Hey everyone! I’m a huge fan of indie horror games and I’m always on the lookout for new titles to play. There’s something about the creativity and unique atmosphere that smaller developers bring to the genre that really appeals to me. I’ve played some popular ones like Amnesia and Outlast, but I’m wondering if anyone has some hidden gems they’d recommend? What are your favorite indie horror games and why do you love them? I’m open to all kinds of horror subgenres, whether it’s psychological horror, survival horror, or something more experimental. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Dude, Little Nightmares is a must-play if you haven’t already. The art style is so unique and the whole vibe is just unsettling. It’s not jump-scare heavy, but the atmosphere will definitely get to you. Totally worth checking out.
Phasmophobia’s cool, but have you tried Visage?
Really nails that PT vibe. Psychological horror at its best.
Messes with your head in the best way.
Loved SOMA. The underwater setting is super creepy and the story gets under your skin. Frictional Games nailed the atmosphere. Layers of Fear is another good one if you’re into psychological horror with a trippy vibe.
Phasmophobia is pretty awesome for indie horror.
Co-op ghost hunting with friends. Genuinely spooky atmosphere.
Voice recognition adds a cool twist too.
Man, indie horror games are where it’s at. Have you tried Darkwood? That game is intense. Top-down view but still manages to be super creepy. The atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife.
And if you’re into retro-style stuff, check out World of Horror. It’s like old-school RPGs meets Lovecraftian horror. Pretty unique.
