Why So Serious Inc., the company behind hit indie games like Needy Streamer Overload and Touhou Luna Nights, has launched a new indie label called Baron Du Juvenile. Along with this announcement, the studio has released two unique horror games on PC via Steam: Slay the Alice and Waiting in the Lime Forest.
Slay the Alice
Slay the Alice is a horror game with a simple yet interesting approach. The game eliminates complex mechanics like action or logic puzzles, focusing entirely on choices and mouse controls. You guide Alice, a young girl who stumbles into a strange world filled with talking plants and eerie paths.
The game plays out like a storybook, with a roguelike map where every choice leads Alice down branching paths. The charming pixel art and delightful animations contrast with the suspenseful atmosphere, creating a hauntingly cute experience. Players are invited to uncover multiple endings as they explore this mysterious world.
Waiting in the Lime Forest
On the other side, set in 1920s suburban America, Waiting in the Lime Forest takes you into the role of Edward, a lawyer determined to clear his friend Oliver’s name after a false murder accusation.
As you navigate the story, you must make critical choices that influence the outcome. Oliver’s fragile mental state adds tension, as every decision could lead to salvation or doom. The game’s point-and-click mechanics, combined with a multi-ending system, could immerse you in a gripping thriller where uncovering the truth is paramount.
