The Generation GapWhat our critics say

This 2001 PC horror FPS, penned by Clive Barker himself, plunged players into a chilling gothic estate. Its blend of arcane magic and conventional firearms, coupled with truly disturbing creature design, created an oppressive atmosphere few games have matched since. Undying wasn't just a shooter; it was an experience in dread, a masterclass in psychological horror often overshadowed by more mainstream titles. It's a shame it never received a sequel.

It's a masterclass in unsettling, atmospheric terror.
