Quick and unique scary games for short sessions

Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for some cool scary games that I can play in short bursts. You know, the kind you can finish in one night or easily start and stop. I’m really into games that bring something new to the table. Not a fan of walking sims or RPGs anymore (sorry, Omori!).

I’ve enjoyed stuff like Home Safety Hotline, Inscryption, and the Toree games. The Closing Shift was pretty neat too. Oh, and the I Am Nima demo was awesome! FAITH and Killing Floor 1 hit the spot as well. Slay the Princess and Homicipher were also right up my alley.

What other games do you guys think I should check out? I’m all ears for your suggestions! Looking for something that’ll give me the creeps but won’t eat up too much of my time. Thanks in advance!

Spooky’s Jump Scare Mansion might be right up your alley.

Short levels, unique art style, and it mixes cute with creepy really well.

Plus, you can save after each floor if you need to take a break.

Yo, Little Nightmares is worth checking out. Short chapters, creepy atmosphere, and you can easily save between areas. The art style is unique too. Gives me the chills without taking forever to play through.

Layers of Fear is perfect for short sessions.

Each chapter is like a bite-sized nightmare.

The constantly shifting environment keeps you on edge.

You can easily pause between chapters too.

Man, you’ve got good taste! For quick scares, try Darkwood. It’s intense and you can play in short sessions. Phasmophobia is also great if you want some multiplayer spooks. Oh, and don’t sleep on Doki Doki Literature Club if you haven’t played it. Looks cute, but it’ll mess with your head. Just make sure you’ve got time to decompress after!

Sounds like you’ve played some really cool stuff! Have you tried Five Nights at Freddy’s? It’s perfect for short sessions and still freaks me out. The jump scares get me every time. Plus, each night ramps up the tension.
