The Cecil is a first-person action game where players take on the role of John, a devoted husband staying at The Cecil Hotel with his wife, Sarah, while on a romantic getaway. Their dream vacation turns into a nightmare when John wakes up locked in a dark cell only to realize that Sarah is missing, and he must find her before it's too late. Set to find his wife, he takes matters into his own hands and searches the dark hallways of the hotel, but uncovers many unexpected secrets along the way.
Chasmal Fear is a next-gen tactical shooter survival horror game built in Unreal Engine 5 from the perspective of a body camera. Investigate a mysteriously empty sci-fi underwater facility where something has gone wrong. Manage limited resources, choose wisely between fighting or sneaking past the monstrosities which once killed might mutate into something even worse. Unlock hidden areas and solve puzzles to uncover the truth of what happened. Every decision will impact your gameplay experience, some swarming relentless monsters against you while others offering the chance to employ stealth and cunning to survive. Played as singleplayer or Co-Op with 2 players.
