A collection of four games by Kitty Horrorshow, but only two are really "horror." Gloompuke is not scary at all, but it is a very warm, comforting little experience, involving wandering around a strange world and talking to its fun inhabitants. Roads is another very calming one, where you walk around a small world of towers and floating roads, reading a short story about two lovers.

As for the horror games, Monastery is at times obtuse and difficult to progress, but the gradual escalation of the grim and tense atmosphere more than makes up for that. Scarlet Bough seems blatantly inspired by Silent Hill (I mean even the names sound alike), and it's pretty good.
