Pony Island

Dread and tension

A devil-run arcade machine turns out to be a meta puzzle-horror adventure that keeps breaking its own rules and toying with your expectations. With dark humor, hacking-style puzzles and clever twists, it is short but memorable.

Immortality

Strong, story-driven narrative

You comb through footage from three unreleased films, using match cuts to jump between scenes and uncover what happened to actress Marissa Marcel. An unusual, dark mystery thriller weaving together film history, performance and obsession.

Gray Dawn

Dread and tension

A psychological horror thriller in which you play a priest accused of murdering an altar boy, wandering through nightmarish, religiously charged scenes. Exploration and puzzles drive a dark, story-focused narrative.

Book of Hours

Lore and world history

You tend a mysterious occult library in the mountains, reading arcane books, arranging cards and slowly uncovering secrets. There is no combat, just a calm, melancholy mood and the joy of discovery.

The Exit 8

Calm and deliberate

You walk down an endless subway corridor and must spot any tiny anomaly: if you find one you turn back, otherwise you keep going. A single mistake resets your progress, turning calm observation into a tense, unsettling game.
