Emily Wants to Play

90 %

2015 PCPlayStationXbox 4.99 € 👍 78 % Mostly positive, 2,191 reviews on Steam

  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Challenging difficulty
  • Focus on a single character

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.

Ultimate Custom Night

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The grand crossover finale of the Five Nights at Freddy's series: pick from 50 animatronics, set each one's difficulty, and juggle doors, vents and air hoses from your office to survive. Brutally demanding, with nearly endless challenge setups.

Manhunt

Dark, serious atmosphere

Rockstar's notoriously brutal stealth thriller casts you as a death-row convict forced to star in a snuff film, stalking gangs through a decaying city. Lurking in shadows and executing hunters creates a grim, deeply unsettling atmosphere.

Outlast

Dark, serious atmosphere

As a defenseless journalist armed only with a night-vision camcorder, you creep through a nightmarish asylum where hiding and running are your only options. Relentless, unfiltered terror with no way to fight back.

2Dark

Focus on a single character

A grim voxel-styled stealth horror game from the creator of Alone in the Dark: as detective Mr. Smith you sneak through brutal locations to rescue abducted children without being caught.

Siren: Blood Curse

Dark, serious atmosphere

A Japanese survival horror game set in a cursed 1970s village where an American film crew fights to survive the undead Shibito. Told in episodes with many playable characters, it relies on stealth, scarce resources and oppressive atmosphere.

Clock Tower 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

You play 14-year-old Alyssa, fleeing from immortal, grotesque killers rather than fighting them, solving puzzles in between across gloomy locations. This survival horror leans on panic, hiding and a stylishly morbid presentation.

Dark Deception

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Amy

Dark, serious atmosphere

A survival horror game where you play Lana guiding a young infected girl, Amy, through a quarantined city. The two-character teamwork is the core idea, though clunky controls and rough technical execution hold it back.
