Code Rebecca (House of Evil) - Angry Woman! ThingsWePlay 2018-04-10 | Mike takes a look at indie horror, Code Rebecca (House of Evil) by PicturProd AKA Stéphane Linéros. Code Rebecca is a survival horror game where you play as the title character Rebecca, as she experiences a series of unnerving and unsettling events later in her own home. While short, and in this early state (those seamless transitions say hello), what's on offer still manages to deliver some fairly decent scares. With a little more time, this could turn into something not bad at all.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us keeping on, here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out Code Rebecca for yourself here:gamejolt.com/games/CodeRebeccaGame/331853www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Umfend - Experiment gone bad! ThingsWePlay 2018-03-27 | Mike takes a look at Umfend, a short indie sci-fi horror game from Aihasto."The experiment is finally getting to the last stage, but weird things start to happen. Something doesn't want you to finish it? What is it? Echoes from the past, mere side effects or something sinister? Will you get the work done?" With an atmosphere reminiscent to the openings of Another World or Half Life, along with some well paced scares and a unique visual style, Umfend ultimately makes quite the impact... a slick, mysterious, slightly confusing, and often scary impact.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us keeping on, here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out Umfend for yourself here:aihasto.itch.io/umfendwww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Sea of Thieves - Making Friends! ThingsWePlay 2018-03-26 | Mike takes a look at Sea of Thieves, the latest open world, survival pirate adventure from Rare and Microsoft on the Xbox One and PC. With gorgeous visuals to feast your eyes on, bundles of treasure to run your hands through, and catchy shanties to sing along with, you'd be easily forgiven in thinking there was more to Sea of Thieves at launch than that of No Man's Sky - another hotly anticipated 'console exclusive'. Only thing is, much like NMS before it... there kind of isn't. But that's not to say there's no fun to be had in Microsoft's big pirate adventure at all - there's plenty! You just gotta find it (and kill a lot of skeletons in the process). And that's exactly what Mike intends to do as he sets sail in search of a bit of good old fashioned ocean-friendship.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us going here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out Sea of Thieves for yourself on the Xbox Store, or here: seaofthieves.comwww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

Promising a gripping new twist on thriller and survival horror genres, The Beast Inside is an ambitious project aiming for near photo-realistic graphics as it sets out to tell a multi-layered story about cryptanalyst discovering a hundred-year-old murder-mystery that not only remains unresolved, but also puts his very life at risk.

Emily Wants To Play Too - Pickle Party! ThingsWePlay 2017-12-10 | Mike takes an overdue look at Emily Wants To Play Too, the jump scare filled sequel to 2015's Emily Wants To Play. Emily Wants to Play Too is a survival horror game about a sandwich delivery guy that gets locked inside an evidence processing and storage office building by living dolls. The dolls have "work" to do here and are gathering new friends. They don't want to be disturbed... and you've disturbed them. The Demo acts as something of a prologue to these events, seeing you waking up the day after a hectic party at your house and attempting to get ready for a days work, only... you may have a few unwanted guests. With randomised events and some very creepy happenings, the demo alone has a ton of replay value, and enough scares to stop you sleeping for a week.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us going here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out the demo for yourself on Steam here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/652190/Emily_Wants_to_Play_TooMusic by Epidemic Sound(www.epidemicsound.com)www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

After a difficult first meeting with 'Roy', Mike finds himself lost deep within the basement underbelly of the prison. Armed with little more than a never ending supply of matches, and brief snippets of advice from the mysterious Ben, Mike desperately tries to figure out what's going and make it out alive.

After waking from a particularly bad nightmare, Jonathan finds himself in a seedy prison cell with no clue how he got there. Surely he's still dreaming? A eerily familiar dream, but a dream none the less.

While the game follows a distinct story, the order of levels, events, and numerous environmental factors are different for each player. Ultimately, everyone will be able to uncover and interpret the overarching story, and the sinister world surrounding it - in their own way. with a unique visual style and glitch-like presentation, Heliophobia could prove to be something very interesting indeed.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us going here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out the demo for yourself until November 6th here:http://glassknuckle.com/Heliophobiawww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

Bonbon is about experiencing the objects and events around you, and as your parents increasingly demonstrate their absence, you spend time with Bonbon, a large, overbearing and ambiguous visitor...

Devil in the Pines - Not Mine! ThingsWePlay 2017-10-13 | Mike takes a look at Devil in the Pines, a recently released indie horror game that sees you wandering cursed woods with a crossbow in search of a key to the nearby mines, where the solution to healing your very sick daughter will apparently present itself, or something. Roughly translated that means it's dark, and things are going to suddenly come out of nowhere to get you. And they do. Devil in the Pines is a simple, brutal, and unforgiving horror game that may very well be hiding more beneath the surface than it first appears, for those willing to take the challenge.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us going here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out Devil in the Pines for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/706280/Devil_in_the_Pineswww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

London Heist (Playstation VR Test) - Diamond Days! ThingsWePlay 2017-09-27 | As something a little bit different, Mike shares his first full playthrough of London Heist, part of the VR Worlds compilation available on PlayStation VR. After stumbling somewhat hap-hazardly into dealings with some shady types, Mike gets swept along through a carefully orchestrated diamond heist, and all that comes with it.Whilst never intended to be made into an actual lets play video, and instead acting as a test for the Playstation 4's game capture facilities using the PSVR built in microphone, the results aren't half bad - and so, you're seeing them now. If you'd like to see more VR stuff going forwards, let us know in the comments below.

Precipice - Around the house! ThingsWePlay 2017-09-23 | Mike takes a look at Precipice, a P.T. inspired horror game from France that was somehow overlooked when released a few months ago. Following a similar set up to the Silent Hills demo P.T., Precipice is a slick and well put together homage to the now infamous PS4 demo. And although at present it may be a little light on any real 'puzzle elements', it's gorgeous visuals, incredible attention to detail and superb pacing mean you'll be hard pressed to find a better P.T.-like experience outside of the original (that is, presumably until the troubled Alison Road comes out). If you're a fan of this type of thing, and haven't yet checked out Precipice amongst the sea of other clones, then this is certainly worth your time.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us going here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out Precipice for yourself here:gamejolt.com/games/precipice/261486Note: The game is french in origin, and as a result designed for use with an AZERTY keyboard.

Lust for Darkness - Eyes Wide Shut! ThingsWePlay 2017-09-16 | Mike takes a look at the Kickstarter backer's early alpha demo for forthcoming 'sexy' horror game Lust for Darkness, being made by Movie Games: Lunarium. The game describes itself as a first-person psychological horror of seeking satisfaction on the border of two intertwining worlds. An intriguing plot with erotic and occult themes (very familiar to anyone who's watched Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut') guides the player's character through the Yelverton's victorian mansion and a perverse land inspired with Lovecraft's works and paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński. Basically, a little bit scary, a little bit naughty, but mighty impressive stuff so far.Subscribe for more:http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlaySponsor the channel and keep us going here:gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCTypeJEk1Y6PAHlurwH5Nnw#action=sponsorCheck out the Lust for Darkness Kickstarter campaign here:kickstarter.com/projects/1752350052/lust-for-darknessAnd on Steam here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/523650/Lust_for_Darknesswww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

The game sees you playing as a doctor of psychology, uncovering the gloomiest parts of the human brain in order to overcome your fear and find out what has really happened to your family. Reminiscent of 'Layers of Fear' in terms of production value, and with nods to this years 'Get Out' movie, Rise of Insanity is a slick, effective horror game packed with unique, interesting scares and a compelling story - definitely one to watch throughout Early Access.Subscribe for more: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ThingsWePlayCheck it out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/629220/Rise_of_Insanitywww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

ThingsWePlay 2017-07-09 | Mike takes a look at Lunacy: Saint Rhodes, an upcoming psychological horror game, seemingly inspired by the P.T. demo for Silent Hills - and with scares to match. Lunacy is about an eleven year old boy left alone in an old house waiting for his mum to come home at midnight. Feeling someone else's presence in the building, he explores the house - but the more he explores, the more he finds out about the home's sinister past, and he seems to have caught someone (or something's) attention.Check it out for yourself here:lunacy-horror.itch.io/lunacy-saint-rhodeswww.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

In this laboratory, once working people were trying to give others super-abilities. However, they could not have imagined where these experiments led. The hero gets there as a result of a crash.

ThingsWePlay 2017-06-26 | Mike takes a look at Remothered: Tormented Fathers, a psychological 3rd person survival horror game with strong cinematic inspiration and 'extreme' gameplay. The story is described as rich of unpredictable plot-twists, but touching at the same time - with psychology playing a huge role within the game: heroes and enemies are atypical and the line between good and evil is blurred. The development of the game is designed to be similar to that of film narration, where the player perfectly identifies himself with the character - and Mike can 'film noir' it out to his heart's content.

This bloodthirsty predator is fast, smart, has great senses and will do everything it can to eat anyone alive. The only way to break the curse is to find and burn nine totems... and that's where you come in. The more totems you manage to burn the more intense the game and its scares become. So your best bet is to get from point A to point B as fast as possible, duck down, and stay out of Wendigo's way at all costs.

Set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting, Outlast 2 introduces you to Sullivan Knoth and his followers, who left our wicked world behind to give birth to Temple Gate, a town, deep in the wilderness and hidden from civilization. Knoth and his flock are preparing for the tribulations of the end of times and you’re right in the thick of it.Check it out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/414700www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
TABZ - Totally Accurate Survival! ThingsWePlay 2017-04-03 | Mike takes a look at Totally Accurate Battle Zombielator, or TABZ, the latest April Fools gag turned next big thing from Landfall Games - creators of Clustertruck and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator.It's becoming something of a trend now, for Landfall Games to put out a wacky public prototype on April 1st. Last year we had the excellent Super Truck, a SUPERHOT inspired game mode for Clustertruck (that actually ended up in the final game) and this year, we've TABZ. In a light-hearted email stating Landfall Games had cancelled the forthcoming Totally Accurate Battle Simulator following market research informing them that what people really want is first person survival games, the company has done just that. Turning resources for TABS into assets for TABZ.As to be expected, they've once again taken the joke much further than they needed to, creating something genuinely a bit special. Featuring 10 person multiplayer servers, a massive open world island, a ton of different guns, a chat system, and more procedural first person wobbly physics than practical, here's an open world survival game that doesn't attempt to hide it's flaws... it runs with them.Sign up for your copy here:http://landfall.se/tabz/www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds - Logans Run! ThingsWePlay 2017-03-25 | Mike and Matt team up and jump into PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, for a co-op, 100 player last man standing fight to the mother-loving death. Starting with nothing, the guys must fight to locate weapons and supplies across a massive 8x8km island. PLAYERUNKNOWN aka Brendan Greene, is a pioneer of the Battle Royale genre. As the creator of the Battle Royale game-mode found in the ARMA series and H1Z1: King of the Kill, Greene is co-developing the game with veteran team at Bluehole to create the most diverse and robust Battle Royale experience to date.This was recorded during the beta, so it's far from polished yet, but damn... things are looking good.Check out Matt's perspective here on his channel:youtube.com/channel/UCu8oGD3SILOFYsxGZW6_PJgAnd grab yourself a copy of Battlegrounds here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/578080Music by Epidemic Sound(www.epidemicsound.com)www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Club Naughty - Bad night out! ThingsWePlay 2017-03-06 | Mike tries his hand a running a night club in Club Naughty, a game that describes itself as a unique management gaming experience. Well that it is... and a bad one. Still, between the obnoxious music, zombie corpse women, and the constantly complaining never satisfied customers, there's fun to be had. There's that clicking mini-game bit - that was fun. And it is in first person, like Call of Duty.Check it out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/558870www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Polterheist - Security Ghost! ThingsWePlay 2017-02-24 | Mike takes a look at Polterheist, a new and interesting horror game that seemingly takes inspiration from the likes of Hello Neighbor, or at least how some people eventually ended up playing Hello Neighbor - stealing everything they could from the house (kinda like this: youtu.be/60pxKaWUMq0). So Polterheist sees you, playing as a thief (with a bad cough), sneaking into someone's house in the middle of the night with a shopping list of desirable items ranging from laptops to projectors and cameras to 'collect'. The only problem is... the house is haunted. Haunted by one of the most aggressively unfair ghost security guards imaginable. It's a great idea for a game, with a name fit for an Eddie Murphy comedy where he plays 6 different characters all at once - and executed just a well. It's worth remembering this isn't in Early Access guys. This is it.Check it out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/595320www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur

Deep Rock Galactic - Miner Issues! ThingsWePlay 2017-02-19 | Mike and Darren team up to take a look at the closed alpha for Deep Rock Galactic by Ghost Ship Games. Deep Rock Galactic is a first-person sci-fi shooter designed to be played by up to 4 players co-operatively, featuring fully procedural and destructible environments for to explore, mine, get lost, bitch, moan and explode your way through to reach your objectives - that glorious Morkite. As a part of a team of veteran dwarven space miners, you must take on perilous missions for the interplanetary mining corporation 'DEEP ROCK GALACTIC' and go where no-one else dares - into the deepest, most dangerous cave systems of the most hostile planet ever discovered - or in Darren's case... straight down. Even in these early stages Deep Rock Galactic is shaping up to become something very nice indeed, similar in feel to Space Beast Terror Fright, but with a bit of Minecraft, Red Faction, Spelunky and Left 4 Dead thrown in for good measure. Definitely one to chuck on your watchlist.

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 - Live Die Repeat! ThingsWePlay 2017-02-05 | After lying on his CV and getting all of his friends to call him 'Ghost Warrior' at school, Mike somehow now finds himself in the thick of two very hostile contract missions. He's going to have to use stealth, strategic thinking, tactical driving and even his very expensive telescope as he battles against the elements, the terrain, his incompetence, and the enemy in order to get these jobs done. This is the Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 beta, and by the looks of things... it's Groundhog Day.Check out Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 on Steam here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/368070www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
The Forest - Twin Trouble! ThingsWePlay 2017-01-24 | Mike and Darren re-visit The Forest as twins, for an all-new adventure in search of the updated ending, and some much needed closure. All going well the pair will find their lost son and get some answers, as they all too casually make their way across the island taking in the many sights, meeting locals, hunting deer, rebuilding turtles and getting into as much trouble as they can. Let's hope little Timmy's a fighter... because this may take some time.More Darren here:youtube.com/channel/UCBJeZKYuqX9XDAOe-wU4fLgGrab yourself a copy of The Forest here: http://survivetheforest.comFor more videos of The Forest check out our playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT4pUz2FDaZi1V5mnCVkBzrezsSjwV5j1Music by Epidemic Sound(www.epidemicsound.com)www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Heat Guardian - Soviet Survival! ThingsWePlay 2017-01-22 | Mike takes a look at the work in progress demo for Heat Guardian, a new survival game currently being made by a single developer. Playing like a top down version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Heat Guardian is an intense survival horror shooter set in a post-Soviet apocalypse in which you must manage resources and survive a hostile environment populated by deadly mutants and just as deadly bandits or rival factions - all the time staying as warm as the freezing landscape will allow. Whilst still very early in development at this point, Heat Guardian is shaping up to be something very special indeed and definitely one to have on your watchlist.Check it out for yourself here:http://gamejolt.com/games/heat-guardian/183673And vote for it on Steam Greenlight here:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=844958670www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Survival Postapocalypse Now: The Return (Teaser) ThingsWePlay 2017-01-18 | So i've been playing a lot of Survival Postapocalypse Now again. And there's just something about it and the tension it creates that sets it apart from other survival out there. It's weird, i know. It's very russian, i know. But damn, it's got just enough depth, active players and weirdness to make it genuinely worth playing, and as a result i'm having a blast.Not seen it before? Watch my previous videos here:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT4pUz2FDaZgT5mtEuIeiQiqxl9zZ2OTJAnyways, this is just a little thing i've been working on. It's not finished. It's not polished. But consider it something of a teaser, and a test to see if you'd like to see this spun out into something more. There's definitely stuff to show you, and fun to be had, alone or with friends - and i'm in the mood for a more cinematic series. If this sounds like something you'd want to see, let me know in the comments and/or with the like button, and we'll make it happen.

You play as a father who has to find his lost daughter who, after running off during a family holiday in Crete, has somehow managed to get lost within the ever twisting and turning maze of underground catacombs beneath the island.

Survive the harsh life of being stuck on a raft in the middle of the ocean, gathering debris from the water in order to craft equipment necessary for survival.

Previously a PSVR exclusive and now available on Steam, Beginning Hour features multiple alternate endings for those willing to put the time in to fully exploring the house and it's creepy contents.Check it out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/530620www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Handle with Care - Smash it up! ThingsWePlay 2016-12-16 | Mike takes a look at Handle with Care, a recent game jam entry made in just 72 hours for Ludum Dare 37 with the theme 'One Room'. The game sees you as a new employee at a museum, tasked with moving three very precious ancient relics from the entrance to their display areas. Sounds simple, but these relics are just heavy and awkward enough to make walking around with them incredibly difficult, and dodging all the other priceless museum exhibits practically impossible. For your first day at the museum... this is your worst nightmare.Check it our for yourself here:http://gamejolt.com/games/handle-with-care/217755www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Voodoo - Colossus Hunter! ThingsWePlay 2016-12-16 | Mike takes a look at Voodoo, a multiplayer open-world survival game set amidst the fantasy wildlife of primal Africa. It's all a bit Hakuna Matata. Champion the call of your tribe by hunting, gathering and crafting resources, building your village, and battling for territory and domination at the dawn of civilization. Except, in this early state we won't be seeing much of that, instead there's a massive nobody-told-you-about Shadow of the Colussus style Colussi to take down... and funnily enough, he's not giving up without a fight.Check it out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/467570www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Feral - Wild Thing! ThingsWePlay 2016-12-06 | Mike takes a look at an early prototype for Feral, a beautiful first person hunting game in which you play a large cat-like predator who must hunt down prey to survive and feed their young. The Avatar-esque world of Feral is utterly gorgeous, full of lush vegetation, vibrant colors, strange alien beasts and jaw dropping scenery similar in style to that of No Man's Sky. Developed by a team of 7 Supinfogame students during one year as a graduation project, Feral is currently in a very early state, however there's plenty to sink your teeth into (snigger) as you use stealth, and all your senses to stalk the unsuspecting wildlife - and after each succesful hunt you’ll be able to return to your cave, unlock new skills and abilities, and become even more of a badass feline beast hunter.Check it out for yourself here:row.itch.io/feralMusic by Epidemic Sound(www.epidemicsound.com)www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
Maize - Hard Pore Corn!

Explore an abandoned farm and a not-so-abandoned underground research facility as you uncover the mysteries around Maize, and possibly learn a bit about yourself along the way. Or maybe not. Whilst strictly not horror, it certainly has that vibe and features puzzle gameplay and humour reminiscent of that seen in old Lucas Arts point and click adventures.Check out for yourself here:http://store.steampowered.com/app/284240www.thingsweplay.comFollow us on twitter: @thingsweplayLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thingsweplayFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/thingsweplayFollow Mike on twitter: @videosaur
