About these games

Alien: Isolation

Alien: Isolation is a survival horror game set in an atmosphere of constant dread and mortal danger. Fifteen years after the events of Alien, Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda fights desperately for survival to uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance. As a Weyland-Yutani employee, she travels to Sevastopol, a remote trading station where the flight recorder of the Nostromo was found. Players move through an increasingly volatile world, facing a panicked population and an unpredictable Alien, scavenging resources, crafting items and hacking systems to stay alive.

Phantaruk

Phantaruk blends survival horror with adventure and stealth mechanics. You board the Purity-02, the prime complex of the H+ Corporation, which pursues the transhumanist dream of a post-human organism stripped of humanity’s biological weaknesses. The research vessel has turned into a deadly, deserted trap, and you must investigate its mysteries in order to flee it. All the while you fight a parasite that keeps emitting toxins to destroy you from the inside, and you evade a beast known from long-forgotten fables and ancient myths that prowls the ship and may lurk in any shadow or behind any corner.

SCP: Fragmented Minds

A first-person survival horror game with action elements, set in the decaying Site-113 on Mars, a facility belonging to the SCP Foundation. The player moves through separate zones of varying danger, hacking, welding and parkouring while alternating between stealth and combat. Weapons and the SCPs themselves can be turned against hostile anomalies, and choices carry consequences that shape which paths become available. The game contains intense violence and graphic gore.

ROUTINE

ROUTINE is a first-person sci-fi horror game set on an abandoned lunar base built around an 80s vision of the future. The player explores decaying living quarters, tram stations and a deserted shopping mall, searching for clues about what happened there. There are no waypoint markers, so the player must find the route by observing the surroundings and reviewing data on terminals. Using the Cosmonaut Assistance Tool (C.A.T.) to open terminals and identify clues, the player can run, hide or fight unknown threats, with the C.A.T. reserved as a last resort.

SOMA

Sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, creators of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, set below the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The underwater facility PATHOS-II has endured unbearable isolation, the radio is dead, food is running out, and the machines have started to believe they are people. The player explores locked terminals and secret documents, seeks the last remaining inhabitants and makes tough decisions that shape the station's fate. They face corrupted humans, twisted creatures, insane robots and an inscrutable omnipresent A.I.; since there is no fighting back, they must outsmart their enemies or run.

Mouthwashing

Mouthwashing is an indie horror adventure told from a first-person view, following the dying crew of the shipwrecked space freighter Tulpar. Five crew members are stranded in empty space under a permanent sunset, with zero chance of rescue. Captain Curly, who tried to take his own life and wanted his crew to die with him, survives maimed, limbless and unable to speak, and now depends on the mercy of those he doomed. Players follow the crew as they endure starvation, isolation and each other, while the ship's power runs out within six months and food sooner.
