Creepy Adventure Game with Retro Aesthetics
Bucky's Grounds: Pre-Alpha is a free adventure game that stands out with its unique VHS-like retro styling and chilling atmosphere. Set in a mysterious playground, players assume the role of Bucky, investigating the eerie disappearance of children. The game employs first-person horror mechanics, allowing players to explore a maze-like environment filled with secrets and clues.
