The Baby In Yellow

Dread and tension

You babysit a child in an eerie house and must keep it content by feeding, changing and playing with it. Every neglected need raises the tension until the child becomes something you can no longer control.

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.

Slender: The Arrival

Calm and deliberate

A short first-person horror trip where you gather clues through dark forests and abandoned buildings, weaponless, while the Slender Man closes in. Tension comes from darkness, a flickering flashlight and sudden jump scares.

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.

Pacify

Easy to pick up

A co-op horror game for up to four players: you search a creepy mansion together, gather items and must keep a frightening girl pacified as she roams the halls.

SCP: Containment Breach

Dread and tension

You are a test subject trying to escape an SCP Foundation facility while escaped anomalies like the statue SCP-173 hunt you. Blinking as a mechanic, randomly generated corridors and constant dread make for a tense, scary experience.

Wick

Dread and tension

You explore a dark forest alone at night with only a candle, hunting for the ghosts of lost children. Your candlelight is both protection and a limited resource, creating constant tension.

Dreadhalls

Dread and tension

You wake in a barely lit dungeon and must find the way out while staying unseen by the creatures lurking there. Your only light needs a constant supply of oil, and the darkness is always ready to swallow you.
