Horror Games

Hey everyone! I’m hunting for some terrifying indie horror titles to add to my gaming list. I’ve been really into this genre lately and want to discover more hidden gems.

Some games I’ve already enjoyed include:

  • Alisa
  • Crow Country
  • Little Nightmares series
  • SOMA
  • Visage
  • The Forest
  • Madison
  • Still Wakes the Deep
  • Tormented Souls
  • Song of Horror
  • World of Horror
  • Maid of Sker
  • Devotion
  • Don’t Be Afraid
  • Murder House
  • The Mortuary Assistant
  • Slay the Princess

I also love RPG Maker horror games like Mad Father, The Witch’s House, Corpse Party, IB, and Misao.

Classic horror games I’ve played include Fatal Frame, Silent Hill series, Resident Evil games, Rule of Rose, Clock Tower, Haunting Ground, Alone in the Dark, Forbidden Siren, Cry of Fear, and Parasite Eve.

I even enjoyed Subnautica for its creepy underwater atmosphere even though it’s not pure horror.

What would you suggest based on these preferences? Looking for something that will genuinely creep me out!

You should check out Phasmophobia for some great multiplayer scares or give The Dark Pictures Anthology a go for an awesome single player experience.

If you dug Subnautica’s creepy atmosphere, definitely check out Dredge. Same unsettling vibe but you’re fishing while dealing with cosmic horror stuff.

Try Inscryption if you want something really weird and unsettling, starts as a card game but gets wild

Since you love RPG Maker horror games, you’ve gotta play Omori if you haven’t yet. Looks innocent at first but gets seriously messed up - couldn’t stop thinking about it for weeks.

Signalis is exactly what you’re looking for. Classic survival horror vibes, gorgeous pixel art, and a really messed up story. Iron Lung’s another great pick if you want something quick but intense - you’re stuck in a sub navigating through a blood ocean and it’s genuinely scary as hell.
