The Mildew Children Review
"Yes, truly the stars lay out winding paths before us. It seems I am too young to understand their true intent (...) Just as you are too young. And even your sisters who have survived the sunset. We're all too young here." - OokletHave you ever wondered what would truly happen if we never grew up? Or rather, if we weren't ever allowed to grow up? What if our innocence became the root of a despair that we can't escape because we are at the mercy of forces we cannot begin to understand? "The Mildew Children" explores those questions in detail with
Static Dread: The Lighthouse Review
Things were well enough on the mainland. The sea air was intoxicating, the slightest haze swirling just above the waters surface. You flip open your tattered and worn wallet, index finger brushing across the faded and worn central point, digit gracing along that prominent outwards curve. The leather silently gives from years of use, calloused fingers producing a photo from it's central fold. Two pair of beautiful bright eyes and a set of warm smiles meet your gaze: Your lovely family. You wouldn't be out here for long. It would only be a few days before the next Keeper was on
DEVOUR Review
Survival horror with friends? Yeah, why not!?Devour isn’t exactly new you might’ve heard of it already. It was developed and published by Straight Back Games and first released on January 28, 2021, but since then, quite a few things have changed.They have added a VR mode, which sounds nice actually, though I haven’t tried it myself. What I did play was the regular co-op mode with some friends. There are new maps now, which is great, back when I first played, there were only around four, so more variety was definitely needed, I first played and they have introduced new characters
Paranormal Clean Up Review
Developer Manic Mice, who have brough a fair share of horror titles to the table have done it yet again. True to their specialty, Paranormal Clean Up throws you into the shoes of one of four cleaners, sent to take out the trash on both a physical- and perhaps "spiritual" level. Players familiar with more traditional job simulators will feel right at home, and perhaps fans of titles such as Paranormal Activity will as well. Though personally, I found this much more of a unique twist off of a cleaning sim than the other way around. So while there may be
Stygian: Outer Gods Review
In the distance, a low roar spilled across the skies, echoing it’s foreboding song. Despite this, the boat rocked quietly along it’s appointed path, my gaze diverted to the pages below me. I was scarcely aware of any present company, nor the foreboding cast that grew in the sky overhead as we drew closer to our destination: Kingsport.Long estranged since our youth, Victoria had convinced me along on this excursion; with some guilt, I’ll admit I still find it hard to resist her feminine charm. I sighed, calloused fingers turning a page deftly, eyes scouring through the notes of my father.

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -
