Penumbra: Overture

Sneaking and hiding

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emily Wants to Play

Sneaking and hiding

You play a pizza delivery guy trapped in an abandoned house, trying to survive hour after hour as another of Emily's toys comes to life and hunts you. Tense survival horror built on hiding, barricading and managing your resources.

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.

Case: Animatronics

Sneaking and hiding

As Detective Bishop, you are trapped in a police station taken over by an anonymous hacker, with the power cut and every exit locked. You solve puzzles in the dark while hiding from the metallic machines closing in.

Boris and the Dark Survival

Sneaking and hiding

You play as Boris the Wolf, scavenging supplies through an abandoned cartoon studio while the Ink Demon hunts you from every shadow. Hidden secrets reward those brave enough to dig deeper into the decaying halls.
