  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Sci-fi setting

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.

Daymare: 1998

Challenging difficulty

A love letter to '90s survival horror classics, with scarce ammo, a fiddly manual reloading system and puzzles in a small town overrun by mutants, told through three playable characters.

Code Violet

Focus on a single character

A third-person action horror game where you play Violet, a girl pulled from the past, trying to escape an infested bioengineering complex. You sneak, hide or fight your way past the creatures.

BioForge

Puzzles and brain teasers

A 1995 cyber-thriller in which you play a half-human, half-machine prisoner breaking out and uncovering your lost identity. It mixes item puzzles with melee and gun combat, using early 3D textured characters over pre-rendered backgrounds.

Hollowbody

Focus on a single character

A short tech-noir survival horror set in an abandoned British city: as smuggler Mica you search for your missing partner with scarce resources. It mixes exploration, puzzles and gunplay in the spirit of classic PS1-era horror games.

Resident Evil Survivor

Realistic visuals

A first-person Resident Evil spin-off where you roam Umbrella-infested locations with infinite pistol ammo and aim at enemies with a targeting reticle. Choosing between two doors at each level's end branches the path.

Galerians

Challenging difficulty

A PlayStation survival horror where young Rion has no weapons and fights with psychic powers that must be recharged by taking drugs. Pre-rendered backgrounds and a bleak sci-fi conspiracy create an oppressive atmosphere.

Cold Fear

Realistic visuals

A survival-horror shooter set on an abandoned Russian whaling ship in a raging storm. As a Coast Guard sailor, you fight through tight, shifting corridors against mutated creatures.

Scars Above

Challenging difficulty

A challenging sci-fi third-person action game where you play a scientist stranded on an alien planet, fighting monsters with elemental weapons and solving puzzles. Its checkpoint-based difficulty echoes soulslikes, while a mystery story drives you onward.

Half-Life

Challenging difficulty

The landmark shooter sends physicist Gordon Freeman through the alien- and soldier-infested Black Mesa facility, telling its story seamlessly without cutscenes while mixing tense firefights with environmental and physics puzzles.
