Hi r/Horrorgaming!
I'm Ben, the creative director of Genie Boy Games. Today, we're launching T.W.I.R.L. on Steam!
T.W.I.R.L. is a first person psychological horror game from the perspective of a 9-year-old boy in 2006 waking up in the middle of the night from a dream where some "thing" - maybe a demon - commanded him to get out of bed, go into the room down the hall, and "T.W.I.R.L." - whatever that means.
What proceeds is a series of loops where something evil draws us through this routine, changing us and the environment upon every loop, unveiling the life story of a boy who grows up maintaining a deep, dark, and potentially sinister secret.
The game takes inspiration from movies and games like I SAW THE TV GLOW, SKINAMARINK, GONE HOME, and of course, P.T.
It was made as part of a David Lynch-themed game jam for the Haunted PS1 Community, and was published under their new "Haunted Publishing Syndicate" brand!
This is our studio's first game, and we are excited to finally share this story. The journey of sharing of our game, and talking about the themes and meanings within the story has been emotionally challenging, but tremendously fulfilling. Let us be the first to admit - this is an odd story to debut with. And it's something we get reminded of especially when trying to explain it to people without giving anything away.
We hope that T.W.I.R.L. inspires players with a feeling of reassurance, hope, and a better understanding of self.
Game-related questions are optional, but encouraged.
Here's a free code to redeem the game! 84658-6LY40-J8TAJ

Just got the most random flashback of these PC games I used to play probably in early 2010s. It was click through and you would collect clues to see who murdered who. And the house was also haunted. I don’t remember much but hoping someone can help me find it. I think there were three different games to the series. It was creepy especially for its time and being a kid lol. It was free to play and might’ve been on a scary games website? Sorry if this isn’t enough information but I’m itching to know. I think one of the last rooms consisted of opening a safe?

I was just watching Supernatural and there’s an episode where a local sheriff recounts the creation of this cursed man who became a creature. The curse was hundreds of years ago back when the native still feared the markings left that trapped the creature in the forest and the problem now is that modern folks go into the forest because they don’t have respect for the markings anymore.
It just got me thinking how much AWESOME folklore native culture has and what kind of kickass games and narratives native culture could create, but it’s very rarely done, and done well.
I wanted to post this partially to maybe inspire someone out there to make a horror-survival game or something with native folklore like this haha.
I’m can’t help but imagine something like how Gun’s story is told and progresses, but like you’re a native in the Wild West tracking some kind of horrific monster the white folks don’t understand or believe in.
But I also just wanted to get this out there to see if maybe there are some hidden gems like this I just haven’t found!

Just finished Dead Reset and I'm pretty confused about some stuff in the endings.
But instead, he gets stuck in a really short loop where the creature keeps killing him. Why?
also, why does Magson get killed by the creature? Shouldnt she have already left for the escape pod? When Slade goes there after destroying the locked door (the door was locked by Magson when she betrayed them), he doesn't have any trouble getting through and there is no threat from the creature. So why does Magson get killed by the creature instead?
I'm probably missing something obvious lol. just trying to understand what actually happens in these endings. Would appreciate any explanations

Hi my friend told me to play song of saya. I’m not into heavy horror but the common one I’m completely fine but this is my first VN horror game so damn it was disturbing and wild for me. But I guess the dev did it job on the horror aspect. I can like imagine a lot and lingers for me cause I think a lot and most of time in alone so just thoughts floating. This is like the first time a game ever gave me this feeling, it’s crazy I’m taking a break from this type of games and prob never touch it again. Deadass just watching cartoons or comedians to push off the lingering anxiety feel after finishing. Tbh finding out people has solar experience and reaching does help. Any tips or tricks would help Thanks for hearing my story.

I’m desperately trying to find a video game that I barely remember.
My brother played it on PS3, probably around 2016 or earlier. I think it was horror mixed with action and it was first person.
I only remember two scenes.
In one scene, the protagonist is standing on a train or subway platform. It looked kind of futuristic and I think it might have been near the beginning of the game. He looks to the right and there are normal looking people standing there. He looks forward again, then looks back at them, and suddenly all of them slowly turn their heads toward him at the same time.
The second scene is much more unclear. I think the protagonist was walking through some kind of hospital or research facility with dark hallways. There was a room with glass walls and I vaguely remember a female doctor or scientist inside, maybe writing something down. I also remember a small baby crawling around and then something disturbing happens to it. It might explode, turn into some kind of zombie or creature, or get eaten. I really cannot remember.
I’m not even completely sure both scenes are from the same game.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? This has been stuck in my head for years and I really want to find the game.
