SANGRA - Back to OG survival horror but with a modern gameplay style

Limited inventory, scarce ammo, finding keys, and puzzle solving - a classic survival horror experience with a modern over-the-shoulder perspective. SANGRA brings the timeless formula into the present without losing the essence of true survival horror.

The game is currently planned for release in 2026. The first demo includes a handgun, herbs, some combinable items, and a shotgun, though the shotgun can only be held and cannot used. As for enemies, there appears to be only one type, a glitchy zombie-like creature (I wonder if it's a place holder?) that likely represents the most common monster in the full game.

Mourning Tide - A Fishing Horror Game with unimaginable 'fishes'

Mourning Tide is a first person PSX style fishing game but combined with horror elements, developed by a small Czech team - Liquid Squid.

The game is about a guilt-ridden fisherman sails into forbidden waters. With each catch, echoes of his past rise to the surface. Unravel the truth, seek redemption’s light - or be claimed by the Mourning Tide.

The demo begins on a boat, at sea without any sign of shore or island. You head out and cast your fishing rod to begin fishing. Each type of fish has its own unique movement pattern, you’ll need to read their behavior and time your pulls to catch them. The fishing mechanics grow increasingly challenging, rewarding skill and adapting as you progress. Every fish demands a different strategy, pushing you to refine your approach.

Towards the end, it also introduces fish that pose a real challenge, new players may need several attempts to beat it. It ends with a “boss” encounter, where you catch the final fish and trigger a cutscene.

Personally, I'm exciting to see what kinds of monstrous creatures the developer might put into the sea in for the full release.

Who's at the Door - a scary "spot the anomaly" game based in a small house

Free-roaming “spot the anomaly” games have been gaining popularity recently. In these games, you need to carefully confirm whether you’ve truly encountered an anomaly before deciding how to act — making the wrong call can set back your progress. Who's at the Door really stands out to me, with its strange-looking characters, dark backstory for the protagonist, and unexpected creepy events that make it even scarier.

In the demo, you explore the house and check for any anomalous activity before making a decision to proceed. A wrong decision could get you jumpscared and send you back to Day 1. Survive until Day 9 to reach the ending.

The full game is planned for release in July 2025, and the demo is now available on Steam. Check out the link below to experience the horror for yourself.

Absolum - Roguelite beat 'em up with dynamic Power-up abilities

Absolum is a roguelite beat 'em up game developed by Dotemu, Guard Crush (they also developed Street of Rage 4), and Supamonks, bringing a new experience to the genre. The game offers both solo and co-op play (local or online), allow players to combine elemental powers and execute chained combos.

The demo features multiple boss fights across branching paths, offering over an hour of exploration to uncover all alternatives. It's quite challenging due to limited healing and the adventure's length, you'll need to play carefully to avoid trouble in boss fights. If you fall, you'll respawn at Uchawi's Hearth. Here, you can train, swap heroes, and upgrade your skills, but you'll be starting your adventure from the beginning.

Random power-ups are acquired throughout your run, meaning luck plays a significant role; finding abilities that align with your chosen path can significantly ease your journey.

45 minutes gameplay of the demo
