Slayaway Camp 2: Netflix & Kill

Leave no survivors. In this sequel, you're Skullface, a killer stuck inside a retro horror movie catalog — solve puzzles, stalk victims and get stabby. So, somebody thought it would be a great idea to summon Skullface, Slayaway Camp's violentest killer, and now he's trapped inside a very familiar-looking streaming service. That means hundreds of potential new victims splattered across classic movie genres, and — let's face it — those unsuspecting innocents aren't going to decapitate themselves. Your hall pass for retro horror awaits!

Shadow & Bone: Enter the Fold

The game follows the story of Riley Poverly, an environmental researcher who returns to her hometown Camena to investigate unnaturally occurring radio frequency signals causing disturbances in electronic equipment throughout the small coastal town. What she encounters is more than she bargained for: shadowy cult members, ghostly radio signals, and spacetime portals. Investigate a dark new mystery in this interactive story game, which has been praised by critics for its engaging narrative, relatable characters and haunting sound design. Available exclusively for Netflix members on mobile. Also available for PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
