CANINE
CANINE is a first-person horror game with well-made, PSX-style wobbly visuals.
It tells the story of a boy looking for his dog kidnapped by an evil corporation running experiments on pets. In his search, he has to survive against a horrifying creature and escape.
Canine has stealth-focused gameplay where you survive against a stalker-type enemy. Think of the Xenomorph from Alien: Isolation or Mr. X from Resident Evil 2.
Surviving against this creature isn't the most complicated thing, but it can surely be tense sometimes because it can corner you quite easily.
You can use your trusty tennis ball to distract it, run, and hide in designated hiding places.
It has a B-movie type of narrative that doesn't go too much into detail while still managing to give you a compelling story.
Tomy, the boy's dog, is kidnapped by an evil corporation named Umbral. They conduct experiments on dogs to create the perfect demigod.
Throughout your survival inside this facility, you come across notes and environmental details to learn more about this harrowing story.
The game has PSX style, wibbly-wobbly visuals paired with a pretty good atmosphere. The sound design and the overall color palette really puts dread in your chest even before the game truly begins.
At its essence, the gameplay revolves around surviving against this creature while looking for switches around the facility. It's a place with smaller sub-sections that you go through while searching for these switches and other key items, of course, while also looking for Tomy.
Depending on the things you do in your playthrough, the game has two endings. It also has a scoreboard system that nudges you to try again and maybe speedrun the whole thing.
It has a generous checkpoint system, so it never gets annoying even if you're caught.
CANINE is great. I enjoyed this a lot and I'll probably go back to it to play some more, maybe go for a no-death run.
It's pretty cheap on Steam with Very Positive reviews. Confidently recommended.
Check it out here.

"its just so weird to me; how can someone (myself included) create something so very very good and yet have such egregious lapses? is it because we see too much, or not enough? i guess i know the answer to this...theres not just the forest, not just the trees, theres the roots, the incredible complex system of inspiration and thought that bubbles underneath, that looms so blindingly large in the artists mind but that the audience never sees. id like to take this blog out with one of my trademark "new hyperplatitudes", but am now plagued with doubts that those are artistically poor. and even more plagued by how exactly the phrase "forest for the trees" maps out metaphorically. too plagued to continue."
