You overhear the elders talking about consuming your planet! How dare they, just because you aren't a fully grown eldritch horror yet, doesn't mean they can take your planet!
An Interactive Fiction game by Team Not Disappointment, talk to people, ghosts and animals and convince them summon you to ‘Cure the World’. Be careful to not reveal your true plan for world domination, or they won’t summon you and the world will fall into the hands... or tentacles, of the elders.
Multiple characters to talk to, multiple endings to get, all in a cutesy but creepy package.
Your friend is missing in the Australian outback and you must find her. Search the Internet for clues, solve mysterious puzzles and uncover the conspiracy of the vanishing hikers of Golden Valley.
Sadie, 11, has borrowed the Necronomicon from the local library and has taken it down to the cemetery to commune with her sister, where she accidentally opens an interdimensional rift.
Partway is an action RPG which follows Sadie and the Necronomicon as they battle through the horrors of the Below to discover the secrets hidden in long-abandoned corners of the cemetery (and hopefully Sadie's sister - who hid their GameToy before selfishly dying - Ugh.)
