What changed in Fliinch’s free horror games. https://fliinch.com/news/ 2026-10-02T15:19:00.000Z Fliinch https://fliinch.com/news/#hr-scares 2026-10-02T15:19:00.000Z

The house doesn’t wait for you to break a rule any more. From the first room it is out to frighten you: a breath at your ear, and when you turn round, someone standing right behind you. A figure at the end of the corridor who isn’t there when you look again. Something crawling across the ceiling. The lights dying, and every chair turned to face you when they come back. Every room is worse than the one before, and in the Lady’s rooms it never lets up. Meet the Lodger: starved, in a torn grey nightgown, her long black hair over her face. She took the room at the top of the house a long time ago, and never left. She can’t hurt you, and nothing she does breaks a house rule. She only has to frighten you. The dead of the house go down heavier now, and without the screaming. And if you would rather play it calmer, SCARES (on the title and in the pause menu) switches the house’s scares off. The rules, the Butler and the fights stay. Three new trailers came with it: “It gets worse”, “Check the ceiling” and “Not real”.

Every time you fight him off now, he comes back worse. The mask cracks, he runs faster, holds on harder and lets go sooner, and at the end there is nothing of him left. Sixteen jump scares are waiting in the house: a face at the window, something crawling out of the TV, the lights going out one by one and then yours. They never come twice in a row, and never while he is already on you.

“Fight him off”, the new chase and the fight, and “When you look away”, the house’s horrors and the safe’s six numbers. Both are on the trailers page now, with the song.

He doesn’t walk any more. He runs, and on all fours he is faster than you. When he gets his hands on you it’s a fight: mash E (or A on a controller, or tap on a phone) to shove him off, then run. The third grab in the same chase, there’s no fight left. Your own breathing is quieter too, so you can hear him coming.

Our third game: ten rooms of a castle on a hill, one house rule in each, and the Butler who comes when you break one. He can’t be hurt. Fight with your fists or anything you can lift. Free in your browser, on your phone, or with a PS5, PS4, Xbox or Switch Pro controller. Five trailers came with it.

The night doesn’t end at the Tower’s doors any more. Ride the glass elevator until it stops at 311 metres, climb the emergency stair, cross the glass floor at 342, slip past dinner at 351, and get out onto the roof at 451. Then hold on until the sun comes up. Later that day: a map in the corner, the prompts big in the middle of the screen, and the sound comes back by itself after an interruption.

The flood clocks are about a fifth shorter. The monsters are quicker and sharper from G deck up, and get worse faster deck by deck. There is a new watcher at the end of the passage, more footsteps behind you, and more light in the boiler room.

No more “turn sideways” card: ABYSS plays upright now, with a wider view on tall screens. And the woman in Cabin 47 comes to you if you don’t turn round to see her.

Leaving the game pauses it now. The water is fairer, the Bride gives you a moment’s warning, and you drown exactly at 00:00.

King & John, 3:40 AM, in the rain, down John Street toward the CN Tower: the crash across the road, the noodle bar, the rail bridge with its chained gate. Blind things in the street, and they hear your microphone.

ABYSS lives at fliinch.com/abyss now, free in your browser and on Windows: a monster on every deck, the Captain behind you, and three lives to get to the top.
