  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Pure single-player experience

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.

Imscared

Focus on a single character

A short first-person meta-horror nightmare that targets the player and the game itself. You hunt for keys and exits while the game constantly deceives you and breaks the fourth wall.

Granny

Puzzles and brain teasers

You are trapped in a house and must escape within five days while an old woman hunts you by sound. Hiding, moving quietly and solving puzzles keep the tension constantly high.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Dark, serious atmosphere

Defenseless in a gloomy Prussian castle, you hide from monsters, ration lamp oil and fight to keep your sanity instead of fighting back. A genre-defining horror classic built on physics-based puzzles and relentless dread.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Saiko no Sutoka

Focus on a single character

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.

Welcome to the Game II

Dark, serious atmosphere

A horror puzzle game where you play a reporter delving into the deep web and a trap-filled building to help a woman in danger. Puzzles, surveillance and survival pressure create a tense, unsettling experience.

Alone in the Dark

Dark, serious atmosphere

A pioneer of survival horror: you explore a cursed 1920s mansion, solve puzzles and fight sparingly against monsters. Its 3D characters on pre-rendered backdrops and menacing mood shaped the entire genre.

Ao Oni

Puzzles and brain teasers

A cult Japanese indie horror game in which you solve tricky puzzles in an abandoned mansion while fleeing the blue monster Ao Oni, which can ambush you at any moment.
