The Horror Game Awards Rounds up a Selection of New Titles in Its January Showcase [Video]

Sony weren’t the only ones dropping trailers for new and upcoming titles yesterday. The Horror Game Awards had their first showcase stream, highlighting recently released horror titles from January, with special messages from some of the developers themselves.

Here’s a sampling of the showcased games, along with their trailers. You can also check out the full stream below.

Available now on Steam, One Trick Entertainment’s Lempo is a psychological horror game inspired by Finnish mythology. You play as Paul, a casual 9 to 5 guy who becomes lost in Metsänpeitto, a term in Finnish folklore which refers to the belief that the forest could hide or imprison people. Uncover stories of people who were trapped before you. Make use of what items you come across to find out what’s happening and escape before the forest consumes you.

Third-person survival horror game Despair: Blood Curse hit Steam last month, and centres on non-linear gameplay, puzzles, and enemies from the depths of hell. When Anna’s mother passes away from a sudden illness, she receives a worrying letter from her sister suggesting that not all is as it seems. Will she uncover the truth?

Disappearance – Takeshi is a first-person horror-comedy game in which you search an abandoned Japanese village for your missing best friend. The game is described as having “violent and immoral content” by developer HAZECODE.

Developers David and John Szymanski are back at it again, this time with The Pony Factory. The bizarre concept has a man named Winston, who thought he could use heavy machinery and power from the depths of hell to transform sinful men into magic ponies. This obviously didn’t turn out the way he wanted.

Fading Club’s Psychopomp is a short psychological horror dungeon crawler that has you exploring catacombs under every home and building, stretching down for miles. Something calls you deeper into the labyrinth. Delve into the depths, and discover the monstrosities below.

Nimbus Games’ [Chiyo] is described as a first-person hardcore escape room horror game. Set in Japan’s Edo era, you are Idate Chiyo, a paranormal investigator possessing supernatural abilities. You are tasked with investigating an abandoned mansion, uncovering a family’s dark history and it’s ultimate secret.

For those with a itch for throwback PS1-era graphics, you have Plastomorphosis by VidyGames. You play as an ordinary citizen who was evacuated to Modern-City, due to dangerous bursts of dark energy. You must now try to overcome and survive a series of events in a new reality, where living as a human being is not possible anymore.

Night Signal Entertainment’s Home Safety Hotline (which Aaron reviewed recently) also got a shout out. Working at a call centre, you are tasked with assisting callers about their questions about what pests are inside their home. Of course, you could always just hang up and leave them to their problems. But as you might expect, regardless of your actions (or inaction), you will be held responsible for what happens.

Steelkrill Studio’s recently-released cosmic horror game Rotten Flesh was also included in the lineup. You have just lost your dog Roy in the sewers, and you need to find him. Making use of your microphone, you need to shout for Roy, who will bark in response to help you pinpoint his location. Be aware that you two aren’t the only ones down in the sewer.

 

Max Rohrberg‘s Drive Me To Hell is a driving horror game where as you set out for home, an unsettling occurrence takes place on the road. Race through eerie landscapes, confronting ghostly visions, and evade demonic obstacles. The question is, will this lead you to hell? Discover the truth in the game’s PS1-styled graphics.
