Midnight At Red Light: An Investigation
This one is a detective story of sorts, although this probably isn’t gonna play out like most crime stories.

When a strange cult named “The Followers of Perdition” and a seemingly abandoned town becomes the focus of his investigation, he must be very cautious not to be detected or risk being lost in the ‘eternal flame’. Finding the correct forensic evidence to warrant an arrest against a mad man will be tricky. Jessica Miller made some mistakes and evil eyes are watching, waiting in the shadows. Will he be able to find her dead or alive ?

Frosty Nights
We’re a little late on the whole Christmas thing, but hey, its still Winter. What better way is there to celebrate the season with this Christmas horror game, Frosty Nights. It also has VR support!
Welcome children, to a wonderful, magical, yet grizzly story that old Nicholas never wanted you to know.
After the story is said and done. Your own story will begin.
That’s if you can survive the frosty nights that await you:
• The snowman is not so cute and friendly looking when he’s hungry.
• Watch the ways into your room carefully for any unexpected ‘guests’.
• Be sure to keep the door closed… although getting out of bed may be dangerous.
• There are many bangs, bumps, and distractions seen in the corner of your eye. Are they a real danger, or safe to ignore?
• Prepare yourself, you need something to see in the dark, and something more to defend yourself.
• Survive until the warm sun ruses.Frosty Nights is a First Person / Point and Click hybrid horror game that focuses on atmosphere and suspense.
The first couple of nights are slow, but the later nights will give you little time to think of your next move.
