First-person survival horror SENARA: The Sacrament revealed

Scavenge resources, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth of a derelict ocean liner

Pangyo, South Korea – January 7th, 2025 – Indie developer Influsion Inc. have revealed their upcoming first-person survival horror game SENARA: The Sacrament. Set aboard a mysterious derelict cruise liner, you must survive and escape as it teeters on the edge of ruin. Players won’t have to wait long to experience its haunting atmosphere firsthand, with a playable demo planned for February.

Steam Store: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3915120/SENARA_The_Sacrament/

SENARA: The Sacrament puts players in the role of a new recruit of a religious organization with a massive 6,000-ton ship: the Senara. Upon setting sail you wake up to find the crew missing, while unspeakably horrors roam its steel corridors. Hidden cult rituals, forbidden truths, and survivors with their own agendas await you in the darkness. In a place where blind faith and salvation intertwine, you’ll be forced to make choices that go far beyond survival.

Hearkening back to classic survival horror design, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a massive escape room where you must solve puzzles and use limited resources to your advantage if you’re to get out alive. In order to get out of the Senara alive, you’ll have to ration your resources, make use of stealth, and make difficult decisions regarding when to fight or flee. Explore the complex, intertwined corridors of this structure based on a real ship, uncover hidden passages, and gather clues to find the key to your escape.

This unholy tale is open to interpretation with snippets of truth scattered across documents, objects, and conversations between characters. Depending on what you believe and how you interpret the clues, the story can unfold in entirely different directions. With multiple endings based on your choices, your decisions affect not only your escape but also the fate of the Senara and what truth comes to light.

Using LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Unity HDRP pipelines, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a scan of a real-life documentary-level accuracy 6,000-ton ship. This precise reality reconstruction naturally adds an ultra immersive, uncanny playspace for players to get lost in.

SENARA: The Sacrament is our love letter to classic survival horror titles that keep players shrouded in mystery and trapped in suspense,” said No-Jin Kwak, Director at Influsion Inc. “Using claustrophobic corridors, moody offshore atmosphere, limited resources, non-linear level design, and a fragmented story, we aim to create a terrifying experience that shakes players to their very core!”

Infusion is currently working on the single-player survival horror adventure SENARA: The Sacrament and the co-op survival horror game SAVE, currently available on Steam Early Access.

One player navigates scary levels while another guides them in asymmetrical horror game Follow Us

Communication is key in this horrifying and hilarious co-op creepfest

Paris, France – January 7th, 2025 – Game Atelier, the acclaimed studio behind Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, have revealed their upcoming asymmetrical horror game Follow Us. In this hilarious and horrifying relationship stress test, one player explores a spooky environment, while another guides them remotely from the van, trying to keep their partner alive. 

Each round lets players choose whether they want to play as the intrepid Explorer – who bravely navigates a deadly, haunted map – or the Operator, who hangs back to guide their comrade and hack the playspace to protect them. Built on communication rather than complex mechanics, Follow Us creates tension by combining two different things – isolation and connection with a partner.

Every mission explores a different type of fear, from psychological tension to pure dread. The Explorer experiences isolation and danger in the field, while the operator suffers through helplessness and constant pressure. Every swap creates a fresh emotional scenario, making each playthrough completely different with unexpected communication conflicts guaranteed to create creepy co-op chaos! 

“With Follow Us we wanted to build a horror game where communication is the key to survival,” said FeiBi at Game Atelier. “Every mission becomes a live stress test for friendship and relationships. Friends and couples alike may find the game generating unexpected hilarious and horrifying reactions as players switch roles and power dynamics. Furthermore, the asymmetrical nature of the game makes it perfect for players where one player likes being spooked, while the other prefers a more casual, albeit chaotic, experience of overseeing an operation from afar. So there’s something for everyone!” 

About Game Atelier: 
Founded in 2010, Game Atelier is an independent studio with AAA-indie expertise, dedicated to crafting player-focused action-adventure games that blend creativity with technical craftsmanship. The team is known for standout titles like Flying Hamster and the acclaimed Monster Boy, alongside commissioned projects such as the UE5-powered Otherskin.

Nurture a National Defense Hamster in Tower Defender MOCHI-O on PC Jan 19

TOKYO — Jan. 6, 2026 — MOCHI-O, the adorable apocalyptic tower defense shooter adventure developed by Zxima and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab, repels an enemy invasion on Mon, Jan. 19th, 2026 on PC via Steam.

Meet MOCHI-O, the world’s cutest doomsday defense system! Foster fur-ocious firepower, raising a weapon of mass destruction that gains combat prowess through positive affirmations, cuddles, and a steady diet of seeds. Unravel a warm story filled with good-humored banter, keeping things light in a post-apocalyptic world.

Unleash destructive havoc against incoming threats to save the nation from collapse. Grab the tiny hamster, point it towards approaching enemies, and watch MOCHI-O obliterate approaching enemy ships with its ever-evolving abilities in tower defense-style combat. 

Outfit MOCHI-O with various weapons and abilities, and feast on bundles of seeds dropped by defeated foes to gain XP. Collect enough seeds to level up MOCHI-O’s base attributes, like firing rate, crit chance, attack range, and cooldown reductions to create a custom playstyle.

As the caretaker’s bond with MOCHI-O increases, so does its firepower! Outside of battle, encourage MOCHI-O with pets, feeding, and decorate its room to create an ideal environment for bonding to unlock upgrades and new weapons. 

MOCHI-O’s a comedic, lighthearted take on the end of the world with a ‘gentle doomsday’ aesthetic, but its cuteness is matched by its gameplay depth,” says developer Zximia. “The nurturing system leads to many different metas and playstyles, with plenty of content for newcomers to the genre as well as for tower defense aficionados.”

Lost Souls Interactive Announces Hotel Espir — A Southern Gothic Horror Game About Sin, Silence, and Survival Coming Halloween 2026 to PC

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada — January 06, 2026 — Lost Souls Interactive has announced its debut title, Hotel Espir, a single-player horror game where every sound can be your undoing. Set in 1942 Alabama, the game blends stealth mechanics, religious themes, and story-driven puzzles to tell a story about inherited violence and the ghosts we create.

Players step into the shoes of Charles Lemek, a traveling father trying to make it home before his daughter is born. His final stop, Hotel Espir, is a grand hotel with a century of secrets and blood. As the night unfolds, guests disappear and a vengeful ghost hunts by sound alone. To survive, players must move quietly, solve cryptic puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the hotel’s cursed history.

“We wanted to make a horror game where silence is as important as movement,” says William Kiley, Creative Director at Lost Souls Interactive. “Every sound is a risk. Every step could draw something closer.”


Key Features

  • Stay Silent, Stay Alive — The poltergeist is blind but hunts through sound.
  • Solve Deadly Puzzles — Crack coded letters, unlock clues, and piece together the Johnson family’s history.
  • Discover the Horror — Explore five floors of Hotel Espir and uncover what really happened a century ago.
  • Permanent Consequences — Death on the lower floors is final. No second chances.

About Hotel Espir
A narrative-driven horror experience combining stealth, puzzle-solving, and psychological tension. Built in Unity, Hotel Espir focuses on atmosphere and character-driven storytelling rather than jump scares.


About Lost Souls Interactive
Lost Souls Interactive is an independent studio founded in 2024. Based in Halifax, Canada, with team members in North America and Europe, the studio creates horror games about people, not monsters. Their work focuses on tragic villains, dark places, and the human motives behind fear. Hotel Espir is the studio’s first title.
