Horror Showcase Recap – July 10 – July 22

Hello, my friends, I am back with a brand new Showcase Recap after a short break. It was a much-needed break due to IRL things. Some good, some bad, some boring, but I have some exciting news that you’ll hear about soon. I hope you’ll like it.

I’d like to start this recap with thanks to my supporters over at Ko-Fi who helped me pay for this year’s domain so this website can keep existing: Whit, Neil Bolt, Ruedefaux, Normanbatesjr, Artur, PrettyGrim, Akuma Kira, Cort Welch, Court.
If you enjoy my curation and would like to help make things easier for this random immigrant who’s still trying to get a foothold in Europe, feel free to chip in using this link.

As for me and my projects, there are some things that I can’t share yet, but they are pretty big and exciting. However, there is something I can share. I started leaning more toward my video game curation, both old and new. I reactivated my Steam Curator Page with new recommendations. I’ll add more. If you are an indie dev, feel free to pass me a key. I don’t share negative reviews. If I’m not interested or I don’t like a game, I simply don’t review it and don’t give it a place on my page instead.

I started making curation threads on Twitter and Tumblr, giving objective and surface information about both old and new games. I also turn these into short-form videos and share them on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok. Your support on those platforms is greatly appreciated.

Now that those are out of the way, we can proceed with the showcase. These past few weeks have been crazy for horror gaming and while we had some exciting news and trailers from known franchises, the indie scene has been flourishing with new releases, reveals, and project updates. Let’s take a look at the latest Horror Showcase recap and see what our incredibly talented developers are working on.
