You are stalked through an abandoned subway by an evil clown. You have a claw hammer and a flashlight. The flashlight only has forty seconds of battery life but more batteries can be found in toolboxes scattered around in abandoned subway cars. Health can be restored by eating rats you kill with the claw hammer. Be careful of staying too long in the dark because your madness meter rises and that attracts the clown. You can run at double your walking speed (glacially slow) for three seconds but must recharge for fifteen seconds before you can run again.

You can jump, but only as high as the average sidewalk curb.

You are stalked through the Chernobyl nuclear complex by an evil radioactive clown. Patches of strong radiation lower your health but you can take iodine pills to restore health. Boxes of iodine pills are tiny and basically invisible against the concrete texture of the walls, floor, and ceiling. You will encounter famous scenes from Chernobyl, including the infamous Elephants Foot slag heap.

You wake up on an abandoned cruise ship that has been overrun by murderous clowns. You have a sun hat and a Hawaiian shirt. Your goal is to reach the lifeboats but you must fist navigate the many rooms where an evil clown may be lurking around any corner. You can restore health by putting on sunblock stolen from luggage found scattered around the ship.

Listen to reason, man. Why make your job difficult?
also the clown is a manifestation of the protagonist's abusive childhood which we learn more about as the game progresses through scripted flashback vignettes whenever you take an anti psychosis pill which you also find littered around the nuclear reactor. there's some sort of twist near the end that has the appearance of tying everything together but falls apart under scrutiny because none of us can write good

You are pursued through a haunted house by an evil clown doll that has the power to teleport to your location if your madness meter gets above a certain level. Looking at portraits of your mother (of which there are many) raise the madness meter, but drinking alcohol lowers the madness meter. You can ward off the clown doll with a crucifix but the crucifix becomes less effective each time you use it and becomes completely ineffective after four uses. There are diaries scattered around the mansion that each contain a single diary entry. Once you find all the diary entries you discover that your character is insane.

What if something spooky happened back in the spookiest decade of all... THE 1990S?!?!?!

Also there should be a jumpscare when you look in the bathroom.

You wake up in a Russian submarine trapped at the bottom of the sea. The crew has mysteriously vanished. You must piece together clues as to what happened while evading a mysterious clown like entity that seems drawn to your rising panic level. The sound of your breathing and heartbeat are distractingly loud and cannot be muted.

It's the 1990s and you're trapped in an abandoned video arcade that goes on forever. The games will sometimes turn on unexpectedly when you approach, startling the player. Find abandoned slices of pizza to restore your hunger meter and play games to collect prize tickets to trade for useful items. Beware, though, an evil birthday clown also stalks the arcade.

"You examine the worn photograph. A man with a bizarre hairstyle looks solemn, his hair adorned with a multitude of bleached spikes. Perhaps some kind of demonic crown? HIs clothes hang loosely on his body, as if they've been stolen from a much larger victim. He has no visible legs, simply two large tubes of denim. You look at the quote on the back of the photo 'Keep it loose, see you next year. Class of '99 forever, biatch!' You don't know why, but this makes you very uncomfortable."

It all starts when your character looks at a photograph of an evil clown. Now you're being hunted through an endless shopping mall circa 1990. The mannequins sometimes come to life and attack you. When you pass an electronics store, distorted, creepy music plays. The mall seems to go on forever. You can restore sanity by riding the duck ride. Quarters for the duck ride can be found scattered around the environment. There is a shop full of guns but they're just textures on the wall and cannot be used.

The year is 2023. You've just received a mysterious VHS in the mail. It's your estranged wife begging you to come rescue her from an old, abandoned theme park that's been closed since the 1990s.

You equip yourself with your trusty EZ-Break claw hammer and a backpack full of clementine oranges and plunge into the nightmare world of 90s nostalgia.

The year is 1972, you are a sexy, sexy lady in your hippy finest, and must escape from a music festival gone wrong. Can you avoid the crazed and mutated music fans and the forces of the man who are coming to shut it all down and clean up the witnesses? Listen to groovy music to calm your heart rate from dangerous levels, take drugs to recover health but distort your perceptions, and equip yourself with tent pole spears and the contents of trashed concession stands. Engage in a free love lesbian dating sim that makes no sense in context but including it brought in 1000% more kickstarter money.
