Outlast II

Dread and tension

As defenseless cameraman Blake, you flee through a remote Arizona village of religious zealots armed only with your camcorder's night vision. A disturbing, relentlessly intense horror trip that blurs reality and hallucination.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

Strong, story-driven narrative

A story-heavy entry in the horror series: as a technician in an underground facility you face short, tense nights with varied tasks rather than just watching cameras. The dark tale of Circus Baby and the animatronics drives the experience.

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.

Alien: Isolation

Sneaking and hiding

A nerve-shredding survival horror game where, as Amanda Ripley, you are hunted through Sevastopol station by an unpredictable, unkillable Alien. Its faithful lo-fi retro-futurist look from the 1979 film and constant dread make hiding in lockers terrifying.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Challenging difficulty

A horror survival game where you play a night guard in a haunted attraction, juggling cameras, ventilation and audio lures to evade a single animatronic and fend off hallucinations. Tension comes from resource management, jump scares and hidden lore.

Clock Tower 3

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Among the Sleep

Sneaking and hiding

A first-person horror adventure seen through the eyes of a toddler wandering a distorted home and eerie dreamscapes at night with a talking teddy bear. There is no combat, just hiding, light puzzles and a haunting story about comfort and a troubled family.

The Evil Within

Dread and tension

Shinji Mikami's brutal survival horror sends detective Sebastian Castellanos through a shifting, nightmarish world. Scarce ammo, deadly traps and grotesque monsters keep the tension constantly high.

Haunting Ground

Sneaking and hiding

As the defenseless Fiona, you flee through a creepy castle alongside your dog Hewie. Instead of fighting, you hide, solve puzzles and command the dog while stalkers hunt you down.
