues and twisted choices.

The loan shark is coming. This is no relaxing cozy fishing experience. Your time is running out, and something horrible lurks in the water.

“Static Dread: The Lighthouse might wear its influences on its sleeve, but it delivers a unique horror experience that is worth checking out if you like ethical dilemmas and Cthulhu mythology. This very well may be the next hit indie horror game.”

Mesmerizing tales of the sea
Strange characters
An atmosphere of unknowable horror
Multiple endings

***

In the aftermath of a global cataclysm, the harbor authorities reactivated an ancient lighthouse, hoping to keep the seas navigable amidst the growing chaos. A lone keeper is dispatched to the forsaken island, tasked with manning the beacon. The fate of passing vessels and the nearby town now rests in his hands. Far away, a wife and daughter wait for his return.

***

Each night, his duties grow more perilous. Mariners report encounters with creatures beyond the reach of science. Ships drift back from distant waters - empty, their crews vanished without a trace. In the island’s fishing village, the locals whisper prayers to sea gods and perform rituals to raise the dead.

Will the keeper preserve his sanity, protect those he loves, and guide the vessels entrusted to him through the abyss? Or will he, too, be lost to the dark tides gathering beneath the surface of the world?

Inspired by some of the most influential surrealist works (Silent Hill, the original tale of Alice in Wonderland, films by David Lynch and Satoshi Kon...), allow yourself to be swept away by an intense and mesmerising story, oscillating between dreams and nightmares.

Gloria is a cabaret dancer at the end of her rope. As her career, relationships and self-esteem begin to deteriorate, a mysterious patron makes her an offer she couldn’t possibly refuse. Will this event mark the end of her recent struggles , or the beginning of her descent into hell?
Decarnation is a story of survival, where monsters and nightmares weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life. Get ready for a poignant and captivating adventure!

With a wide variety of mini-games, Decarnation expertly brings together the classic elements of horror and adventure games, where each challenge requires consideration, responsiveness and coordination. Solve cryptic riddles, confront ominous enemies and explore a bewildering world...

Decarnation's Rêve and Cauchemar soundtracks feature contributions from numerous artists, including the renowned composer Akira Yamaoka (Silent Hill) whose works blend horror and the paranormal, breathing life into this nightmarish tale.

EXT. MANSION - NIGHT "FIND VINNY"

Night falls and he still won't pick up the phone. You arrive at the mansion: the last place he went. It's oddly quiet for the site of a glamorous party the night before. Your invite must have gotten lost in the mail. In any case, you make your way inside to find your friend.

Actors have to look out for each other in this industry.

Feed me something real

INT. MANSION - NIGHT "PLAY YOUR PART"

An abandoned film set. A broken home cinema. Searching the mansion and unlocking its secrets requires the fullness of your ingenuity. Pay attention.

INT. HOME CINEMA - NIGHT "A SPLICE OF LIFE"

Your search reveals a number of USB drives and memory cards containing corrupted video files. Some can be spliced together to reveal what really happened within these walls. Try not to lose yourself in your work.

INT. HEART OF HOLLYWOOD - NIGHT "TAKE YOUR SHOT"

The house is watching. It seems to haunt your steps. Piece together what really happened last night as you discover a side of the entertainment industry only discussed in whispers.

The cruelty. The sordid gossip. The auditions gone wrong. The shadowy figure with the power to make or break your career.

There's only one way to guarantee your success: feed me something real.

Team and Ansher Studios fully delivered on their promises, creating the definitive way to experience these journeys into madness. There's no denying that there isn't a more immersive horror experience to be had in 2023.”
8/10 – Wccftech

“This is easily the best game Bloober Team have put out yet, and its existence serves to show everyone why they believe they're the right people to helm the Silent Hill 2 remake—and I have to admit, they've convinced me. Just like that, I've gone from being ambivalent about Silent Hill 2, to cautiously optimistic.”
9/10 – PC Gamer

“Bloober Team and Anshar Studios take what strong foundation had already been laid with the first three titles, and improves upon it substantially with fresh, impactful mechanics, excellent visuals, and a brand-new, overarching tale that spans the length of all artists' stories. For both new and loyal fans alike, Layers of Fear is a worthwhile venture back down the rabbit hole.”

The stage calls for its lead actor. The novel needs its final chapter. It’s time to face your fears. One. Last. Time.

The series, which has left a mark on narrative-driven first-person psychological horror games, returns to tell its final spine-chilling story in Layers of Fear.. The series’ crowning work is the definitive way to experience the critically acclaimed franchise as it features Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, as well as all DLCs (including the new ‘The Final Note’ DLC that will give you a new perspective on the Layers of Fear storyline) and the never-before-told story of The Writer, which will tie everything together. Built on Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear supports Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution to make the stunning visuals, and your nightmarish experience, as immersive and realistic as possible.

Layers of Fear: Create Your Magnum Opus
“The one precious thing you ever truly desired… FINISH IT.”

Explore a Victorian mansion covered in artwork as The Painter, whose sanity crumbles and cracks just like old oil paint on canvas. Trawl through the ever-changing house to find the supplies needed for your greatest masterpiece, all while trying to outrun your past.
Inheritance DLC: Face Your Past

“I was once told insanity runs in my family… It’s time to make it stop.”

Told from the perspective of The Painter’s Daughter, you come seeking answers. What secrets does this homestead hold? Will you ever truly understand the madness that bestowed your father? Can you ever forgive him? The house may hold everything you need to know... if you can face reliving your past.

The Final Note DLC: Delve Even Deeper

A brand new DLC which aims to shed more light on The Painter, his muse and the family’s backstory, The Final Note is told from the perspective of The Painter’s Wife. This additional narrative may change how you see the characters of the first game, as well as their actions.

Layers of Fear 2: Hit Your Marks

“Time waits for no one, actor. Do not waste ours.”

You are the lead actor in a production being filmed aboard an ocean liner, but all is not what it seems. Explore the ship and discover why you were perfect for The Director’s (voiced by Tony Todd) latest film. You awake and are told one simple command “Act.” But will you?

The Final Prologue

The first expansion to Layers of Fear 2’s storyline allows you to step into the director’s seat and take the reins of a troubled Hollywood production. Immerse yourself into the psyche of the movie’s creator as you seek to complete your final masterpiece, even as the set around you descends into chaos.

It’s up to you to direct the action and make sure that what’s in the script makes it onto the silver screen. Experiment with different takes and try to fulfill your vision of the ultimate horror movie, all while battling inner demons and external forces that threaten to derail the whole production.

This latest chapter in the Layers of Fear anthology is available as a FREE UPDATE for all current Layers of Fear owners. The Final Prologue is playable as a separate chapter within the game’s menu.

The Lighthouse Chapter: Link the Layers

Enter a lone and ghastly lighthouse as the newest protagonist, The Writer, and discover a never-before-told tale which will tie the entire series together. What awaits you there? You’ll just have to find out.

Game Features:

Explore unsettling environments and solve strange puzzles to unveil the narrative at the heart of this first-person psychological horror experience.

Three different stories of craft-obsessed protagonists (The Painter, The Actor and The Writer) which are interwoven to create a truly immersive experience and gripping storyline.

Everything in the Layers of Fear series, including all DLCs, so you can find the answers you want.

New brand-new core mechanics that will be introduced to Layers of Fear and its sequel, as well as additional features, so all the chapters and stories will blend seamlessly.

Rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear supports Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution to make the visuals as realistic as possible.

This is a story about death.

Luto is a psychological horror experience where you take on the role of someone unable to leave their home. Every attempt to escape will lead you deeper into the unknown, where nothing is as it seems and everything will test your senses.

What lies behind loss: feel the void left by the absence of a loved one, where despair grows, fed by anxiety and depression. Day after day...
Between reality and fiction: delve into an enigmatic place and explore its labyrinthine paths full of secrets. The truth has many faces, and you might not like the one you find.
Will not let you go: experience unsettling terror that envelops your senses, with fears lurking around every corner. Darkness does not only dwell in shadows.
Never.

STORY

In The Complex: Expedition, you are sent into The Complex along with your team to explore the unexplored regions. When that mission goes horribly wrong, you are left alone, dazed and lost, wandering the seemingly infinite maze of hallways of The Complex.

THE EXPERIENCE

This is a psychological horror experience based on the "Backrooms" urban legend. View the world through a VHS camera and follow along a storyline involving an expedition into The Complex.

With different endings and shifting entry points into The Complex, every playthrough can seem different. This is a slow-burning, atmospheric horror experience focused on exploration and tension.

Experience one of the most immersive Backrooms experiences to date.

Explore the mysterious and unforgiving world of The Complex.

Investigate an unknown lifeform residing in this world.

NOTE: This game is not connected with Kane Pixels' Backrooms nor the Backrooms Wiki/Fandom, though some parts of the experience may be inspired by them.

BE CAREFUL OF THE HALLUCINATIONS

GAME OVERVIEW

If the hallucinations don't persist, you're safe. Open the door and get the medication from the visitor.

If the hallucinations remain, take the medicine by the door.

Follow this routine for 8 days, and your condition may begin to improve.

GAME INTRODUCTION

I am a psychiatric patient.

I don't remember when it started—or even the moment the headaches began.

Hallucinations are nothing new to me. But when they linger and begin to overtake reality, it's a whole different story.

I have to take the medication.

Caught between hallucination and reality— Are you ready to face the truth?

MULTIPLE ENDINGS

The story doesn't end with just one playthrough.

Replay the game to find hidden doll pieces.

Each piece is a key that brings you closer to the truth.

There are three main endings.

And when all pieces are collected, the true final ending is unlocked.

Who's at the Door? is a short psychological horror game inspired by surreal titles like The Exit 8. It offers roughly 90–120+ minutes of immersive gameplay, letting players experience the world of a patient suffering from hallucinations.

BREAK THE CYCLE

Will the nightmare of the war ever end? Will you find inner peace one day? In Ad Infinitum, you play as a German soldier haunted by the horrors of the Great War. While your mind grapples with memories of your family home and the trenches on the front, you try to break the endless cycle of suffering.

BETWEEN A DREAM AND REALITY

You wake up in your bedroom, unchanged from your teenage years, in a run-down and deserted manor house. Suddenly and inexplicably, you are transported to the trenches where the horrors of war are overshadowed by vile and even more terrifying creatures. Unable to distinguish between reality and nightmare, you must fight to regain control of your life's narrative.

NIGHTMARES THAT BECOME REAL

Unspeakable nightmares come to life in the recesses of your mind. To escape the death traps and terrifying creatures, you must understand the source and motivation of each monster and solve the puzzles that stand in your way. From blind demons who can hear your softest footsteps to hideous disjointed puppets who move in the dark, horror is around every corner.

A FAMILY TORN APART

The fallout of the war is felt far from the front. Peel back the shroud that hides the secrets of your family, torn apart by the Great War, and try to remember your past. Through exploration and by solving riddles and puzzles between the walls of your home and the barbed wire of No Man’s Land, you ultimately reveal a chapter in the story of a German family torn apart by war.

You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.

You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

She will do everything in her power to stop you. She'll charm, and she'll lie, and she'll promise you the world, and if you let her, she'll kill you a dozen times over. You can't let that happen. Don't forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.

You're not going to listen to him, are you? We're supposed to save princesses, not slay them...

Features

Fully voice-acted by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.
Hand-penciled art - every background and sprite is drawn traditionally with pencil and paper by Ignatz-winning graphic novelist Abby Howard.
A princess. She's very bad and you have to get rid of her for all our sakes.
No, the Princess isn't a “cosmic horror,” whatever that is supposed to mean. She's just an ordinary human Princess, and you can definitely slay her as long as you put your mind to it.
Don't even think about trying to romance her. It won't end well for you.
Hopefully you won't die. But if you do, you'll die a lot. Be careful and stay focused on the task at hand!
A branching narrative where what you say and what you believe determines both who you are and how the story unfolds. Though I wouldn’t recommend taking any paths outside of the one I lay before you.
A new roleplaying experience from the creators of Scarlet Hollow.

Slay the Princess is a choice-driven psychological horror visual novel/dating sim with dramatic branching, light RPG elements, and hand-penciled art.

What’s in the Pristine Cut?

3 brand new chapters replete with mysteries—and consequences.
Expansions to familiar routes. The Den, The Apotheosis and The Fury each have each more than doubled in length.
Over 35% more content overall—and all of it filled with great opportunities to listen to me and do your job.
A new ending. And hopefully one that saves the world rather than damns it.
Track Your Progress: Cherish your memories, relive your exploits, and uncover deeply hidden secrets with the new gallery feature.
Over 1,200 New Hand-Penciled Frames hand-illustrated by Abby Howard.
Over 2,500 New Lines of Dialogue fully voiced dialogue by the impeccable Jonathan Sims and Nichole Goodnight.
