Bright Memory: Infinite
Bright Memory is a game which created some buzz when first revealed for PC. It’s a shooter/slasher developed by a single individual, and combines fast, frantic gunplay with melee combat.
The Medium
The Medium is a third-person, psychological horror game that takes cues from classic entries in the genre. It looks very Silent Hill-esque, with the original Silent Hill composer on board to assist with all things spooky-sounding.
Scarlet Nexus
Scarlet Nexus is an anime-inspired action game, like that of Devil May Cry, whereby the protagonist uses psychic abilities and weapons against a plethora of bizarre monsters.
Second Extinction
Second Extinction is what you get if Left 4 Dead and Turok had a baby. This team-based shooter pits 3 players against a horde of dinosaurs, ranging from raptors to the t-rex.
