The Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021

Another year, another version of the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021. As with previous releases (the 2020 Demo Disc and the Christmas special), the amount of talent and creativity is staggering! I’ve highlighted a few of my favourites from the disc, and covered the rest of the games below.

Huge props to Breogan Hackett and the rest of the team who curated the games and put together an awesome launcher.

Note: Links either point to the itch.io or Steam page for each game, but the full demo disc can be downloaded here.

MY TOP PICKS FROM THE DISC

Agony of a Dying MMO

Agony of a Dying MMO

Relive the final 12 hours of an MMO from the perspectives of various players. NSFW.

Lorn's Lure

Climb and scale structures as an android experiencing a glitch in its system.

loveland

Solve the crimes of a mysterious, frog-worshipping cult in this gruesome point-and-click adventure game.

Mummy Sandbox

Mummy Sandbox by Z. Bill

Dig up dead things and solve puzzles in a variety of sandboxes as a mummy brought back to life by an ancient curse.

Peeb Adventures

Peeb Adventures by John Ellis

Restore the rightful king to the throne in this meta but cute retro-platformer.

risu

Risu by Ryan Trawick

Play as Risu, a girl exploring a personal hell that takes form of a school. Reminiscent of games such as Corpse Party, Silent Hill and Spirit Hunter, with that real old-school survival horror feel.

Still Ridge

Escape from an endlessly looping corridor in this puzzle/adventure game that puts its own unique twist on the P.T. formula.
