What do we have this week to play on mobile? Slender Rising is full of scares based on the popular Slender Man myth; Marvel Avengers Academy puts you in charge of a superhero academy, and Super Phantom Cat is a platformer with a fun little cat. All that and more!

Dark Echo

Dark Echo: Trapped in the darkness, you must use sound to guide yourself through threatening environments. The sounds you create will bounce off obstacles, revealing the shape of the surrounding world. It won't be long before your only way of sensing the world attracts a horrible evil that devours sound and souls. Explore a mysterious world through sound in Dark Echo and survive through eighty levels that will make your heart race and leave you with an irrational fear of red lines. A foreboding soundscape, best enjoyed with headphones, sets the tone for a journey into darkness. Explore, solve puzzles, and most importantly: stay alive. Developed by RAC7, Dark Echo is available on iOS and Android.

Pickman's Model

Pickman's Model: Adaptation of the story \"Pickman's Model\" by master of horror H.P. Lovecraft. Pickman's Model presents Thurber on his journey through the secret workshop of the disgraced painter Richard Upton Pickman, located in the old 'North End' neighborhood, where he is guided through a maze of ruined and dark streets of the city of Boston. Focused on the story of the same name, this adventure features a point-and-click interface accompanied by a gloomy and tense atmosphere. It is a short graphic adventure that can be completed in minutes, and it is in Spanish. Developed by New Focus Games, Pickman's Model is available exclusively on Android.

Slender Rising

Slender Rising: Based on the popular internet myth, here you must avoid the dangerous entity known as Slender Man. Slender Rising takes place in a closed and labyrinthine location, such as an old cemetery or a desolate city, focused on searching for signs all over the map. The signs are scattered randomly around the map, and to find them you must rely on whispers you hear when you are near one. While doing so, you must avoid Slender Man, as he will stalk you as you move around the stage. In fact, he can teleport near where you are, and when that happens you must avoid looking at him, quickly turning your view elsewhere or you will be killed (and lose the round). Developed by Michael Hegemann, Slender Rising is available exclusively on iOS.

Super Phantom Cat

Super Phantom Cat: Controlling a little cat, you have to explore the levels to collect stars and coins, and reach the end of the stage. With a simple premise, Super Phantom Cat is a retro-style platformer where you have to traverse different galaxies, discovering hidden paths and gathering data to unlock new characters. There are enemies you must avoid by jumping, various objects that will help you along the way, and secret areas to find and explore. This title is absolutely charming, and as perfect as a platformer can be. Developed by Veewo Games, Super Phantom Cat is available on iOS and Android.
