short horror with heavy inspiration from Control's FMV & title card stylings, and some really standout audio.

once again, scotland ruins it for humanity.

Pep's Season of Spooks - Game 4
A short but very memorable walking sim/horror that's over far too soon. Despite the lack of any actual scares the oppressive atmosphere more than makes up for it. Striking visuals, psychadelic colours and excellent sound design make me wish that the creators would expand this into a fuller experience.
Scary Rating 2/10 - Overall Rating 7/10

Very short game, but with some highly striking scenes and concepts, I would love to see a longform game of this ilk.

a game with incredible vibes that fits every stupid video gamey adventure game trope within 30 minutes. the camera work rules though and it made me smile quite a bit. every time some text popped up on screen it had me like YOOOOO
