We got a look at several horror titles being published by Blumhouse Games, starting with Crisol: Theater of Idols, a first-person horror game teeming with folklore and religion and set in Spain. That's followed by Grave Seasons, a pixelated farming and town sim, which forgoes the relaxing gameplay and instead has you attempting to figure out who is slaughtering your townsfolk.

Following that, we get a look at the creepy Sleep Awake, a psychedelic first-person horror game set in the far future in the last known city on Earth. Playing as Katja, you'll need to navigate cults, otherworldly beings, and a horrific manifestation known as The Hush. As for Fear the Spotlight, it's a " creepy love letter to classic 90s teen horror stories" and sees you sneak into a school after hours with Vivian and Amy, who attempt to survive a seance gone wrong.

The Simulation features a "never-before-seen horror game" found as the only evidence at a crime scene, which plunges you into the unknown as you attempt to cross the wall between worlds and uncover terrifying truths. Finally, there is Project C, a game from Immortality's Sam Barlow, which suggests you "prepare to have your mind broken by Half Mermaid's most twisted vision yet."
