Brings what grabs you about Case: Animatronics: sneaking and hiding, dread and tension as well as a dark atmosphere.

A first-person survival horror set in a desolate Greenland mine, where you're nearly defenseless and rely on physics-based puzzles and hiding to survive. Its oppressive atmosphere and mouse-driven object interaction define the experience.

Stay Out of the House

Sneaking and hiding

You sneak through the home of a cannibal serial killer, trying to slip away before he finds you. The deliberately chunky PS1-style low-poly visuals and VHS grain give this slasher horror a nostalgic, unsettling charm.

Fear the Spotlight

Sneaking and hiding

A short horror adventure set in a school at night, where Vivian and Amy sneak around, solve puzzles and evade a sinister spotlight after a séance goes wrong. Its look recalls classic PS1-era horror games.

Dark Echo

Sneaking and hiding

You navigate pitch darkness by sending out sound that bounces off walls and reveals the layout around you. An eerie soundscape and 80 levels full of lurking dangers make every step tense.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Sneaking and hiding

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

Saiko no Sutoka

Sneaking and hiding

In this small horror game you flee from Saiko-chan, a playfully sadistic yandere who toys with you before she tries to kill you. The chase thrives on tension, hiding and light puzzles that keep you narrowly escaping.

Madison

Puzzles and brain teasers

A first-person psychological horror game where an instant camera bridges the human world and the beyond. You develop photos yourself to solve disturbing puzzles while surviving a deeply unsettling atmosphere.

Amnesia: Rebirth

Sneaking and hiding

A first-person horror adventure set in the 1937 Algerian desert, where you play the defenseless Tasi, hiding from monsters, solving puzzles and slowly uncovering a disturbing truth. Its strengths are dense atmosphere and a dark, emotional story.
