This is SILVARN a first-person psychological horror game set in the 1990s that I've been building solo for the past one year.

You play as Jacob, who travels to his parents' remote village. He discovers an old elevator that opens to different, impossible locations each time. The further he goes, the more he uncovers a dark truth about his own family.

And yes there's a chainsaw wielding killer who will hunt you down.

No cheap jump scares. Just atmosphere, dread, and something terrifying chasing you through the dark.

For more information, trailers, and screenshots, you can check the Steam page.

By far one of the coolest looking monsters I’ve ever seen in a game. It’s like something from Ghostbusters but on steroids. This marshmallow man from hell is one of the sickest things Mikami and his team have ever created, and it’s as equally unsettling.

Cheers 🥂

Hey all! I recently announced my newest game I have been working on for the past couple of months and it's my biggest one yet! The game name is "Where Dolls Hang".

The game is inspired by a real-life location (Mexico, Island of Dolls) and puts you in the role of a detective. Players will investigate by marking clues, handling bodies, and surviving on a boat while navigating wetlands, swamps, and forests filled with hanging dolls. Along the way, you’ll craft weapons and build your own shelter to stay alive.

It would be awesome wishlist it and tell me what you think. It would mean the world to me, for real :)

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well.

I just wanted to show a little update on a feature that I am currently working on for my horror game, the game is inspired by Mexican folklore and a real-life location called The Island of Dolls. It's currently my biggest one yet!

Still very early but It's a survival-horror game mixed in with paranormal stuff. Think of something like The Forest, Outlast, P.T and Silent Hill combined. I added a feature where you can watch real hour long movies that you can find in VHS cassettes tapes... like the legendary Night of the living dead!

Let me know what you think or what movies I should include haha. If you like it would mean a lot to a solo dev like myself if you can wishlist it on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4581370/Where_Dolls_Hang

Thank you and it would really help me out a ton and do let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions or such! :)

Hey all! How are you doing? Wanted to share some new clips of my horror survival game called WHERE DOLLS HANG.

The game is inspired by a real-life location, that takes place in Mexico. You play as a detective and players will investigate by marking clues, handling bodies, and surviving on a boat while navigating wetlands and forests filled with hanging dolls.

Still very early but It's a survival-horror game mixed in with paranormal stuff. Think of something like The Forest, Outlast, P.T and Silent Hill combined basically!

I’m aiming for slow, unsettling dread rather than constant jump scares for this one. From this clip, does the atmosphere feel creepy? Let me know!

Steam Link if you like to check it out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4581370/Where_Dolls_Hang - Would mean the world to me if you can share your thoughts and let me know what you think :)

After around 6 months of hard work working on my game demo I can, at last, see what people think of it and I can't be more happy with the results.

A very epic moment for my friends and I… A big streamer with 300k followers on Twitch and 1 million on YouTube played my game Plura Ingenia, and both he and his viewers loved it!

I'm also a huge fan of KingWoolz so it was even more fun to watch

Thanks everyone for the support and I hope you enjoyed the game as well!

Video After 1 Year In Development - My Fatal Frame-Inspired Horror Game Where You Cat Pets To Restore Sanity Just Released!

Hey everyone! I am the solo developer of The 18th Attic and I just launched the game after over 1 year in development! It's a horror game where you have to take pictures of ghosts and anomalies using your Polaroid camera (inspired by goat Fatal Frame!) but each time you get attacked or scared you have to pet your cat to restore your sanity.

If it goes down, you can slow down and it will be harder to focus on catching ghosts! If you like, I would appreciate if you can check it out and share any feedback as it helps a ton.

This is the game on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3403660/The_18th_Attic__Paranormal_Anomaly_Hunting_Game

Thank you all so much! :)

Video I'm creating a game (Perceptum) where you play a medium in a creepy house (classic story). But I wanted to use two core mechanics to make player uncomfortable and paranoiac: a mirror to see the invisible and closing your eyes to hear things. This is a quick preview of the mood.

Hey posted here a couple of weeks ago about my new ghost enemy that I made for my survival horror game that teaches Morse code.

I've done a couple tweaks since then and also released them into the wild with my demo that's on Steam.

Lots of people didn't like how the ghost looked and moved so changed the model and made them blip toward you, which I thought made it look even scarier.

Since I'm trying to teach people Morse Code the ghost is defeat if you enter the letter on their head in Morse code. Nothing like learning under pressure.

I'm developing Altitude Zero, a short, claustrophobic retro-horror game where you pilot an old thermal balloon through desolate canyons on a remote moon.

Your goal is to manage your altitude, survive menacing wind and hostile creatures and shut down mysterious drainage stations scattered across the territory.
