Hey fellow horror fans! I’m on the hunt for some awesome indie survival horror games. I’ve dipped my toes into a few already, but I’m sure there are more hidden gems out there. What are your top picks?

I’ve played four so far, and here’s how I’d rank them:

  1. The eerie sci-fi nightmare that is Signalis
  2. The creepy old-school vibe of Tormented Souls
  3. The unsettling rural horror of Crow Country
  4. The spooky doll-themed Alisa

But I’m dying to know what other terrifying indie experiences I’m missing out on. What are your favorite indie survival horror games? Do you agree with my ranking, or would you shuffle things around? And please, tell me about any lesser-known titles that deserve more attention!

I’m all ears for your suggestions. Let’s share some scares!

Visage is another great indie horror game.

It’s super unsettling with its psychological horror elements.

The game really messes with your head as you explore the house.

I’ve gotta throw Amnesia: Rebirth into the mix. It’s not as well-known as The Dark Descent, but it’s a solid indie horror experience. The story is pretty gripping, and the desert setting is a nice change from the usual creepy mansions. The sanity mechanic keeps you on edge throughout the game.

Darkwood is a real gem. The top-down view really adds to the tension. You never know what’s lurking just off-screen.

Signalis is top-notch for sure. If you’re into psychological horror, try Layers of Fear. It messes with your mind in ways I didn’t expect. The constantly shifting environment really keeps you on edge.

Signalis was intense. Have you tried Darkwood? That game’s atmosphere is off the charts. No jump scares, just pure dread the whole time. The top-down view adds to the creepiness too.
