Hey everyone, I’m on the hunt for some really scary indie horror games. I recently tried one that didn’t quite hit the mark. It was super slow and not that impressive. Now I’m wondering what games you guys have played that really stuck with you. What’s a horror game that gave you chills or kept you up at night? Maybe it had an amazing atmosphere or some unique gameplay elements. I’d love to hear about the indie horror games that left a lasting impact on you. Share your experiences and recommendations!
Dude, SOMA messed me up big time. The underwater setting is claustrophobic as hell, and the existential horror really gets to you. Not just jump scares, but a deep sense of dread throughout. Played it with headphones and couldn’t shake the creepy vibes for days.
Outlast is seriously freaky. Hiding from those crazy patients with only a night vision camera gave me major anxiety. The asylum setting is super creepy too. Definitely not for the faint of heart!
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is pretty intense. The sanity mechanic where you go crazy in the dark adds a whole new level of fear. I remember hiding in corners and frantically searching for light sources. Definitely got my heart racing more than once.
Layers of Fear really got under my skin. The way it messes with your perception and the environment constantly shifts around you is seriously unsettling. I couldn’t shake that creepy feeling for days after playing. The story of the artist’s descent into madness just adds to the overall disturbing vibe. If you’re looking for something that’ll mess with your head, give it a shot.
Visage is a real hidden gem.
The changing house layout and psychological horror elements keep you on edge.
Seriously creepy atmosphere without relying on cheap scares.
