This first-person psychological horror game has delighted us since releasing on PC in Sep. 2024. Following the crew of the freighter spaceship, Tuplar after its journey is sabotaged, captain Curly is left with horrific injuries.

As the game unfolds, blame is placed on him, and his position is assumed by another crew member. Not everything is as it seems, of course, and there’s much more to Curly’s predicament to learn as the plot unravels and the real villain is revealed.
