The nights are getting darker, the weather is getting harsher… Can you feel it? Halloween is almost here, and there’s never been a better excuse to turn off the lights, lock the doors, and play something that fills your head with dread and despair.
Luckily, we have you covered. From doomed spaceships and apocalyptic paranoia to Antarctic cooking, CRITICAL REFLEX delivers all kinds of indie weirdness.
In today’s ID@XBOX and IGN Showcase, we revealed that three more of our unconventional indie hits are coming to XBOX, with two arriving just in time for Halloween, and one more bringing its own particular brand of paranoia to the platform in 2027.
Critically-acclaimed psychological horror hit Mouthwashing is coming to XBOX Series X|S and Game Pass at the end of the month – don’t miss one of the most talked-about indie horror games of recent years.
Meanwhile, Arctic Eggs is on XBOX Series X|S today, and asks a much more important question: can you make an omelette out of eggs, bullets and beer bottles?
And then there’s No, I’m Not a Human (coming in 2027), where the end of the world is happening outside your front door, and absolutely everyone looks suspicious.
So get ready for plenty of terrifying gameplay on XBOX.
Prepare for One of Indie Horror’s Most Talked-About Nightmares
There are horror games that scare you. And then there’s Mouthwashing.
Developer Wrong Organ’s psychological horror hit takes place aboard doomed space freighter The Tulpar, where five crew members are left stranded with dwindling supplies, no hope of rescue, and plenty of secrets.
Since launching on PC in 2024, Mouthwashing has sold more than 800,000 copies and picked up multiple awards, including Best Narrative and Players’ Choice at the Horror Game Awards.
Explore the dying ship, uncover the crew’s fractured history, and piece together exactly what happened aboard the Tulpar.
The deeper you go, the harder it becomes to tell delusion from reality – and the more uncomfortable the answers get.
Whether you’ve already experienced Mouthwashing or somehow managed to miss out on the PC phenomenon, October 29 is your chance to find out what all the screaming is about.
Mouthwashing launches on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX On PC, XBOX One, and XBOX Game Pass on October 29, 2026.
Can You Fry Eggs On Top of Mount Everest?
Arctic Eggs has scrambled its way onto XBOX Series X|S today!
The Water Museum’s surreal cooking game drops you into a bizarre Antarctic city where eggs, beer bottles, bullets, and pretty much anything else you can find can become an ingredient.
It’s strange, funny, surprisingly satisfying, and makes you really appreciate how much precision and effort goes into frying an egg (or any remotely egg-shaped object).
And there’s no waiting around to play it. Arctic Eggs is available now on XBOX Series X|S.
Knock Knock… Who’s There?
The apocalypse has transformed the outside world into a deadly wasteland, leaving you with one simple rule:
Stay inside.
Unfortunately, people keep knocking.
Interrogate your visitors, look for signs that something isn’t quite right, and decide who gets to come inside. Just make sure you choose correctly.
Developer Trioskaz’s viral paranoia horror No, I’m Not A Human has already sold more than one million copies on PC, and is coming to XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One, and XBOX Game Pass in 2027.
