Hey everyone! I’m a small content creator who just wrapped up playing through some classic horror titles. Now I’m hunting for some really good indie horror experiences that will genuinely frighten me. I want to avoid the super popular mainstream stuff since my audience loves discovering hidden gems. I’m looking for games that will make me jump out of my chair and maybe embarrass myself on stream with my reactions. I enjoy both atmospheric horror with deep storytelling and games packed with jump scares. If you know any underground horror titles that are absolutely terrifying, please drop your suggestions below. Thanks in advance for the help!
The Dark Pictures games really ramp up the tension. Little Hope had me second-guessing every choice I made, which added to the overall creepiness.
Try The Mortuary Assistant if you want something that messes with your head outside the game too
Madison will mess you up. That game had me genuinely scared to keep playing.
Iron Lung hits hard even though it’s like an hour long. You’re trapped in this beat-up sub floating on literal blood and it just keeps getting more intense. Chants of Sennaar’s worth grabbing too - has this creepy cult atmosphere that really sticks with you. Neither game’s mainstream but they’ll get your chat going for sure.
Visage was a wild ride. It’s like PT but way longer and super creepy. The atmosphere gets into your head and just lingers. Definitely a game that’ll have you on edge.
