Stranded

Stranded is a short horror survival machinima created by Alvin Soprano, made using The Sims 2: Castaway. After a shipwreck, a Sim regains consciousness on a remote tropical island with no memory of how he got there. He begins to gather supplies, search for shelter, and attempt to send signals for help. But as time passes, eerie signs begin to emerge — strange carvings in the rocks, whispers in the jungle, and footsteps that don't belong to him. As his grip on reality begins to slip, the Sim must face the possibility that the island isn’t uninhabited — and that something is watching him.

STARVED is a post-apocalyptic psychological horror machinima by Alvin Soprano, created in Fallout 3. Set in the desolate ruins of the Capital Wasteland, the film explores the descent into madness of a lone survivor trapped in an abandoned metro tunnel — cut off from food, light, and hope.

Her radio is dead, her flashlight battery fading, and all exits are sealed. Days pass. Hunger gnaws. Water runs out. Rats scurry, but offer no salvation.
