A supernatural detective mystery, FMV terror and other new indie games worth checking out

"This is a supernatural detective mystery game in which you investigate a woman's disappearance in 19th century Ireland. To solve the case, you'll have to interrogate suspects and keep track of environmental clues and other evidence. You'll encounter strange goings-on as you conduct the investigation amid a gathering of mystics who are looking to speak to the dead on All Hallow's Eve. The art style is quite fetching, and the vibes remind me of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and Blue Prince."

"The publication's video games editor, Keza MacDonald, wrote about spending a day in a theater playing what sounds like the ultimate pass-the-controller game with dozens of other people. The attendees were there to experience Asses.Masses, which is designed to be played collaboratively. The aim is to help a herd of unemployed donkeys get their jobs back. Audience members take turns to pick up the controller, and everyone else in the room can offer advice. It sounds like a fascinating social experiment."

Multiple new indie games released and showcased, including several survival horror titles and a game centered on a very good golden retriever. The Séance of Blake Manor is a supernatural detective mystery set in 19th-century Ireland where players investigate a woman's disappearance, interrogate suspects, track environmental clues, and navigate mystic gatherings on All Hallow's Eve; its art style evokes Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and Blue Prince. The Séance is available on Steam at a regular $20 price with a 10 percent discount until November 10. Asses.Masses is a collaborative pass-the-controller theater experience about unemployed donkeys. The Run is an FMV choose-your-own-adventure featuring a fitness influencer played by Roxanne McKee.
