Kraków, Poland (Oct 7, 2026) – The horror specialists at Black Lantern Collective have teamed up with The Horror Game Awards to highlight nine titles from the publisher’s upcoming roster in this year’s Halloween Showcase, Harvest of Terror. Three brand new demos are available right now for Kopernicus: Incremental Suffering, The Fatum, and Paluah’s Trench. We’ve announced new partnerships to publish Hollow Ones and Human.exe. And, we have a pile of trailers to show what thrills we have coming in the near future.

Check out the full recap of everything shown from Black Lantern Collective in today’s event.

Kopernicus: Incremental Suffering

Announcement: Demo Out Now
​Developer: Simon Lukasik

Stranded on a strange planet with little more than a lighter and an aerosol can, you have to improvise to survive the ceaseless horrors born from your memories. The 2-bit top-down gameplay appears deceptively simple at first, but Kopernicus holds nothing back, pushing your psyche to the limits with overwhelming odds and unflinchingly gruesome deaths. Rebuild your base, grow your arsenal piece by piece, and face your past as you endure night after night of monstrous hordes. Head to Steam now to play the demo for yourself.

Your Debt is Paid

Reminder: Game Reveal
​Developer: cmski

If you missed last week’s announcement, today’s show offers another look at Your Debt is Paid. The incremental fantasy horror game sees you delving into monster-infested dungeons in order to repay an ever-increasing blood debt to your enigmatic captor. As long as you can satisfy his bloodlust, he’ll bring you back for another round, but each run costs more than the last. Fall in battle with insufficient funds, and you’ll meet a permanent end.

Nightmare House

Developer: We Create Stuff

The creators of In Sound Mind and the original Nightmare House mod for Half-Life 2 are still cooking on this full-fledged reimagining of the first-person horror game. With physics-based destruction and directional axe swings, combat and traversal are visceral affairs as you smash your way through the house as well as a few zombie skulls. New secrets await and dynamic scares mean you can never be too comfortable when you turn that next corner. More Nightmare House is coming soon, so don’t sleep on it.
