  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Challenging difficulty

A classic-style survival horror set in a small American town, mixing scarce resources, puzzles and interconnected exploration into a grim mystery about redemption.

The Sinking City

Pure single-player experience

As a 1920s private eye in the half-drowned town of Oakmont, you solve eerie cases by reconstructing crime scenes and drawing your own conclusions, with little hand-holding, in a Lovecraftian nightmare. Thick atmosphere and morally grey decisions carry the game, while the combat is serviceable rather than great.

Arx Fatalis

Strong character progression

A first-person RPG set in an underground fantasy world where the sun has died. It stands out for its gesture-drawn rune spellcasting, highly interactive environments and gloomy cavernous atmosphere.

The Secret World

Strong character progression

A modern-day MMO where myths, conspiracies and Lovecraftian horror are real, famous for investigation missions that demand genuine puzzle-solving and even real-world research. It pairs a flexible classless ability-wheel system with eerie atmosphere and sharply written, quirky characters.

Heartworm

Pure single-player experience

A survival horror game in the spirit of the 90s that blends fixed camera angles with over-the-shoulder views. You fend off threats with a camera and solve puzzles about death in a world built from memories.

Resident Evil

Challenging difficulty

The survival horror blueprint: scarce ammo, tight inventory and interlocking puzzles in a zombie-infested mansion, with fixed camera angles building constant dread and a campy charm.

Silent Hill

Challenging difficulty

As ordinary father Harry Mason, you search a fog-shrouded town for your missing daughter and slip into a nightmarish otherworld. Oppressive fog, unsettling industrial sound design and cryptic puzzles make this a defining psychological horror classic with multiple endings.

Lost Ruins

Strong character progression

A pixel-art 2D metroidvania where an amnesiac girl explores a dark, dangerous world, fighting monsters and bosses with weapons, spells and tonics while guided by the mysterious Beatrice.

Dishonored

Tactical depth

As a supernatural assassin, you sneak or fight through the plague-ridden whaling city of Dunwall. Open-ended levels and combinable powers allow many approaches, and how much chaos you cause shapes the ending.
