Dead Format is a masterclass in psychological dread, a game that understands that true horror comes not from jump scares, but from sustained, oppressive atmosphere. The core fantasy here is pure, desperate survival against unseen threats and the crumbling reality of your surroundings. You are thrust into a massive, non linear corporate complex that feels both sterile and deeply corrupted, forcing you to constantly manage resources, from precious ammunition to flickering light sources, simply to maintain a basic hold on sanity.

Cardiac is a quirky, surreal Halloween-themed horror game in which you control a large, beefy heart that shoots out tendrils like the protagonist CARRION a bit like Spider-Man’s web, but a lot more hideous. Despite their strange modes of movement, they are fairly easy to handle: just press the right mouse button to release and lock the tendrils, and then press the left mouse button to start moving forward. In every area of the game, your goal is usually to simply reach the end goal, which isn’t too hard, but the scenery and the odd movement method make for a very interesting and unique experience. Each new location in Cardiac is an incredible sight, full of surreal sights and grotesque beauty. It’s a strange, black-and-white nightmarish world made of flesh, steel, and bone, a place that’s perfect for your weird, monstrous, mustache-like heart, though it never manages to find a home.
