Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for some seriously scary survival horror games. I’ve played a bunch but only a few really got under my skin. Cry of Fear and Silent Hill 2 are my top picks. I’ve also enjoyed other Silent Hill games, Forbidden Siren, Fatal Frame 3, and Manhunt.
I’ve tried popular series like Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Outlast, but they didn’t really scare me. I just finished Amnesia: The Dark Descent and it felt more like a walking simulator with puzzles than a horror game.
What I’m after is a game that’s genuinely frightening, but where I can fight back instead of just running away. I prefer survival horror over action-heavy gameplay. Any suggestions for games that fit the bill? I’d love to hear your recommendations!
Layers of Fear is worth a shot if you’re into psychological horror. It’s not super action-packed, but the atmosphere is top-notch. The game messes with your head in some cool ways. Might not be exactly what you’re after, but it’s pretty creepy.
If you’re into old-school vibes, check out Tormented Souls. It’s got that classic survival horror feel with fixed camera angles and resource management. Pretty creepy atmosphere too. Not the scariest game ever, but it might scratch that itch for genuine horror without being too action-heavy.
Alien: Isolation might be right up your alley. It’s got that survival horror vibe, but you can actually fight back sometimes. The AI is super smart too, keeps you on edge the whole time. Definitely scarier than most games out there.
