for a indie Dev that wants to explore making games themselves this is pretty cool for them to experiment and learn from. The project is on Fab.com for 30 ish AUD. and that is a small entry point for new creators.

A really interesting and neat way for people to make their own horror game without the stress of learning how to code. :D
Recommended Feb 9, 2025
It is exactly as portrayed in the description. A demonstration of the Horror Engine which is an entirely Blueprint based set off tools for making horror games using the Unreal Engine. There is (or was) a free version of it on the Unreal Marketplace and it is a good starting point. The creator also has a series of tutorial videos on his channel which are a useful starting point. If you like it and would use it in an indie game project I recommend buying the Supporter Edition which is very cheap for small indies. It's basically giving you a full base game you can build on, even if you know very little about coding. Playing it as a free game will give you a short escape room experience with okay puzzles, a strange story and some cool Achievements. However the sounds and voice lines are horrible, at least for my ears. The constant talking of the protagonist ("What is going on?"), the alarm sound and the rest of the high pitched sounds.. So, a great toolset and a less than great short game.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
