You're trapped in an abandoned shopping mall. The twist? You're not trapped and the exit is right behind you. If you turn around and click on the doors the game end credits play. If you go deeper into the mall then an evil clown starts chasing you.

Your character is an indistinct blob that must escape the other indistinct blobs that want to smother and eat you. It turns out at the end that you are a bacteria on the face of a scary clown.

You are in what seems to be an abandoned hospital. Whimpering echoes through the halls. As you run you can hear the sad squeaking sound of clown shoes rubbing against linoleum. Are you being chased by an unknown entity? Suddenly, around the corner! It's the clown Pagliacci! On, no, wait... it's just a mirror.

The main monster is an Eldritch horror with Lovecraftian elements. It's so scary and unspeakable that you can't even look at it without going mad, your human mind can't comprehend such things.

In the third act you see the monster and it's just a whale with tentacles.

Haunted Cafeteria: Containment Breach.

You are a class-D employee at site 32. A containment breach of SCP-1443 has caused the cafeteria to become haunted by several instances of SCP-1443-A. Can you survive the night and restore order to prevent a Keter-level outbreak? HINT - clever use of SCP-556 will prevent the cognitohazard from SCP-2038 from erasing the audio logs with clues needed to proceed.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

You thought you were showing up your first down at clown college, but something seems off. The lights are all off, the doors are locked, and there's a strange green glow coming from the 3rd floor. You sneak in an open window and soon find yourself roaming the halls, trying to find the keys to enter the 3rd floor.

The whole time, you are stalked by your former classmates, transformed into horrific spooky clowns rather than horrific normal clowns. When you reach the 3rd floor you enter a floating doorway which warps you back to the beginning of the game.

It turns out you died at the beginning of the game and are trapped in hell.

one of the female characters has a pretty nice butt

the artist obviously spent a lot of time on it and it’s really shapely and realistic

it’s a very specific type of butt too, and not the current standard of butt that is considered the best kind of butt, it’s just been so lovingly sculpted that you can’t help but notice how great and inviting it looks and it’s on the screen almost constantly just pointed right at you

this butt shape is imprinted on by the current young generation that has unconsciously make it a deep, core cultural artifact (along with the RAAWR sound effect)

plastic surgeons start changing models to have a more RAAWR butt heave and cleft and multiple porn sites have names now like RAWERBUTTZ©️™️

the character is a clown

You wake up in a haunted insane asylum. Your feet have been chopped off so you can only hobble very slowly and with much bobbing of the camera. Journal entries and audio recordings scattered around the asylum slowly reveal that your character is the father of the same evil clown that has been chasing you throughout the game and all he wanted was to hug his father. Despite this, every time the clown "hugs" you before this final revelation results in player death but once you learn the final secret and the clown hugs you you don't die. The extended sequence where the clown chases you with a butcher knife all over the maze of mannequins on the asylum's second floor is left unexplained.

I'm not a real machine, but I am a real Hello-sayer.
At the beginning if the game you get a choice of what your weapon will be: a rusty steak knife or a broken bottle. But choose wisely! If you choose incorrectly, you will be able to get all the way to the end of the game, but you cannot win. The last piece of the final puzzle will not spawn, and you will get stuck and caught.

You are a badass space marine with an arsenal of futuristic weapons. You can run fast for an unlimited period of time and jump nearly your full height. You return home on leave to discover your parents' house is mysteriously empty, but the cars are still in the garage and warm food is uneaten on the kitchen table.

Explore the rooms and halls of your parents' unrealistically large and rambling suburban home. Use clues found in news clippings, audio recordings and journal entries to piece together the mystery of what happened to your family. You can fire all your weapons and the environment is fully destroyable, but there's no ammo or health refills.

There are also no enemies.

Can you refrain from blowing up your house long enough to solve the mystery?

In the end it turns out a serial killer dressed as a clown broke in and murdered your parents just moments before you walked in.

We've combined survival horror with procedural generation and kaizo platforming. Aggressive enemies that chase you down, 1 hit kills, you get a whole new level every time so there's no learning patterns.

Our load times on death are abysmal.

You're a good clown who's showing up for a job interview at the circus, but when you show up it turns out the circus has been abandoned for years! Now you're trapped and being chased by an evil clown.

Use journal entries to discover that actually the evil clown is a future version of you who got sent back in time and the evil clown has been trying to prevent you from stepping into the time portal and getting trapped in the past.

*Makes the game a boring metaphor for depression and trauma, constantly insists that the mechanics are dated because old games did everything better, make Twitter posts about how graphics were best during the PS2 era, uses an extremely played out and oversaturated low-fi PS1 aesthetic, music may as well be Silent Hill 2 fan music, spend half the dev process whining about AAA games on Twitter and how indie games are better and more unique despite creating a laborious and tedious rear end bomb of a game that is nothing but nostalgia service.*

relive your childhood as a mystery unravels, with hints of something darker in the background, as you use such old fashioned technology as an iphone 4s and physically plugging an aux cable to play music in a car that doesn’t yet have a mandatory backup camera in order to find clues on an obscure social media site called “The Facebook”

“I love these old timey retro settings! So quaint!! It’s just like Stranger Things” raves 20 year olds

Instead of audio logs let’s innovate by having your character find cell phones that only function to show the last TikTok recorded by its presumably dead owner before their battery dies.

You've been captured by Dr. Moreau. You wake up strapped to a surgery table. When you look down you discover your legs have been removed and replaced by a snail's pseudopod. You can no longer jump or run. You must escape the horrific island full of creepy human/animal hybrids including a demonic human/clown hybrid who stalks you throughout the game.

None of the human/animal hybrids are sexy in even the remotest way but there is a LOT of extremely pornographic fanart of them.

After a successful Kickstarter and buzz in the press a game based on Supernatural, the cult favorite CW horror-fantasy show that lasted for fifteen seasons, is released. Unfortunately due to Jensen Ackles unavailability owing to his involvement in the Rust film set shooting and other legal snafus, the game features only Sam and Castiel, neither voiced by their original actors. Reviews focus the atrocious load times, the absence of the iconic ‘69 Impala (Chevrolet was unwilling to license its property), and a plot line focused on the universally panned ‘Styne Family’, an ancient “family of Frankensteins” who make a brief appearance in season 10. Even hardcore fans of the series avoid the game as a small cohort of slash fiction authors who moderate the subreddit maneuver to quash discussion in response to developers refusal to make Sam and Cass kiss.

At some point, when escaping the clown and collecting VHS tapes, your character has to stick their hand in a box full of spiders, rusty razors and discarded needles.

"GUH!" They say in first person, as they lift their hand up to the screen and shake off the spiders, rusty razors and needles. "I don't wanna do that again!"

Their daughter is still missing.
