Genre: Rouge-Like,
Platforms: PC, PS4/5
Audience: Possibly M, for players looking for a tough and punishing challenge with a lot of gore.
In Hell and Back you play as some poor soul who ended up in this literal hell hole, why? Probably for a good, or in this case bad reason. But you do not think you deserve to be here, so you decide that maybe you can convince the Devil himself to let you go, if not? Well, maybe you can beat some sense into him. But even being able to see the man himself if going to be a though battle, as he is at the bottom of "The 9 Circles of Hell", and the first seven are guarded by "The 7 Deadly Sins", not to mention the eight one being guarded by "Satan's Right-Hand Man", but you are technically already dead, so you do not have anything to lose...
Except your progress... And your sanity...
In the game, you venture into the deepest circles of Hell looking for a way out, and you'll have to fight your way out, in a fast-paced combat system where you will be dodging and attacking trying not to get overwhelmed by your foes, luckily you can find weapons, abilities, and even perks that your character can keep for that run, because the game is a rouge-like, so every death takes you back all the way to the beginning, and takes away your stuff and perks, but there are certain ways you can keep weapons and upgrades, like “Vergil’s Private Lockers”, where you can store weapons and items for a fee, and then you can take them out at any time, even after being sent back, he also runs a shop where you can buy or sell said weapons and abilities, or if you manage to kill a boss, you can obtain a Blood Soul, which is a special type of currency that you can use to buy permanent upgrade that stay even after being sent back, like more health or power, and even abilities if you spend enough souls, but careful, every death also changes the order of the circles, so in one run you could start with the circle guarded by sloth, but in the next one you could start with greed, so it’s good to be prepared.
You might even meet characters that may be allies or enemies, or maybe they will change their allegiance in the next run, because every run has an impact on the characters and even the world, as you can unlock shortcuts if you can find them.
You will suffer a lot on this journey, but I mean you're in Hell, so you can't really say you weren't expecting it.
The gameplay I think would be something like that of “Risk of Rain 2” but with more emphasis on melee combat instead of shooting, and the art style would be cell shaded, maybe something like the art style of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy.
The images below are from the game Risk of Rain 2 and the comic book Hellboy.
Genre: (Action, multiplayer, PvE, co-op, horror, terror.)
Platform: (Console, PC).
Demographics: (Game made for mature audiences across the world).
Game description: A hunter must hunt is an action hunting game in which you play as a hunter of the bloody church, an institution that was founded to protect humanity from the evil plyxes, a kind of creatures made from all the evil of the humankind, that prey on human souls either as specters or monstrous beings that can only be killed by an extreme amount of energy or by the use of holy weapons made by the church.
As a hunter the player will be faced against impossible odds, as they try not only to survive the nights of the hunt but as they also try to unravel the story and protect the innocent.
the game will be played in a third-person PoV and will base itself purely on the player's skill to dodge and attack whether it is with melee or firearms. The player will always fight for its right to live and for the sake of other characters' lives, since every character will be important to the plot, even one of them meets their demise the story will be greatly changed.
The game will be played around a dark atmosphere, and that atmosphere will be fully represented with its music department, with songs such as:

Note: even though this game is heavily inspired by bloodborne and other games of the same style, it is not aiming to be a straight-up copy.
Genre: RPG, Visual Novel, Psychological Terror
Platform: PC & Console
Target Audience: People who are interested in liminal spaces.
Game Description: Have you ever had a familiar dream, a dream you never want to leave, or have weird nostalgia looking at empty malls that were crowded in your childhood?.
Maybe not but anyways, in LIMINAL DREAMS you travel across the main character's dreams in a journey of self knowing and acceptance.
Your goal is to make it to the Somnia Castle, a place of healing you think can help you get over your problem.
Dreams are dangerous, some monsters appear to try to wake you up, but somehow you can fight them using rpg combat.
Explore your childhood home, a empty parking lot, some dead mall in the middle of nowhere, a very intimidating house, a infinite office complex, and more.
Meet interesting characters, like a lost Angel who need to find their way to home, a dog who lost his owner or like a mysterious wizard who asks you for money only to come back many hours later in the game to reward you for your kindness or to punish you with a boss battle.
Don't try to understand this game, like dreams, it doesn't make sense, is just a weird journey.
