You play as a historical consultant for the latest film by a maverick director, who is filming on location at Ashgate University. I can't believe I didn't add Old Gods Rising to this list ages ago, since it's a fabulously unsettling game that stuck both in the mind and the craw, and is one of a tiny handful of Lovecraftian games that doesn't become achingly unsubtle. What else should I be playing: This has a lot more in common with something like Draugen, or even Everybody's Gone To The Rapture (which I consider pretty horrifying) in that the horror is largely drawn from the absence of people from a place they definitely should be, but are not. Old Gods Rising Where can I buy it: Steam As with Little Nightmares, monsters are very close to home. In the first game the hazards are uncanny grownups, but here there are enemies that are more straightforwardly authority figures (like a Teacher with a long, snaking neck), or school bullies, or just unsettling metaphor - gangs of faceless, TV-addicted adults forming mobs. You're also joined by Six, the protagonist of Little Nightmares, though at this stage she's a bit less confident, and you have to work together to survive this grim, rainy world. In Little Nightmares 2 you play as Mono, a boy with a paper bag on his head, and nightmares about a tall man and television screens inside that head. It's taken a while, and some replaying, to acknowledge that actually it's probably better than the original - more polished, a more confident atmosphere, and better developed baddies. Little Nightmares 2 is a fantastic follow up to the first Little Nightmares, as well as being a prequel (no spoilers!). Others that spring to mind are Limbo and Inside, similar side-scrolling childhood creepshows.
