Occlude

Dark, serious atmosphere

Occlude disguises itself as a Solitaire card game but is really a cosmic-horror puzzler where the rules are hidden and must be worked out through experimentation. You solve cryptic challenges to uncover forbidden lore, and you can restart at any time.

D

Dark, serious atmosphere

An early interactive horror movie from Warp: as Laura you explore a creepy hospital in first person, solving puzzles to uncover why your father went on a killing spree. Its pre-rendered CGI cutscenes and disturbing themes like cannibalism made it infamous.

At Dead of Night

Pure single-player experience

A horror game blending live-action footage with game segments, where you play Maya hiding from a psychopath in a remote hotel while trying to free your captive friends. It mixes interactive film, stealth and investigation into a low-budget horror movie experience.

Forbidden Solitaire

Dark, serious atmosphere

A horror solitaire game styled as a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM, where playing cards gradually unearths dark secrets. Details are limited, so this rating relies mainly on the metadata.

The Coma: Recut

Dark, serious atmosphere

A Korean 2.5D survival-horror in which a student is hunted through his nightmarish school at night by a killer. You sneak, solve puzzles and gradually uncover the mystery behind the nightmare.

Madness of the Architect

Pure single-player experience

A surreal puzzle-horror adventure in the vein of Myst and 999: you work through mind-bending puzzle labyrinths to escape the Mad Architect. It relies on brainpower and eerie atmosphere rather than combat.

Look Outside

Pure single-player experience

You are trapped in your apartment building while the world outside breaks down, fighting mutated neighbors in turn-based combat. Ammo, supplies and your sanity must be carefully managed in a dense pixel-art horror atmosphere.
