Hey everyone! I’m a big fan of indie and mascot horror games. I’ve got tons of matchup ideas for these kinds of games. Like, seriously, I’ve come up with about 20 different matchups just for PowerPoint Presentations (PPT) alone! I’m really curious to hear what your favorite indie or mascot horror series is. Once you share, I’ll give you three matchups from that series that I think are pretty cool. It’ll be fun to swap ideas and see what creative fights we can come up with! So go ahead and drop your favorite series below. I’m excited to see what you all like and share some of my ideas too. Let’s get this horror matchup brainstorm going!
Five Nights at Freddy’s is my top pick for indie horror. The animatronics are so creepy and the jump scares get me every time. I’ve played all the main games and even some fan-made ones. What matchups do you have in mind for FNAF?
Amnesia series for me. Those games mess with your mind.
Love the dark atmosphere and constant feeling of dread.
What matchups you got for Amnesia?
Gotta go with Bendy and the Ink Machine for me. Love that old-timey cartoon horror vibe. The atmosphere is so creepy with all the ink everywhere. Plus the story really sucked me in, trying to figure out what happened to the animation studio. Curious what matchups you’ve cooked up for Bendy!
Slender: The Eight Pages. Simple concept, but man, those foggy woods get intense.
What about you? Any lesser-known indie horror gems to recommend?
I’m a big fan of FNAF too! The lore keeps me hooked. Have you tried any other indie horror games? I recently played Poppy Playtime and it gave me similar vibes. Always on the lookout for new spooky experiences to try.
