Sweet 🤘 I'm looking forward to it!

Ok after a quick google, FAITH's art style looks really cool!! I'll add it to my list, thanks for the recommendation @nscottg.bsky.social ! 🤘😁

I LOVED Slay the Princess, sadly I don't think I could replay it and have the same experience (considering I know all the spoilers lol) , but I haven't heard of FAITH, I'll look it up !

From the creator of Lorn's Lure and set in the same world, comes a really atmospheric demo that is perfect to set off your Megalophobia 😄

Definitely looking forward to the full release!
Big thanks to @rubeki.bsky.social for such interesting world building!

It's been awhile since I posted some good Ol' indie horror game goodness, honestly I have a huge backlog of recordings that I just have not had the time to edit in the past two weeks 😢

But fear not it's time to get back to it with some scares, chills and maybe a few shivers 💀😉

Absolutely incredible game demo of One-Eyed Likho

This has a really cool monochrome aesthetic and has the unique twist of taking place in a dark Slavic folklore filled world!

Full release on July 28th!

The first Steam NextFest demo I played, Giggleland or Terry's Vegetable Patch had me hooked with the trailers they made (full on cartoons, seriously check out their steam page), which also seems to be an ARG?!

The demo did not disappoint! 😄

Now that Steam Next Fest has been over for about a week, I've been busy editing and thought at first to make a single video with all my demo playthroughs, but honestly this year has some really strong indie horror candidates, so I'll be making individual videos for my favorites instead!

Fun horror game about working a maintenance job at a library where the owner is not suspicious at all...

Brevsky's Library isn't all it seems... 💀

the tech demo absolutely blew me away, honestly imo its almost worth upgrading my setup for this game alone 😂

Honorable mentions:
Sadly encountered game-breaking bugs in both games, but conceptually promising games:

Fire in the dark:
Premise of going in and out of a videogame, slightly reminiscent of Slender the eight pages!

Sanity Loops:
A Fears to Fathom type of game in a food truck!

Quinntessential @quinnofengland.bsky.social · Jun 15

Tormented Souls 2
Survival horror game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve, the changing camera angles are not for me personally, but if you enjoy that type of gameplay this game does survival horror quite well. A few janky enemies, but has a lot of potential!

Quinntessential @quinnofengland.bsky.social · Jun 15

MEGANAUT
From the creator of Lorn's Lure, this megalophobia inducing exploration game has a lot of potential and really nails the atmosphere of a abandoned megastructure in space. I'm really looking forward to seeing the full release.

Quinntessential @quinnofengland.bsky.social · Jun 15

THEM
Castlevania platformer meets 1st person horror, this game seems really polished and I'm very curious to see what the full release has in store. The full game comes out this week so definitely keep an eye out for it!

Quinntessential @quinnofengland.bsky.social · Jun 15

HLÍNA
Really cool art style made of handmade clay that works well with the top down gameplay. Sadly an incredibly short demo <5min and the full game would need MUCH more content to justify playing it. I do love the vision however and hope the full release turns out great!

Quinntessential @quinnofengland.bsky.social · Jun 15

One-Eyed Likho:
This game features an incredibly unique art style which pairs perfectly with the slavic fairytale story that the game tries to tell. The demo makes me think we will also see horror takes on other mythologies and I am excited to see what it has in store upon full release!

Quinntessential @quinnofengland.bsky.social · Jun 15

GiggleLand a.k.a Terry's Vegetable Patch :
The newest mascot horror/ARG to grace the indie horror community, the demo was scary and interesting enough that I would want to check out the full game upon release! Some areas dragged a little, but hopefully the full game has a more compact structure.

Just finished playing the #indiehorrorgame demos I found interesting in Steam NextFest.

To save you some time, here are my thoughts on them so you can see if you want to play them yourself when they release!

I'll be posting a video with my full thoughts later this week!
🧵

P.s: Happy Father's Day!

Definetly need to give crow country a shot at some point, Signalis is probably one of my favorite survival horror games to date 😍

What if the "As seen on TV" Clapper from the 90s was a horror game?

Had a blast playing this unique game, thank you @victoriaspongecake.bsky.social for the recommendation!!
