The label is known for edgy works such as 'Mouthwashing', a horror game set on a wrecked space cargo ship, and 'Buckshot Roulette', both praised for atmosphere and gameplay. The first new addition, 'Grindset T.V.', is an open-world first-person speedrun platformer developed by INFINITE ANIMAL. Players complete delivery tasks in a distorted world using grinding, wall-running, and dashing, with online rankings and ghost functions. The second title, 'Tiny Chills - Not From Ear', is a body horror game from Ducktopus Games set in the town of Velviano, where players explore the ears of patients complaining of tinnitus and remove objects that should not be there.
