Horror game compared to Escape the Backrooms
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a challenging co-op survival horror game that masterfully crafts a tense, atmospheric experience rooted in the Cthulhu mythos. With clever mechanics like madness effects and a contract system, it promises a thrilling co-op journey, albeit one marred by ruthless difficulty spikes and design flaws. Players must navigate the beautiful yet dangerous 17th-century Chilean wilderness, uncovering secrets across 18 detailed maps in a game that, despite its flaws, is hard to put down.

With features like Sanity and Vital Management, and a plethora of jump scares, it's set to thrill both new and veteran players.
Paranormal Activity: Threshold, a licensed horror game by solo developer Brian Clarke (The Mortuary Assistant), is cancelled due to licensing issues with Paramount.
