The gameplay revolves around switching between the members of the news crew, who all posses certain items that can be used for solving puzzles and exploring the mansion. Not only is the mansion you explore creepy enough, the encounters with the creatures in Sweet Home are particularly unsettling when encountered in the RPG turn-based battle system. Members of the news team can also die permanently in the game, making traversing the twisted creatures and traps of the mansion particularly terrifying.
Released by Sierra On-Line in , Phantasmagoria was one of the bloodiest and most violent games released at the time. The victim of substantial delays and eventually released on seven CD-ROMs which I remember having to swap when playing it as a kid , the game was a commercial success and is still deeply unsettling to this day.
A point and click, live action horror game that follows a successful novelist and her husband after they move into a massive mansion that was previously owned by a famous magician whose five wives all died mysteriously. You see where this is going. Even though the puzzles can be a bit simple, the games particularly gory death scenes and supernatural flair make it stand up to the horror games of You play as Steve, a young man with no idea how he ended up in the bizarre town of Harvest, a freaky little s hamlet filled with macabre neighbors and townsfolk.
A point-and-click affair, you must commit several crime-related tasks in order to join the Lodge, a mysterious club located in a massive building in the middle of the town. The game was initially a commercial failure due to it being delayed for almost two years. It has now reached cult status thanks to, what was at the time and continues to be extremely disturbing and violent content. Any game that features children eating their own mother definitely still has the ability to scare gamers today.
In addition to fighting and avoiding the mutated crew, the onboard AI that controls the whole ship named SHODAN tries its best to kill the player in some extremely terrifying ways. Fleeing from a group of rampant, deformed crew members —armed with only a wrench and a shot of adrenaline — the game is scary because of the experiences that gamers can create for themselves. System Shock II is more than a compilation of set pieces full of jump scares. One of the most obscure, and somehow prominent, horror video game series ever made Splatterhouse rules.
Like still really rules. The Splatterhouse series follows Rick Taylor, an evil mask wearing badass who beats the living poop out of all types of twisted monsters and demons with a variety of weapons, in his endless search for his girlfriend, Jennifer. On top of the superb gameplay mechanics, the game is genuinely creepy for a variety of reasons. The sound design is excellent, with howls and screams framing the extremely disturbing environments and creatures.
Rick will fight bloated mounds of flesh, possessed teddy bear demons, and corpse eating jacked humanoid frights that are as unsettling as they are challenging. With the amalgam of all of these elements, the Splatterhouse franchise is truly a gem of the retro era. Forza Horizon 5 addresses you by the name on your Microsoft account, but for some trans players, that has unexpected consequences.

Inside's vision of a cruel dystopian world that's out to kill you at all times is extraordinary, even if the moment-to-moment platforming is pretty familiar and can be frustrating. You're mainly playing it to experience the setting, really. See also Little Nightmares, a similar type of horror platformer that isn't as scary but is arguably just as inventive.
But it's also a tough one to pitch, because much of its terror lies in the surprises that shouldn't be ruined by a meagre word-long recommendation. Know that it borrows from 90's horror games via its aesthetic and fourth wall-breaking, file-bothering makeup; and that it consistently strives to surprise and keep players guessing. Understand that it'll play with your emotions, and drop you into a confused and confusing world while incessantly goading you till its final breath.
Don't expect jump scares, but do expect to be scared enough to jump from your chair. If you think we're at all grandstanding here, please be our guest and give it a try. We'll be hiding behind the couch. A rhythm action nightmare in which you play a silver beetle speeding down a track into the mouth of a huge demented boss head.
Death comes quickly. Miss a couple of turns and you're dashed into a million glittering pieces against the courses metal banks. Miss a beat in the gaze of the ring-shaped guard robots and they'll hurtle towards you, lasers blazing. All the while the ambient soundtrack pulses uneasily and the the rhythms become faster, and more erratic.
The effect is one of tense, compressed dread. Probably best to play Thumper in short bursts only. It was the first game to really push the idea of horror narratives as subjective, fluid and untrustworthy things, with a story that invites interpretation and a semi-sentient city that warps and shifts itself to fit the damaged psyches of its inhabitants.
The confusing cult nonsense of the first and third games was pushed to the backburner for the more personal story of a psychologically damaged widower battling his way through a foggy purgatory populated by zombie-things, dog-things, and whatever the hell Pyramid Head was.
Whereas the likes of Silent Hill and Fatal Frame rely on radios to alert players to otherworldly adversaries, Sylvio uses sound, EVP electronic voice phenomenon and audio manipulation as its central ideas. Not only that, the game builds its entire gorgeously creepy world around this principle theme as players strive to uncover its backstories, bizarre plot twists, and insights into its unsettling unknown—all of which is backed up by some stellar voice acting.
Generic first-person horror this ain't, and while it does occasionally force tedious combat set pieces upon players, it thrives in its quirky, idiosyncratic moments that are filled with atmosphere and character and dread.
Sylvio is a thinking game and is unique within the horror genre. Horror games owe a significant debt to HP Lovecraft, and not just because he's long dead and his work is out of copyright. Plenty of games too many, really have included references to his brand of cosmic horror, but Anchorhead is more inspired than most, drawing from several of his novels and stories to tell the tale of the a married couple who have inherited an old mansion in a creepy New England town.
The sedate exploration of the game's opening segments eventually give way to tense, turn-limited puzzles as you struggle to stop an ancient, possibly world-ending ritual from being completed. No pressure then. It's free, and you can play it in your browser. Amnesia: The Dark Descent is great, but if you've already played it or don't mind skipping ahead, the much more recent Amnesia: Rebirth is brilliant, too—and it even turns the horror up a few notches with a "profoundly disturbing" story, as Leana described it in our review.
Prepare yourself for an eldritch nightmare amid somewhat dated but still scary design and environments.
