We like our games fun and sometimes mindless, but some of you people like psychological horror games, which we can’t really imagine why. But hey, to each his own. In the game, you step into the lead character who wakes up from a nightmare, and finds out he’s still dreaming.

But if that’s what floats your boat…

Battle of Arrow
If you’re looking for a new action game to play on your mobile, Battle of Arrow is an interesting one. It’s an archery game, but wrapped around a PVP gameplay. You basically try to shoot your enemies’ heads off before they shoot yours. A lot of the archery happens on horseback, so that’s an added twist to the supposedly difficult task of shooting your opponent’s head off with an arrow. It’s available now, free to play – with in-app purchases of course.
