## Gameplay

The game revolves mainly about platforming puzzles and light combat in an interconnected world. The Queen cannot jump, but can hover a small ammount of time using her wings. She will acquire new tools as the game goes on, such as a sword and timed bombs.
Erasure

A tank controlled survival horror game by hologram imitating the extremely early aesthetic of CG modelling in the early 90s. The game is about a supervisor of people hooked into virtual reality, solving glitches with an odd ring-like interface. However, the supervisor will encounter an extremely dangerous and strange error that seems to have more going on than a mere glitch.

The full game is included for free on the Haunted Demo Disc 2020, with a 5 dollar standalone version on their itch.io page in case you want to support the developer.
Heartworm

**Heartworm** is an upcoming tank-controlled horror adventure game by Vincent Adinolfi featured on the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2020. It is made in the *Unity* engine.

## Summary

The game is about Sam, a girl with serious PTSD from a long forgotten event in her past. When a mysterious VHS tape arrives at her apartment, she takes a surrealist trip down memory lane.

## Gameplay

The gameplay of the game is described as a "love letter to the late 90s genre progenitors". It features fixed camera perspectives and classic tank controls, akin to games such as *Silent Hill*, *Resident Evil* and *Dino Crisis*.

The game has enemies which have to be "shot" at through an over the shoulder third person perspective. The transition between fixed camera angles and this freeform aim is seamless.

Future Reality

Future reality is an aerial racing game set in a dystopian future where fleshy structures and radioactive dumps populate the scenery. The player controls a flying vehicle and competes against 16 other opponents in circuits. The game is developed by Future Reality Softworks, a team up of known HPS1 developers such as Modus Interactive, pastafuture and Neurobew.

## Gameplay

The player can choose among a variety of ships, each with different statistics. The twist of the races comes in the form of REFUSE, organic matter which can attach to the ship and be used for healing or a turbo boost. Healing uses less REFUSE than a boost, and comes handy even for skilled players, as certain areas of the circuit are flooded with nuclear waste which slowly drain the ship's health.

The more the game goes on, the more of the protagonist's past and the mysteries of the office intersect with their shift.

## Gameplay

Normally, the player will remain sat at their terminal and unable to move. The screen will display scanned parcels with highlighted text, which the player must manually introduce by typing it. The player is allowed to zoom into the image or flip the parcel to the other side to find the desired text elsewhere. An autocomplete feature can be used to assist in writing the accurate address. The player’s goal is to finish their shift, hoping nothing bad happens in the meantime.

Beating the high scores of certain characters roaming the place will make them reward you with tons of tickets. The store can be used to increase the ticket multiplier to fasten the collection of your soul.

Gob

Gob is an exploration horror game developed by Gamma Girl set in a rotten subterranean sewer society where our protagonist accidentally enters its deepest levels looking for his lost 25 cents. The game thrives on fixed camera angles and an eerie Claymation aesthetic.

## Summary

After they demolished the mall, the old dirt patch on the edge of town stayed untended for coming up on two years. Until tonight.

On the way back from a late-night walk you passed by the familiar vacant spot - only to find that it was vacant no longer. A cubic monolith of glass and steel, stretching heavenward, stood where that morning there had been nothing. From within - bright lights, electric sounds, bitcrushed music. And the very faint echo of shrieks and moans.

It's late already. Looks like you'll be coming home a little later still...

The Heilwald Loophole

“*A dingy hospital, psychotic staff and a weird loophole. What can possibly go wrong?*”
― Tagline
***The Heilwald Loophole*** is a first-person horror adventure game by Jamathan. The demo was released on 2021 as a part of *Demo Disc 2021*, and the full game was officially released on Itch.io and Steam on February 4, 2022. The game seems to focus on stages centered around a different pursuer with unique ways of detecting your presence and being distracted.

## Summary

The Heilwald Klinikum used to be one of the most renowned medical facilities in Germany. That all changed when that curious loophole appeared...

You awaken in a dingy storage room in a pile of rubble and dust. Observing your surroundings you notice a massive hole in the ceiling. How curious. Dazed from the fall and mildy confused you venture into the twisted depths of the Heilwald Klinikum.

The Heilwald Loophole takes the classic survival horror trope of being stuck in a run down hospital/asylum and being chased by crazed nurses and doctors but adds an important twist:

*It is impossible to die.*

Every action, every decision merely opens up a new pathway to venture down leading you deeper into the Heilwald Klinikum.

How far does it go? And what is that god damn loophole about?

Haunted PS1 Wretched Weekend 1

**Haunted PS1 Wretched Weekend 1** was a Haunted PS1 game jam that ran from April 9th to April 14th, 2020. It was hosted by Breogán Hackett. The theme of the jam was to make a game "to fill this cold empty void" with minimal gameplay in 48 hours.

The jam has a total of 68 entries.

The Chameleon

The Chameleon is a game made by Merlino Games, featured on the Demo Disc 2021. This game is an action-stealth game that has the player trying to escape a high-security facility by use of powers such as shapeshifting and dashing. The Chameleon had its full release on July 13th.

## Gameplay

The Chameleon starts the player off with very few abilities, and very little explanation of the players goals; the player simply wakes up in a room full of collapsed guards, and slowly learns piece by piece what the purpose of the facility is, and who the protagonist seems to be. The player starts off with only the ability to sneak and punch unwary guards, but acquires more abilities as they explore the facility, starting with the ability to shapeshift into a guard for a few seconds.

KILLER BEES

A first person survival horror by Neurobew where you explore an abandoned flat ravaged by killer bees. It will focus on linear slow-paced poorly lit levels where surprise encounters are the norm, each chapter being framed as a different found footage remnant. The demo has two endings, and the game seems to encourage exploration for secrets.
C.H.A.I.N.

C.H.A.I.N. is an exquisite-corpse style game collection developed by several members of the HPS1, led by Papercookies. Each game picks up on the themes and story of the last one, creating a metaphorical narrative "chain".

## Meta-narrative

During the cleaning of a US Navy bunker, 20 PlayStation 1 games were recovered and subsequently stored in the national surplus. Nine years later, these games reemerged in an inventory check and were assigned to a group of digital archeologists, who soon found out that these games had no origin or associated publishers on record. Government officials marked them as an anomaly, and entrusted them to a team of researchers with one goal in mind: to establish their true chronological order under the codename C.H.A.I.N.

## Development

C.H.A.I.N. originally began as a take on the exquisite-corpse style development of games, described as a game of telephone but with game development instead of words. The idea was proposed to the larger HPS1 community on the May 2nd, 2020 by papercookies, with registration opening the same day. Originally, there were only meant to be 12 entries in the collection (hence the Work-In-Progress name "experiment-12", an homage to a similar project) but due to high demand this number soon grew from 12 through 15 to 20 entries. Later, papercookies proposed the name "The HPS1 Bloody Chain", which eventually turned into C.H.A.I.N. - Chronological Haunted Anomalous Interconnected Narrative.

Every game was developed by one person over the course of a week, who would then send their game to the next person on the list. The first game, Jazz Mickle's "Torch", began development on the 18th of May, 2020 and the last entry, corpsepile's 999999 wrapping up development on the 4th of October, 2020.

The collection released soon after, on the 31st of October, 2020.

Peeb Adventures

“*Peeb goes on a terrifying adventure to defeat true evil...*”
― Tagline
**Peeb Adventures** is a surreal adventure game by Feverdream Johnny that was featured on the Haunted Demo Disc 2021. This game is a platformer with an offbeat sense of humor. *Peeb Adventures* is still in development, aiming for release sometime in summer of 2023.

## Summary

*Peeb goes on a comedic adventure to escape the back-code of his game after being banished by a mysterious entity... Will he succeed?*

*Swing around in this retro-styled third-person platformer as the titular Peeb, solving puzzles and navigating obstacles with your trusty grappling hook...*

*Can you find all of the secret worlds and easter eggs?*

## Gameplay

The game is a 3D platformer with mechanics focused around the protagonists "grappling hook" ability. Peeb can shoot a rope(?) at most surfaces to jump and swing around with, or to pull objects around with.

It seems the game will deviate from its core gameplay in certain stages, as seen by the secret stage in the demo and some gameplay previews.

## Trivia

* Skully appeared in *Peeb Adventures* as one of the NPCs.

“*(/ω＼) A colorful PS1 styled spoopy game about a haunted bowl of ramen!  ..・ヾ(。＞＜)シ*”
― Tagline

The Snow of Basidia

***The Snow of Basidia*** is a short adventure horror platformer game by Modus Interactive and was released as one of the games part of the *Madvent Calendar 2020* collaboration as "Day 22" game on December 22, 2020. The standalone version is also available on Itch.io.

It is the first installment of the *Basidia* chronicles, a series of Nintendo 64 *Zelda*-inspired horror games. A second game, titled *The Winds of Basidia*, is currently under development.

## Summary

A peaceful town experiences its first snow.

Are you willing to discover the source of this mysterious phenomenon?
House of Necrosis

House of Necrosis is a turn based grid roguelike played from a top-down perspective set in a Resident Evil-esque mansion. The gameplay is based around randomly generated dungeon floors where the player must find the exit. Moving the character or attacking counts as a player turn, after which the enemies will also do their moves; however, the pace is so fast that it looks almost like real time action. Aiming your weapon at the right angle will not count as a player turn, so plan your shots carefully, as no auto-aim exists.

The player can find herbs, gunpowder and trinkets they should manage and combine to manage their limited inventory. Sometimes, they will also step on mysterious serums they have to use to guess their effect, which can be benefitial or dangerous. Boss fights, leveling up and safe rooms are also key features of the experience.
Madvent Calendar 2021

## Overview

Madvent Calendar 2021 (alternate title *2 Madvent 2 Calendar*) is a collection of short game vignettes from members of the HPS1 community. There are 25 games available from a launcher, one for each day from December 1st through the 25th; these games are not demos, so there is no further development for these titles unless specified otherwise. Unlike the first Madvent Calendar, the games in this launcher are not locked behind an advent system that would unlock the games when their specific day is reached, except for the final game.

## Development

Madvent 2021 almost didn't happen, until in late September, Vladimere Lhore, no longer able to contain their excitement to participate in another year, began asking around to see if it was happening, and accidently became the project manager.

Thankfully, Colter, who had designed the prior year's launcher, offered to build off their code to make something even better.

While filling out the sign up sheet, there was talk on what the launcher should be. Eventually an isolated mountain village was chosen. Mr. Asmoday offered to make the houses again this year, while The Sickly Wizard would end up making the fire wood shacks, and Vlad made the mountain itself.

Ryan Rauch was kind enough to lend their talents again in making the music.

The family is going through financial difficulties. The situation is also complicated by the fact that Walter owes money to people from New York. And although the husband keeps it a secret from his wife, Lora has a suspicion. Moreover, she suspects him of cheating.

Effigy

A first person metroidvania by Redact Games with the pace of an old boomer-shooter. The game takes placed on a lunar prison that's been raided by ex-convicts forming a strange cult. The game will enter Early Access in 2022.

## Gameplay

The game controls like your usual first person shooter, based on health and armor systems akin to Doom. The player can also obtain a medkit pack by exploring the stage that can grant 50 health 6 times before it runs out, as well as other upgrades like permanent health boosts, weapons or traversal options. One unique mechanic are power cells that need to be transported to the door they open before they run out of energy.
Fatum Betula

***Fatum Betula*** is an adventure horror game by Bryce Bucher (with music by Simone Peltier) that was featured in the Demo Disc 2020. It is a non-linear exploration game played from a first-person perspective, set in a surreal world where the continued fate of the world is tied to the growth of a small tree. The game was fully released in June 20, 2020 on Itch.io and Steam, and released on the Nintendo Switch in 2021.

## Summary

*Placed in a world without change, you must create fate by watering an ancient plant. Determine a future and live with it.*

## Gameplay

Fatum Betula starts the player off in a small temple, where they can meet with a strange being who informs them of their goal; the tree in this temple is tied to the fate of the world, and the tree needs to be watered with something other than plain water for a change in fate to happen. The player is then given their most important tools - a set of vials for carrying liquids in - and sent off to find a new liquid to feed the tree with.

The game is very non-linear: there are ten special liquids to find, so ten endings in all. Some of the endings require use of other liquids and special tools in order to access areas and find more well-hidden liquids the player can then bring back to the tree. In the demo, some of the largest areas are fully blocked off to the player, which limits the player to only finding a few endings.
Apolysis

**Apolysis** is a game made by Valerie Dusk and Valerie "Dawn" Paris (jointly named "*From Dusk till Dawn*") featured on the Demo Disc 2021. A trailer for Apolysis was also featured at EEK3 2021. The game is described as a "third-person atmospheric narrative".

## Gameplay

The player controls a character simply referred to as the Seeker, a runaway who is compelled to explore a deserted refinery that is inhabited by a mysterious goddess. Progression is mostly linear, as the player has to find and inspect specific points of interest in order to continue descending further into the factory's depths.
