Even everyday activities can be horrifying, if presented in the right — or in this case wrong — way. This is the kind of approach we see creator Bubby Darkstar take with an upcoming horror game that’s equal parts cute, horrifying, and trippy.

There are horrifying subway rides and more in Cool WIP, Polygon’s weekly roundup of eye-catching clips and screenshots of works in progress. Each week, the Polygon staff scours the internet for the most interesting games still under construction, to give you a sampler of the coolest up-and-coming projects.

This week we have a game that looks likes a collage made out of plants and objects from a garden, a frog adventure, a fast-paced platformer that reminds us of Portal, and a lively climbing game.

The flickering, neon world of Subway Midnight looks like a trippy twist on your morning commute. Described as a “cute” horror game, a new trailer from Bubby Darkstar shows a character trotting down an aisle of empty-eyed subway passengers. As the player adventures, bubbly music fit for a relaxing island stay contrasts with the dark and twisting monsters players encounter. According to the trailer, it’s coming “soon” to consoles so keep an eye out if you’re a horror nerd.
