Sub Terra takes a simple underground maintenance assignment and gradually twists it into an unnerving psychological horror experience. Developed and published by artescape, the game casts you as an experienced maintenance worker sent roughly 50 feet beneath the city to investigate and repair a damaged water line in tunnel 04-R. At first, there is nothing extraordinary about the job, but the deeper the protagonist travels, the more the familiar utility network begins to feel unnatural. This grounded setup gives the horror an effective foundation because the player enters the tunnels expecting routine work rather than immediately being thrown into an obviously supernatural situation. Much of the experience revolves around atmosphere and exploration. The underground passages are constructed with a realistic industrial appearance, combining concrete corridors, pipes, utility equipment, confined rooms, and poorly illuminated spaces. There is a noticeable influence from liminal-space and Backrooms-style horror, particularly in the way ordinary architecture can become disturbing through repetition, isolation, and subtle environmental changes. The fact that the protagonist is supposedly f…

Enjoyed that seeing as it was the developers first game. I hit 1 bug which killed me...it was my fault to be honest LOL....at one stage the monster was just sitting there doing nothing, not moving...so i walked from a distance to get a closer look....the moinsters head was stuck in the wall....so i figured ohh a bug now i can finish in peace and quiet....so i went in for a closer look to see if ireally was stuck due to a bug....DAMN it took its out the wall and got me and kileld me... took me 3 attempts to find the hammer while being cchased and make it to the lift... :) Nice free horror game enjoyed it. The game of cat and mouse in the winding tunnels was interesting. Why wasnt this game able to be full screen though? In settings on main menu you can select full screen, window full screen but makes no difference, you still end up with black bars either side. I think maybe this was the developers intention for the black bars to add to the effect to make it look retro...maybe? No isuses all good. The horror parts were good especially when returning to the house with the creepy statues and crosses. I liked it. Tense and scary for me. 7/10. The task at hand was prett…

not bad for a first game. The loading times are decent, this game does need to be more optimized as I did experience lag in some areas. short game, subpar story line, sadly there's no mystery in this game and it mostly will show all of its plotline very obviously.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
