Game description: Halloween... the scariest night of the year. Children laughing everywhere, elaborate costumes, decorations, scares, and lots of candy... traditional things associated with this time of year flooded the place. Everything was going smoothly and normally... until a blackout enveloped the streets in darkness.
At first, it seems like a normal blackout, after all, they are sudden and common occurrences, until you notice something strange. The pumpkins that dimly lit the streets with their flames weren't the only thing reflected on the streets... they also cast shadows that moved on their own, as if they were people. Some look normal and friendly, helping you find the right paths so you don't get lost in the shadows, but others behave strangely, as if they were alive. These shadows could take any form, making it difficult to know what to believe and what not to believe. What could be an innocent child crying in fear could turn into something aggressive and terrifying in a matter of seconds.
The player questions what to trust. They must be constantly aware of their surroundings, as shadows and different signs can be their salvation or their downfall

Genre: Psychological horror, Narrative
Platform: PC / Consoles
Target audience: Designed for those who enjoy horror with a touch of absurdity. For those who may laugh at the ridiculousness at first, but then discover that the humor was just the gateway to something much more disturbing.
Game description: It all starts with a visit to an abandoned carnival in the middle of the night. At first, it seems harmless: clowns that fall over on their own, poorly played fairground music, old attractions that barely work, and even automated announcements that repeat phrases incorrectly. It's so absurd that you let your guard down almost without meaning to.
But the atmosphere starts to take a turn. Each attraction hides something disturbing: on the Ferris wheel, you hear muffled cries instead of laughter; at the shooting gallery, the prizes are no longer stuffed animals but grotesque remains; and in the house of mirrors, the reflections are no longer yours.
What makes the game unique is that contrast that never warns you: the funny suddenly becomes disturbing. The player is caught in that limbo of not knowing whether to laugh or feel fear, and that's where the constant discomfort lies.
The journey is to go through the carnival to understand what doomed it. But with each attraction, it becomes clearer that the place is not empty: the absurdity was just a mask. The carnival demands a sacrifice, and sooner or later you will discover it.
