Home – A Unique Horror Adventure Lets You Shape The Mystery
Home – A Unique Horror Adventure is a pixel-art horror mystery developed and published by BancyCo. You wake up in a house you don’t recognize during a storm. There’s no explanation for how you got there, so you begin searching for clues.
You explore rooms and examine objects to piece together the murder mystery. The decisions you make influence the story, but the consequences aren’t always obvious. You have to decide what you think happened.
Home originally came out in 2012, and a playthrough usually takes about an hour. There are multiple endings to uncover, so going back through the house can change how you understand the events.

Sker Ritual Sends Waves Of The Quiet Ones After You
Sker Ritual is a round-based horror shooter developed by Wales Interactive and published on Epic by Skybound Game Studios, Inc. It takes place in 1914, after Elisabeth Williams takes control of Sker Island. You join her daughter Arianwen to stop Elisabeth from broadcasting the Siren’s Song.
The Quiet Ones attack in rounds, and staying stocked with ammunition is important. The Laughing Policeman’s booths sell supplies, or you can try your luck with a random weapon. The SUPER CHARGER upgrades your guns for the tougher enemies.
Some enemies drop Miracles that offer a choice of three powers. You can improve your shooting or your healing, depending on what appears. The game supports up to four people online, and enemy waves adjust to the size of your group.
