The third Haunted Cities collection by Kitty Horrorshow. Basements is incredibly anxiety-inducing with its incessantly scratchy and pounding sound design, as well as the distorted flashing visuals. Castle Wormclot is a stark change of pace, being a relaxing little game of wandering around lighting candles. Although I appreciate its place, it does admittedly overstay its welcome. And then Ghost Lake manages to somehow be cool and fun, while never losing an ominous, threatening tone.

The last game, Seven Days, is outstanding is every capacity, from the atmosphere, to the writing. It involves walking around your house reading what seem to be diary entries scattered around. Depending on what day of the week you're playing the game on, the entire look and sound of the house, as well as the diary entries, will change accordingly. The game is a darkly beautiful and personal account of dealing with depression and anxiety.
