The Pimento

Even though this game was released in 2017, it still holds up really well. If you're a fan of 'The Room' games, this will be right up your alley. This is the first of three games in the series. Enter The House of Da Vinci. Solve mechanical puzzles, discover hidden objects, escape from rooms and dive into the authentic atmosphere of the Renaissance. Use all your wits to find out what's behind your master's disappearance. Download here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/522470/The_House_of_Da_Vinci/

The finale to Anthology of Fear. My review: If I could give this game a ‘meh’ rating I would, but since it’s thumbs up or down, I’ve got to go with thumbs down. There is nothing scary about this game and definitely no ‘fear.’ I’m curious as to what other reviewers found so scary. The story is all over the place and eventually comes together in the end but it ends so abruptly, there’s no much resolution. I got this game on sale and I’d say wait til it hits the sub-$5 mark. –------------------------------------- Take part in a one-man investigation and solve the mystery of your brother’s disappearance.

This game had a few good ones, and one where I scared myself...

I enjoyed this creepy indie horror game. The developers also made From the Darkness (which I played recently), and Trapped. The setting is a house across the street, in which, not so long ago, lived an elderly lonely man, but he is no longer seen and the house lights no longer come on. You play as a curious 9 year old boy named 'Armin who was wondering what happened to his neighbor and one night he saw a light in the seemingly already abandoned house across the street. Without thinking long, he took a flashlight and went to investigate the sinister house in secret from his parents. Why did it feel as if someone was watching from a corner? Why do his eyes look so alive? Download the game here (currently 10% off): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1895890/9_Childs_Street/

"S.M.S" is a bizarre little horror experience... with a story inspired by the trash horror movies of the 80's and 90's. Based on horror tales from "Tales From the Crypt". After Chance's girlfriend leaves... he starts getting strange messages from her number. Forcing him to do some pretty weird things. I always enjoy 616 Games releases, but there's a lot of waiting around for things to happen. If they'd fix that, I think the games would be more enjoyable.
