Do you miss the days of physical magazines packed with demo discs? Would you like to see it perverted in sinister ways?PC Cursed 98will give you the whole experience you’ve been looking for, it’s free, and it’savailable for PC now.
The (free) demo disc contains 21-ish shortform horror games from a slew of creators. From the list, I only really recognize Jacob Jazz, who made theBaobabs Mausoleumgames. But that’s kind of the point of these compilations: you get a glimpse into the minds of a variety of small, indie developers. Maybe you’ll like what you see and will form a brand-new parasocial relationship with them!
The games are supposedly all horror-themed, but their style runs the gamut between lo-fi, jank pop, and retro-inspired. Typically, for these jams, a lot of the included games are very experimental. As such, some of them fail. Others might make you wish you could unsee them. But a few may echo in the darkest recesses of your soul. It’s worth a look. Jam games, I guess you could call them.
PC Cursed 98is now available forPC through itch.io. It’s free, so it probably doesn’t hurt.
