Hey everyone, how you doing?
I know that Creepy Gaming has always been a place to discuss and discover pretty unknown independent games, I also know that most of the readers - including myself - aren't really interested in the AAA gaming world, but this time the news are so tasty that I doubt that anyone can simply ignore them.
As a matter of fact, since a couple of months, the most strong and refined indie bundle that we all know as The Humble Bundle has added some more initiatives, always in the name of charity and extraordinary games: a series of mini weekly bundles. And this week, they totally went crazy, there's Alan Wake and Alan Wake: American Nightmare up for another 6 days obtainable with the pay what you want model, by beating a minimum price you can also get the Steam keys for both of them. Now, I've never been a fan of the series, and I'm also fairly sure that I've never had the chance to even play a single scene of the overly praised psychological thriller.
But Remedy Entertainment - creators of Max Payne and the titular games - got this, they practically aim to turn everyone that buys the bundle in a diehard fan, more or less, because on top of the already convenient deal, by buying the 2 games you'll be granted with the access to infinite bonus content, including soundtracks, behind the scenes, never seen comics and pretty much anything else you can think of.

I'm utterly up for this, you can purchase the Alan Wake's weekly bundle starting from $1 by heading on the Humble Bundle's site.

Hello everybody!
The first exam is done and I'm surprisingly very positive, let's say that I don't even consider the chance of not having passed it, but we'll see, and since at least 2 completely free days lie ahead, I decided to focus on my own content like I wasn't doing in a long time. Get ready for a pretty intense output of creepy games!
The first game that I'm going to present is one that I wasn't really expecting to be as cool as it turned out to be, it took me less than a minute to realize that it was worthwhile a mention, despite anyway a few things that I didn't really like, don't worry, I'll get to them eventually.
Super Product Line is a short 2D adventure game developed in 3 days by Swofl during the NES fan game jam which, as you would assume, had just one rule: create a game that would've reminded of the old times when the graphics provided by any title run on the console were just the best you could get. A rule that was magnificently followed during the development process, the combination between the repetitive spooky soundtrack - provided by Nik Sudan - and the simple artwork that to give the idea of the motion makes the character look like is shaking his head every step he takes, gave me the sensation of playing Super Product Line on a physically different machine.
The game tells a rather strange story set in a financial company, I believe, you can choose to play between 2 characters, each of them with different peculiarities that don't seem to bring any influence to the actual gameplay - I chose the mathematically gifted bald, it looked like the cool one. As you start to wander between the rooms, you find your colleague hang above his desk, but no one else seem to be around, you gather bullets, medical kits and various items that are needed to proceed through the short linear gameplay. At a certain point though, the true action will certainly show up, and the gun you found behind the broken wall is what's probably going to save your life - but it may also be not enough! Yellow-ish monsters are looking for bodies to devour, do you have what it takes to prevent them from doing so?
On the downside, Super Product Line has a super slow pace, which makes the pounding soundtrack and the visual effects a bit too heavy on the long run and on top of these issues, things that need to be done don't look as obvious as they should. So, if you're unlucky, you'll probably have to walk for endless minutes without being able to realize what to do next, yes, it's a bit frustrating.

Anyhow, Super Product Line can be donwloaded for free on GameJolt, and beside the few problems that I listed right above here, it's a great game!

Hey everybody!
Just a quick article this time, as I should really be downstairs studying more, but it seems like I have some kind of special power when it comes to finding really underground titles that match the whole purpose of this site. Today's pick, especially, proved to be nothing but a quite unsettling short story, and considering its lenght, I decided that I could also write down the main points of it - Let's hope that it won't take a lot, my time is unbelievably precious today!
Untitled is just another game hard to be categorized - and the title as usual, doesn't really help - but I'd assume that it can be seen as a black and while 2D sidescrolling puzzle game that undoubtedly recalls Limbo's aesthetics, another game that anyone with just a little background of such games have to know fairly well. This time though, you move a man that finds himself laying on the ground in a rather windy evening, and here's firstly what caught my attention certainly focused somewhere else, the atmosphere created by the calm kit of sounds that will most likely accompany your walk is surely relaxing, but odd nonetheless, you feel right from the beginning that something unusual awaits ahead.
You get the unloaded rifle found just a few steps away from where did you wake up and start to walk forward, a pleasant walk that will lead you right in front of a brutal crime scene inside of a wide open farmhouse. You don't know what to do, and the macabre view doesn't help. The fact is that, there's obviously nothing you can do other than keeping your way without turning back. And also because there are just a couple of puzzles that separates you from an end that caught me off guard just like a few endings managed to do until now, I'm usually pretty good at guessing finals.
Now, I can't deny that the devs could have made the few interactive parts a bit more intuitive, just like I won't deny that Untitled's pace is probably a bit too slow - the intermittent sound produced by your steps definitely cuts the atmospheric flow that, otherwise, would represent the main strength of the game. But as usual, I'm not here to judge whether a game is bad or good, I just felt like it could have been much better!
So, if it happens to have just 5 free minutes, a game like this one might just be what you need, there are no complex mechanics and even less reading business, it's just you, the directional keys and your spacebar.

Play Untitled for free on Kongregate and experience the creepy story along with it, it's totally worth your time.
