Welcome to the Game II

Puzzles and brain teasers

Dread and tension

A first-person survival horror set in a desolate Greenland mine, where you're nearly defenseless and rely on physics-based puzzles and hiding to survive. Its oppressive atmosphere and mouse-driven object interaction define the experience.

Alone in the Dark

Dread and tension

A pioneer of survival horror: you explore a cursed 1920s mansion, solve puzzles and fight sparingly against monsters. Its 3D characters on pre-rendered backdrops and menacing mood shaped the entire genre.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Dread and tension

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

The Mortuary Assistant

A classic-style survival horror game with fixed camera angles reminiscent of the old Resident Evil and Silent Hill titles. As Roman you solve puzzles, explore a nightmarish world and choose whether to avoid or fight its creatures.

Dread and tension

A prequel to the first Silent Hill, in which trucker Travis Grady shifts between the real town and its nightmare twin, solving puzzles and scraping through clunky melee fights. Oppressive atmosphere and disturbing monsters are the main draw.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Dread and tension

Classic survival horror set on a gloomy island where you play as either Carnby or Aline: he leans on weapons, she on puzzles. Fixed camera angles, scarce ammo and flashlight-lit tension drive the dread.
