Rumors speak of a fisherman who emerges from the sea at night to attack anyone who approaches the harbor. The cold storage room, which is supposed to be out of service, is locked and emits an unpleasant odor.

Is there a link between all of the horror movies in the game?

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

A lot of things have changed since the making of this trailer (gameplay and assets wise), but it still manages to capture the mood of our game REWIND and RECLAIM

All those games I posted in the last few days influenced, one way or another, the game I’m currently working on. A lot of things have changed since I started working on it two years ago. Haven't shared about it for a while, but hey, it's Halloween! #SteamScreamFest

Beyond Dark Castle (1987) by Silicon Beach Software Explore the castle, dungeons, forests, a clocktower, and defeat rats, snakes, executioners, and weird monsters. I loved the variety in scenery and challenges. Before that, the best looking game I had was a version of Chess!

Another World (1991) by @ericchahi.bsky.social First screen of the game a tentacle drowns you. If you make it to the next screen you get killed by a leech's bite, or eaten by a dog. It’s survival platformer adventure were you use a limited set of tools and your creativity to progress.

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Alone In The Dark (1992) by Infogrames It was such a unique game at the time it launched. Needless to say my young self didn’t understand what I was supposed to do, but I loved the simplicity and the mood of the game. Spend hours exploring the manor and dying.

021

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Haunting Starring Polterguy (1993) You play as a ghost who interact with its environment to haunt objects and scare a family. I loved trying out different objects in the environment to figure out how to puzzle them together to achieve your goals. Spooky!

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Dark Seed 2 (1995) by Cyberdreams Another weird FMV point and click. You explore a world full of nightmarish (and pixelated) sceneries to get your memory back and investigate your girlfriend’s murder. It’s like a proto Harvester but with some H.R. Giger’s artworks!

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Harvester (1996) by DigiFX Interactive Back then, we thought the future of video game graphics was digitalized pictures. In the golden age of FMVs, Harvester was one of my favorites with its awesome B movie vibes. You could attack every NPCs. Pretty unique for a point and click.

010

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

Blood (1997) by @monolithdev.bsky.social During the post Doom era, this game stood out with its theme, multiple nods to horror movies, and genuinely interesting gameplay. Some levels were quite revolutionary at the time. “OMG you play in a TRAIN!”

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Sanitarium (1998) by Dreamforge Intertainment : We’re in 98, I told a friend I like point and clicks, he gave me a CDRom with a dismal eye on it. I was expecting a Lucas Art-like game. Boy was I wrong. Dark, weird, moody, unsettling. I was shocked, and in love with it.

030

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Shadow Man (1999) by Acclaim Studios Teeside An action/ puzzle/ exploration/ platformer (like most games around 2000). I remember an industrial style cathedral, metroidvania mechanics, voodoo stuffs, the fight against Jack The Ripper... The game made a great impression on me at the time.

030

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

American McGee’s Alice (2000) from Rogue Entertainment The BEST adaptation of Alice in Wonderland (sequel is also great). The level design is mind blowing : rooms are warping, floors become ceilings, walls become platforms … Never find anything quite like it, and it’s 25 yo.

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Max Payne (2001) by @remedygames.com Not a horror game but some elements of it are, imho, reminiscent of the horror mood. The flash back sequence showing what happened to your family sets the tone for the rest of the game. Loved the B movie vibes.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Doom 3 (2004) by @id-software.bsky.social A decade after the OG, ID came back with a different proposition. The game took me by surprise for being more of a horror game than an action game (you have to choose between holding a light torch or a weapon). Also, great depictions of hell!

010

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Dead Rising (2006) by @capcomusa.com You play a journalist on a zombie outbreak. You get xp by taking pictures, and you can rescue people, and there is a sea of zombies, and your character progression carries when you die, and the quests are time based... Revolutionary!

031

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Left 4 Dead 2 (2009) by @valvesoftware.com Never felt this overwhelmed by waves of zombies before. It does capture the panic being chased by an unstoppable army of undying monsters pretty well. I will always remember the first time we encounter a witch and the entire team disolved in panic.

020

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Splatterhouse (2010) by BottleRocket A brutal and uninhibited game, with satisfying kills, a great soundtrack, and a simple but effective story. The game includes some nods to the previous installments. It's more on the pop side of horror, but it still counts.

130

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Dead Space 2 (2011) by Visceral Games A great sequel that perfected the formula of the first one. Exploring the ship full of different sceneries and grotesque creatures felt dangerous and rewarding. Again, the overall mood is what makes the game stick to me.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

The Darkness 2 (2012) by Digital Extremes Loved the visions of your dead girlfriend and how they blend in with the game. The mood of the psychiatric hospital serving as a hub was both creepy and comforting. The good and bad ending choice left me genuinely asking myself what was the best option.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

Bloodborne (2015) by FromSoftware The horror doesn't just come from the desolate atmosphere of Yharnam, the nightmarish monster designs, or the haunting soundtrack. It also comes from the terror of losing your progress after making significant headway in hostile territory.

Inside (2016) by @playdeadgames.bsky.social I absolutely love the mood of this game. Little to no UI, dialogues, nor texts, but the game manages to tell its story very efficiently. The sobriety is present in each aspect of the game and makes for a more focused and immersive experience.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

The Evil Within 2 (2017) by Tango Gameworks One of my favorite games in terms of monster design. It’s a great mix of creepy and beautiful, organic and mechanical, familiar and unexpected. The chase sequences, while being heavily scripted, are one of the best parts of the game imho.

010

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

Man Of Medan (2019) by @supermassivegames.bsky.social I don't usually go for interactive adventures with little gameplay, but I can make an exception if it's for a ghost ship story. The creepiest scenes were not the one with jumpscares or disturbing imagery. It's my favorite Supermassive game.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

Little Nightmare 2 (2021) by @tarsierstudios.bsky.social A cinematic platformer with an immersive and amazing mood. The gameplay itself is very simple but the experience is carried by the environment and the character design. I was always looking forward to the next events to unfold.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

World Of Horror (2023) by Panstasz A homage to both old school adventure game and Junji Ito in a detective roguelite rpg. Every run is unique and the graphics are amazingly unsettling. Nice replayability : I finished the game multiple times and there are still a lot of mysteries to uncover.

000

Jonathan Lorenz @jonathanlorenz.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

Look Outside by @frankiepixel.bsky.social A unique experience full of grotesque monsters and weird encounters. Gameplay is a mix of exploration, adventure, turn based combat and survival. All of this wraped in amazing art. A great game and a great inspiration source.
