An upcoming survival-horror/immersive-sim from the studio that brought you Heliophobia and many more. Still in early development. Feel free to wishlist and check back here soon for much more!
Features:
- Immersive World – Go anywhere, climb anything, and interact with just about any object you come across.
- Horrific Encounters – Utilize stealth to avoid powerful demonic pursuers, or face them head-on with a wide array of guns and melee weapons.
- Player Freedom – Instead of being railroaded in to a linear story, players can fully explore the world at will. Choose where to go and what to do, on your own terms.
- Arcane Transmutation – Perform dark rituals to break down items in to base materials. Use these materials to transmute completely new items.
- Secrets Around Every Corner – Find hidden loot, shortcuts, lore, and numerous secrets in every nook and cranny. Exploration is rewarded, but not required.
- Multiple Objectives – Stick to the main story, or break off to complete optional objectives that will aid you along the way

THE INDIE IMMSIM REVOLUTION CONTINUES!!!!!!
The opposite of a mile wide and an inch deep. Loved every second.

Most of the game plays similarly to Granny or the early part of Resident Evil 7. Combat is very limited as you are instead hunted by an unkillable zombie while trapped in a small map for most of the game. It really didn't appeal to me but the aesthetic of the game is amazing, as is its soundtrack, voice acting, and atmosphere. What an underappreciated gem.

Great horror Imm-Sim, lots of viable ways to get through the game, there's even some nasty skips (I got clipped through a wall by a monster and skipped a quarter of the game, then I jumped from a bridge and skipped another one. Standing on top of cars is a bit OP though.

Neat little imp sim, survival horror experiment. Short but fairly well executed. Be aware that there is some jank and the the game does have a very "default unity engine" aesthetic; all shiny plastic surfaces with crispy normal maps. And it does feel like it has been cobbled together from various store bought assets.

This game is good. It's a short horror-themed immersive sim, but on a very small budget.
I finished a first playthrough in around 2.8 hours. I died a lot since I tend to play these types of games pretty recklessly.
There were a few times I got stuck for a short period, and a few puzzles it took me a while to figure out, but nothing annoyingly obtuse. I didn't have to look up a walkthrough on YouTube at all.
Progression felt pretty smooth overall, and it was usually pretty logical what to do next.
Areas are fairly small, but also fairly dense with smaller areas to explore or move through. There's a bit of nice inter-connectivity between a couple areas.
For a very small team, this is a good game. It encourages more runs through the game, offering various rewards for meeting challenges.
I haven't started a second run yet, so I'm not sure how much changes, if anything. I'm sure it's not SaGa Emerald Beyond levels of wildly different outcomes in subsequent playthroughs, but I wouldn't expect that.
While I liked the developer's earlier game Heliophobia and also recommend that one, Ad Infernum is more mechanically dense, although also a bit smaller in scope.
It would be interesting to see what the developer could do with a decent budget, because this is already very solid and a worthwhile experience.

Interesting game about exploring an abandoned gas station, getting chased by a guy covered in flies, and then turns out you were being radioed by a biblically accurate angel the entire time. Story is confusing other than the fact you're supposedly checking out a vast underground system place thing under the gas station itself. It's whatever, as said, interesting and cool game. (Pro Tip: when using your inventory, you can see your objectives on the left)

A short and sweet survival horror/immersive sim hybrid. Think Eternal Darkness meets System Shock but in an abandoned gas station. There is a fair bit of jank and some issues with microstuttering, but once I got my bearings I had a very good time with this.
