A fantastic collection of five well presented free-to-play horror shorts. The games avoid being reliant on cheap scares, focusing on creating a dread-filled atmosphere with dark corners and metallic sound design that left me with an unsettled feeling that continued afterward.

The primary theme of each game is operating machinery, usually in claustrophobic rust-aged spaces, figuring out how individual components work and fit together. Despite their similarities in gameplay mechanics, each story is able to provide a different and thought provoking encounter.

The games have fairly standard keyboard and mouse controls with no option to change them. Most of the games have at least one ‘timed sequence’ where the player must complete their task before it finishes. I only failed one of these sequences (in Carbon Steel) and there wasn't any real consequence outside of restarting at a checkpoint, can't speak for the other games.

I didn’t experience any major bugs but the buttons didn’t line up for click locations in ‘Concrete Tremor’ (possibly due to my screen resolution 3440x1440), however this did not prevent me from being able to complete this story. (This is also the only game in this anthology that I didn’t like).

Unsorted Horror is absolutely worth the time of any horror fan, with each of the experiences lasting between 5 and 30 minutes and one achievement awarded per completion of each game.
