A strange schoolgirl in a World of Horror screenshot.

Submarine horror gameFull Fathom(coming to Steam) will let you flush the totally-not-Clippit tutorial out the airlock, which is the best way I’ve ever seen to skip a tutorial:

As a huge fan of chilling out on balconies inthe Blade Runner gameand 30 Flights Of Loving, among others, I’m so up for this opportunity in this retro-styled FPS. I don’t know if it has a name yet but I can tell you thatyes, you can flush the toilet.

After having looked at other screenshots and videos of music-making contraptions inDistraction Machine(coming to Steam), honestly this makes perfect sense in comparison:

My mind reels looking at the many UI elements of Debt Deadline, an RPG with “a crazy story engine that changes every time you play”:

I could really go for some Saturn Spots in immersive simSpectra, but please don’t confuse it with Saturn Spot dog food:

A thoroughly unpleasant scene in this yet-untitled retro horror game (currently codenamed Ground Zero):

And we close with our weekly visit to Grappling Hook Corner, enjoying an ability that’ll surely be abused to delightfully daft ends in this yet-unnamed immersive sim:
