Rides With Strangers is a psychological horror from Reflect Studios, which forces you to trust potential psychopaths. Jim found it absolutely terrifying, but also extremely clever. Remember, he’s not the only coward here, Miller and Dave are worse.

Rides With Strangers is a game about fear, not of monsters, but of the very people around us. Playing a stranded and vulnerable young woman, accepting a ride home could put you in mortal danger. The game is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter, and access to the demo comes with the basic $2 pledge.

It’s a cunningly and smartly designed game which taps into the deep social anxieties and late night fears we all sometimes feel, and brings them to the fore. Somehow, they’ve made sitting in a car for ten minutes utterly gripping.
