Alex Young is trapped in a mysterious mansion, with no idea how she got there, or how to get out — and also, everything looks like a PS1 game. If you miss the old-school style of horror games, you’ll likely be intrigued by this one, which is filled with puzzles, traps, and secrets to discover as you try to escape the mansion.
Made by a team of just two people, with Josie Brechner (Extreme Meatpunks Forever, Tiny Postcards) as composer, Tartarus Key promises that it’s a horror game with no jump scares — because the artist hates them, and “vowed to make a game that’s downright spooky without them.”
A PC demo is available during Steam’s Next Fest (October 1-7), and the game will come to Nintendo Switch in 2022.
