High Room Studio’s Saborus, published by QUByte Interactive, opens on an audacious conceit: the player inhabits a single, terrified chicken attempting to flee a functioning slaughterhouse. That premise – equal parts satire and bleak parable – gives the project a clear moral edge and a distinctive identity that few contemporary indies dare to wear so openly. The decision to limit the avatar’s capabilities to what a real bird might plausibly manage (running, hiding, pecking at small objects) is central to the game’s intended tension: vulnerability becomes the mechanic, and dread is meant to follow.

The Last Case of John Morley opens as a small, bitter glass of noir: John Morley, recently discharged from hospital, is hired by the grieving Lady Margaret Fordside to re-examine the murder of her daughter, a case closed two decades prior.

From the moment you strap on the headset, Marvel’s Deadpool VR announces itself as a full-on plunge into chaos, comedy and mayhem. The premise – your favourite Merc, Wade Wilson, signed up with the interdimensional producer Mojo for “lots of money,” only to discover he’s now trapped in a reality-show-style villain hunt – gives the game license to be outrageously silly, self-aware, and gleefully violent. The narrative isn’t high art, and the story beats are often predictable (Deadpool sometimes even mocks that fact) – but that’s part of the point. The game’s tone remains faithful to what fans expect: over-the-top humour, fourth-wall-breaking jabs, and enough pop-culture references to keep you chuckling (or cringing) through most levels.

From the moment you begin, A.I.L.A. plunges you into a hauntingly original premise. As Samuel, a beta-tester who receives the titular AI system to trial, you’re lured into seemingly innocuous VR horror scenarios – only to have the walls between simulation and reality slowly crumble around you. The core idea – that an AI constructs personalized nightmares drawn from your deepest fears — feels audacious and unsettling, and for large stretches, the game leans into that psychological terror in a way few horror titles do.
