A first-person horror game that plays like Pac-Man in a maze: you collect shards while fleeing murderous monsters such as knife-wielding toy monkeys. The tension comes from chases, pacing and close escapes.

Granny: Chapter Two

Sneaking and hiding

You have five days to get out of a house run by Granny and Grandpa, and every minute spent searching for items and solving puzzles risks a chase. Its tense, unsettling atmosphere is the main draw.

Hello Neighbor

Challenging difficulty

A cartoonish stealth-horror game where you break into a creepy neighbor's house to uncover what's hidden in his basement. An adaptive AI learns your routes and sets traps, mixing cryptic physics puzzles with tense, sometimes frustrating chases.

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.

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning

Distinctive, stylised art style

You collect seven notebooks in a deliberately crude, strange school while evading the relentless teacher Baldi. It parodies bad 90s edutainment games and mixes goofy humor with unsettling meta horror.

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.

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.

Dreadhalls

Sneaking and hiding

You wake in a barely lit dungeon and must find the way out while staying unseen by the creatures lurking there. Your only light needs a constant supply of oil, and the darkness is always ready to swallow you.
