There are plenty of tricks and strategies to execute in each map, with a character progression system that should keep you coming back. Man of Medan is a choice-based horror drama that follows a group of young adults who undergo an underwater diving expedition in the South Pacific Ocean. But things take a turn and the group ends up on a ghost ship where their nightmares come to life - but things aren't quite as simple as that.
In Man of Medan, your choices impact who lives and who dies. You can save everyone but you can also get everyone killed. What we love most about Man of Medan is that Supermassive Games leaned into the success of Until Dawn streams, introducing a Shared Story and Movie Night mode which allows players to take part in the interactive horror with friends.
Few mediums are as perfectly suited to horror as VR. The full-body immersion and restrictive viewing angles mean you're never quite sure what's around you, and make jump scares or surreal monsters all that more affecting. The Persistence is a smart VR horror rogue-like set in a monster-ridden spaceship.
Your vessel has been pulled into the orbit of a black hole, and its interference is constantly jumbling up the layout of the ship, using procedurally generated levels to ensure you never know what's going to be around each corner.
To top it all off, every time you die you're transferred into a new clone of yourself — which would be handy if the other clones weren't turning into massive misshapen monsters looking to murder you. An innovative take on VR gaming that isn't afraid to, you know, make you afraid. Little Nightmares is a great example of a game that manages to inspire fear and disgust without using traditional blood and gore.
The game puts you in control of a young girl called Six and has you navigate a a frightening world that's far too big for her, populated by a wide array of giant and grotesque creatures. You don't have to fight these creatures, you just have to sneak around world and hide to get past them in what is absolutely a platforming puzzle game. But Little Nightmares is a great horror game in that it perfectly creates a feeling of helplessness while making it clear that you're capable of escaping.
It takes familiar and domestic areas of the home that should be comforting and turns them on their head by making them repulsive and unsafe. Dead Space, published by EA and developed by Visceral Games, is among the contemporary classic horror games. The story, first set on an abandoned space vessel duh , takes terrifying twists and turns — most of which involving zombified aliens waiting around said turns. Following the formula established by Ridley Scott's classic 'Alien' certainly helped — besides, the first Alien game to pull it off didn't release for another few years.
All in all, Dead Space was one of the pioneering horror games of the modern era, inspiring a renaissance in the genre that hasn't yet died down. That comes down to some simple tenants: a compelling story, believable visuals and proper pacing. And while we recommend the first game for the purest horror experience, you're bound to get a kick out of its two mainline sequels too.
Resident Evil 7 was a breath of fresh air for an increasingly stale series, bringing in a modern understanding of both horror movies and games while managing to retain that very distinct Resident Evil feel. By moving the perspective from third to first person it also made the fear feel closer and more immediate, while leading the way to include a genuinely frightening VR experience to the game.
With a great story and tight gameplay, Resident Evil 7 was the addition to the horror series we all wanted and feared we wouldn't get. The success of the game, along with the recent remakes of earlier titles in the series, is enough to make us think Capcom will be giving us scares for a good while yet.
Following up on the huge success of Resident Evil 7 and its remake of Resident Evil 2, Capcom remade Resident Evil 3 and completely nailed it. With its fast-paced action, excellent graphics and, of course, terrifying zombies; the Resident Evil 3 remake is one of the best horror games on the market and one you absolutely shouldn't miss.
In our Resident Evil 3 review we gave the game an impressive 4.

Released in mid, Slender is based around long pauses followed by sudden movements that are totally unexpected.
In other words: jump scares. Slender is essentially a horror movie in video game form. It's a bit cheap, but boy does it work. Your mission is simple: Don't get killed, collect the eight pieces of a book, and run. The 'thing' pursuing you — directly inspired by the popular Slender Man meme — is a faceless, eerily lanky man in a pinstriped suit. The game relies heavily around the player having virtually no resources beyond a flashlight and the ability to jog.
Naturally, both of which are limited for obvious reasons, making escape all the more difficult. If you ever Looking to add some spooky fun to your board game night? The lights are low, the table is set, the candles are lit.

Probably best to play Thumper in short bursts only. It was the first game to really push the idea of horror narratives as subjective, fluid and untrustworthy things, with a story that invites interpretation and a semi-sentient city that warps and shifts itself to fit the damaged psyches of its inhabitants. The confusing cult nonsense of the first and third games was pushed to the backburner for the more personal story of a psychologically damaged widower battling his way through a foggy purgatory populated by zombie-things, dog-things, and whatever the hell Pyramid Head was.
