Microbial Sector is a FREE and SHORT indie horror that does a competent scare. Made by Danish indie developer, this little project is proof the dev understands how to make decent horror. The game pulls you in with its build-up, atmosphere and sound design in order to unnerve you enough, so that when the inevitable jumpscare slaps you in the face, it is far more effective. I say that is very well done! I think horror games should be shorter by their nature due to the inherent lack of replayability of the genre. Microbial Sector did indeed leave an impression. Worth checking out.
[h1] Spot different anomalies on plant samples and compare them to database on your PC. You have to tag them correctly otherwise start over. Story is super short and after a few examinations it's game over. General atmosphere is a bit spooky but feels kind of unfinished. Worth checking out because it's different, but not good enough to recommend to everyone. [/h1]

This game was actually so good. I wish there was more of it. My first run I got fired because I wasn't paying close enough attention and my 2nd run I got jumpscared like crazy. The achievements are very easy to get if you just play through the game. 9.5/10

Sometimes the simplest games hit the hardest. The atmosphere in this prison-like facility was done just right. I played this after playing a demo for another game from this dev. Now I want to play all of his games badly. They have talent for weird and mean little horror games it seems.
Неплохая игруля на вечерок: приятный ввизуал, намек на хоррор, даже почувствовал себя лаборантом с микроскопом.

nice horror game, great atmosphere
Very short for sure, but the athmosphere of this game alone turns this game into a decent horror experience! With 6 different endings you are able to discover the secrets of a laboratory and like you can already imagine this is going to be a job, you won't forget that fast! I can recommend this game without a doubt to any kind of horror enthusiasts, but just for being fair I warn about one potential jumpscare in this game.
A quick, fun, engaging horror game that has the same feel as games like IRON LUNG.
Great little game, wish there was more of it. Seems like a very interesting world to have more happen in.
