This is more of a puzzle game than a horror game. Not a lot of scary scenarios or jumpscares but A LOT of puzzles. I would've preferred more of a horror game but this is fine too. So far it has a good story & nice graphics + some puzzles that are kicking my ass lol. You can try the game and leave a feedback for the dev not only if you are a fan of puzzle games/escape rooms but also to support indie devs! From Steam:" A first-person atmospheric horror-puzzle game that focuses on the narrative to tie together the gruesome world with creative puzzles. Explore the mind of a twisted serial killer who wants nothing else than to show his work of art as well as tell his story to the world. As the moonlight dances slowly across your room, your pseudo-sleep is disrupted by a metal squeak from your letter box down the hall. Someone just left a handwritten note, an invitation. This is an invitation to one of the most exclusive and imaginative art displays. Not only is it an invitation but also an opportunity to show off your own credentials as an artist. Come join us and be part of the creation of something astonishing! Help us redefine and explore the concept of art. While this might understandably turn you a bit skeptical, just know that we’ve done a great amount of research and handpicked only a few individuals that fit our distinct criteria. You are one of those lucky few. Think about it for a moment; what do you actually have to lose? This is an opportunity for you to immortalize yourself among others in the world of art, the last chance to get out of your dreadful life and be part of something bigger." The last sentence hits hard as you think about the recent events of your life. The invitation is oddly intriguing. Partum Artifex is mainly a puzzle game with an emphasis on story and atmosphere. Throughout the game, you'll be challenged with solving puzzles directly connected to the twisted works and mind of a serial killer. In order to progress you need to put yourself in the killer's shoes, and think like him in order to solve the puzzles. Willingly or not, he wants you to help him finish his magnum opus. By exploration, reading, taking notes, finding items and paying attention to the environment, you'll be able to piece together what happened in this eerie house and what the serial killer is trying to achieve with it. The more you dive into the mind of the killer, the more you'll discover things that are better off being hidden away. Sometimes the truth is better left shrouded in ignorance. Engaging Story: Partum Artifex offers an engaging story that delves into the mind of a serial killer whose main way of expressing himself is through art. Through the game, you'll learn not only why he's doing his deeds but also how it came to be. Immersive Environments: The game takes place on a property far from civilization, deep inside a murky forest. Every detail has been meticulously added to create a realistic environment in order for the players to immerse themselves and encourage exploration. Heavy Atmosphere: From eerie hallways to rooms filled with photos of the dead, Partum Artifex makes sure that you don't know what will happen next. Together with an incredible soundscape, it makes it easy to imagine the worst lurking in the shadows. Intriguing Puzzles: Each puzzle in the game tells its own story related to the serial killer. With the later use of various tools, the world truly reveals the mind behind the murders as his rambling writings become unredacted. Please, why don't you join me and be part of the creation?"

I can't say that I found something special with this game, but it's an indie dev so I appreciate the work. The atmosphere is ok, the graphics are ok too, but some puzzles were repetitive, sounds are kinda loud and I guess some of the bugs from the first day were patched.

A new horror came out today and I have to say that it is full of puzzles and jumpscares. For a couple of dollars you can have this game that offers a good couple of hours of gameplay. This game's graphics are ok, sounds are good, the atmosphere is really nice, there is a story about a haunted Moroccan Castle and it seems that the game is over 1-2 hours long (including time you spend on puzzles). Found only some super minor bugs and didn't find any performance issues.

Take care of the horses, escape or die. Actually... even if you escape, eventually you are going to die, the game finds a way lol. Only managed to find 4 endings for this game and there are 7 in total. The game does not tell you much, just to do your chores and be a good boy. Can't really categorize this as a horror, although I got scared once lol. I recommend this game for the fans of puzzle, retro and exploration games.

"Paranoid is a horror that tells the story of Patrick who has been living in isolation from the outside world for many years. One day he receives a phone call from his sister, who announces her visit more than a dozen years after she disappeared.

This game is just a couple of dollars and will give you a couple of hours of gameplay. The graphics are really good, the atmosphere is nice, has a lot of jumpscares, a story, some drama and a lot of searching. It's really just cheap compared to what this game offers. I've really enjoyed it as a horror game and aside from some crashes I recommend this game!

Imagine being a house sitter at an apparently haunted house and your employer won't believe that spooky things happen in there so he eventually installs cameras lol. So every night you have to do all your chores before 6 AM, dodge that spooky ghost and optionally find some tapes that I forgot about because I replayed some nights a couple of times and the times I finished the night I always forgot about them... All in all this was a fun game until the last mission where I spent like 1 hour because of some bugs... The graphics are ok, the sounds are a little weird and atmosphere is good. The price is really cheap on this game so try it and leave a feedback for the dev!
