Allogloom
A macabre take on other worlds and how one perceives reality, Allogloom is a creepy-cute point-and-click treat for fans of haunting tales.
Tormentum II
Bigger and arguably better than its predecessor, the long-awaited Tormentum II is a welcome darkly atmospheric psychological horror sequel that will have you constantly questioning yourself, even your own perception of what is real.
With its gritty detective story, anthropomorphic animal cast and stylish film-noir presentation, Into the HIVE is a worthy addition to an already impressive visual novel/adventure game hybrid series.
The Occultist
The Occultist’s many fetch quests provide a fairly fun way to get the blood pumping and the heart beating through an anxiety-inducing ghost story, though the survival elements might be overwhelming for those who don’t like to be scared to death.
The Caribou Trail is a short but powerful tale of brotherhood in the trenches of World War I that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who plays it.
Call of the Elder Gods is an arguably even better follow-up to Call of the Sea, continuing the saga with plenty more puzzles and a tighter story that fleshes out its Lovecraftian tale of eldritch horror and destiny.
Its puzzles may leave something to be desired, but Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss legitimately feels like one of Lovecraft’s dark stories experienced first-hand.
Life Is Strange: Reunion is a fitting capstone to the story of Max and Chloe started years ago, providing a welcome feeling of closure and satisfaction that this tale was worth the wait.
Its emphasis on mini-games over traditional puzzles may not appeal to everyone, but Apopia: Sugar Coated Tale is a delightful and surprisingly poignant journey of self-discovery that isn’t always as sweet as it looks.
The Last Case of John Morley transitions from a film-noir mystery into a psychological horror that reveals just how fragile the human psyche is, prioritizing atmosphere over detective work in its short run time.
