Contraption

Strange machinery breathes in the stillness of the laboratory. Bubbles rise in a mysterious green liquid. Cogs click. Gears clank. What happened here? Somebody left the room in a hurry. But why? Your eyes grow accustomed to the dim, dusty light, and you begin to make out the discarded pieces of arcane mechanisms. There has to be a pattern, a code, something to show you the way out.

Howitz

A tragic loss. A happy family destroyed. A desperate man, irresistibly drawn to dark forces. As the door slams shut behind you, you’re trapped in the world of Eli Howitz, an enigmatic figure whose gut-wrenching story pervades every millimetre of the room. Just what happened in Eli’s toy shop? You’ve heard the rumours. You know the horror stories off by heart. But how much truth is there in the police report? Can there really be ritualistic carvings on the walls? They say there were glowing symbols, and toys that whirred, clicked, and span on their own…

Update 17th March 2024: The Butcher has now closed.

The Butcher

Anna is daring and inquisitive, Max is sensible. She encourages him to try new things. He stops her from doing stupid stuff. USUALLY. But not today. Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s the wine. Because today, when Anna finds a randomly-unlocked shutter on a random side street, Max isn’t quick enough to persuade her not to go inside. His mind is on the picnic they’ve just had, the kisses they’ve shared. So what if Anna is intent on seeking out some new dark and gloomy place to scare him with. It’s just Anna being Anna, right? This is why he loves her. It’s just an adventure. A dare. It’ll be OK. And then the shutter bangs down, and everything is very far from OK.

Reactorvate

You are entering an abandoned nuclear power plant on the small island nation of Stokovia, a country plagued with power issues, rolling blackouts and civil unrest. 30 years ago the people of Stokvia were promised clean and efficient power from DAN CORP, an independent nuclear plant contractor. This was the lifeline that the country needed. But once the plant was built it was quickly abandoned after a “meltdown”. Now guards roam the property and no one is allowed near. Rumours have been rife for years that the meltdown was faked and that DAN CORP’s eccentric owner, Dan Johnson, took Stokovia’s money and ran. With the help of Stokovian natives, your task is to break into the facility, start up the reactor, collect the data and prove DAN CORP was lying, while also bringing power to the people of Stokovia. You have only a one-hour window before the guards return… time is running out!
