4 short horror games from different authors and in different genres. Each game is an author's vision on the theme of 'pursuit'.
The anthology offers a diverse range of horror-themed gameplay experiences, with each title presenting its own unique mechanics and style. While the overall quality varies, the collection showcases the developers' creativity and willingness to experiment within the genre.
This game captivates players with its engrossing gameplay loop. As a homeowner during a heatwave, you must carefully observe your visitors' behaviors and physical traits, using information from news reports to identify which are genuine survivors and which are sinister "visitors" (a chilling take on skinwalkers). This creates a palpable sense of paranoia, as you must make difficult decisions about who to let in or turn away, with the potential for multiple playthroughs and varied outcomes.
Offering a unique twist on horror, this game presents a cartoonish, puzzle-based experience. Players control a cat protagonist who must navigate a tower filled with obstacles and enemies, rearranging the panels of a comic strip to create a safe path. The puzzles start simple but gradually increase in complexity, requiring creative thinking and experimentation. The charming visuals and the cat's expressive animations add to the game's appeal, while the occasional horror elements provide a compelling contrast.
While not as well-received as the previous two, these games still offer interesting gameplay experiences. "Sensation" blends visual novel elements with a hidden object game, challenging players to find specific items on the screen to progress the story of a reporter chasing a famous actress. The game's unique mechanics, where the camera slowly pans across the screen, add an extra layer of tension and challenge. "I ate old man's liver" is a more experimental and absurdist experience, featuring a surreal narrative and gameplay that involves controlling a sled as an elderly man navigates a strange, dreamlike world.
