Twisted, the psychological horror game that messes with your perception of reality, was actually developed by a small indie team called Under the Stairs. I stumbled upon it during a deep dive into surreal horror titles, and wow, does it leave an impression. The way it blends glitch aesthetics with mind-bending puzzles feels like a love letter to 'Silent Hill' and 'PT,' but with its own twisted flavor (pun intended). Under the Stairs hasn't released much else, which makes this game even more intriguing—like a one-hit wonder that lingers in your nightmares.
What really hooked me was how it plays with player expectations. One minute you're solving a mundane puzzle, the next the walls are breathing. It's rare to find a game that commits so fully to its theme without overexplaining. Makes you wonder if the creators are secretly horror auteurs moonlighting as devs.
