Been playing a lot of horror game demos lately in hopes of finding something really good.
Baptiste
Set in a fairly isolated country home away from the city. It's pretty much a walking sim type horror game. Walk through the house, find little bits of lore and story scattered throughout in the forms of old photographs and letters, and interact with pretty standard game objects. Most interesting thing, however, is the doll/dummy you find as you explore the house. You get a jumpscare not long after coming across the dummy and then the demo ends. Really short, but I liked the setting and the whole dummy aspect. Reminded me a little bit of the underrated horror film Deadly Silence.
They Are Here
A little bit like Baptiste, it's a walking sim and it's really short. Great atmosphere and setting: Farmhouse surrounded by cornfields with lights in the sky. I'd buy this when the full game releases. Not too many UFO type horror games about.
HellMart
This isn't a walking sim like the above two games. Hellmart is a horror-sim type game. Start your day shift at the store, mop floors, scrub windows, stock the shelves and serve customers. Everything is pretty routine...and then the night shift starts. Customers will bang on the door and you have to use your judgement and decide if you should let them in or not. The setting is perfect. The store is in the middle of nowhere and it's hammering it down with snow. It's actually quite cosy during the day shift. Depending on price, I would absolutely buy this.
I've also reached chapter 3 in Final Fantasy Tactics. I bought Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden for £5 and I may start that on Friday night.

X-Mage MTG finally has the MTG Final Fantasy Cards. Made a deck of FF7 Heroes (and Heroines) and another deck of FF7 Villains then I played the good guy deck vs the bad guy deck controlled by X-Mage's excellent AI. Tifa got killed by Sephiroth then revived by Aerith but Cloud was nowhere to be seen lol but I had 2 of his buster sword cards in play thus assigned 1 to Tifa and another one to Aerith to take on Sephiroth, Sephy got beaten by the 2 ladies with buster swords, combo attack lol. During the second game Cloud was in play vs Sephiroth, Super fun. Recorded the match:

Dark Pictures Anthology House of Ashes
Not really digging it. The voice acting and animation seems kinda cheap. The story feels like trying too hard, choices every few minutes and completely intransparent in their outcomes, which is as satisfactory as flipping a coin, also throwing the supernatural into it from the start and not allowing any supense to build. I might have like it more if I got to know my characters a little bit more before any action happens.
Good thing is that you don't have to have played the previous ones of the series to jump in.
Still a few days left (until it leaves Plus service) to struggle through this and start Devil in Me too. I hope that one has a different feel to it.

Hoping to finally wrap up Triangle strategy, only to find out there's about five more chapters.
I'm admittedly rubbish at strategy games, but I find it irksome that you don't have more freedom in where you place your characters before commencing a battle.
The Securing whiteholm bridge stage just sets you up to fail.
I understand you're caught in a pincer movement, but it's still galling to be swamped in the first few turns because of a tiny area to organise your characters.
At least let me surround my Mages with tanks or something.
Won by cheesing the map with two archers taking pot shots above the portcullis.

In the Castle I would rather have Punisher's penetration (but it is too bad special is only 5x penetration instead of metal penetration). The DLC Sentinel Nine with scope is the overall best due to critical bonus (tied for 1st), rate of fire (2nd best), and clip capacity (1st).
