Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

Pure single-player experience

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.

Aka Manto

Dread and tension

In this indie horror game you face the Red Mantle, a Japanese urban legend about a masked spirit haunting school bathrooms. Its tension comes from an unsettling atmosphere and choices that decide whether you survive.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

Dread and tension

An atmospheric horror game in which a small girl sneaks through a Japanese town at night, hiding from spirits while searching for her lost friend. Helplessness, silence and a miniature diorama look create an oppressive, melancholic mood.

Iron Lung

Dread and tension

You pilot a cramped submarine blindly through an ocean of blood on an alien moon, relying on coordinates, maps and photos. Its claustrophobic, oppressive atmosphere makes this short game an intense horror experience.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Dread and tension

As a night guard in a pizzeria you watch cameras and survive until morning while a larger, more aggressive set of animatronics hunts you. Jump scares, limited resources and tense timing define it, with scattered lore hints on the side.

Boris and the Dark Survival

Dread and tension

You play as Boris the Wolf, scavenging supplies through an abandoned cartoon studio while the Ink Demon hunts you from every shadow. Hidden secrets reward those brave enough to dig deeper into the decaying halls.

Yomawari: Night Alone

Dread and tension

A young girl wanders a eerie Japanese town at night searching for her sister and dog. Defenseless, she relies on a flashlight, hiding and running from disturbing spirits, all in a bleak storybook-like art style.

Shadows 2: Perfidia

Calm and deliberate

A small indie horror game in which you explore a darkened office complex and piece together the truth behind the terrible events that happened there. Its mood draws on Penumbra and Layers of Fear.
