Outlast

Dread and tension

As a defenseless journalist armed only with a night-vision camcorder, you creep through a nightmarish asylum where hiding and running are your only options. Relentless, unfiltered terror with no way to fight back.

Wick

Easy to pick up

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.

Song of Horror

Challenging difficulty

A classic fixed-camera survival horror told in episodes, where an unpredictable entity stalks you. Characters can die permanently, and puzzles plus dread behind every door drive the experience.

Daylight

Dread and tension

A short first-person horror game where you wander a procedurally arranged abandoned hospital lit only by your phone, gathering notes and fleeing a ghostly presence you cannot fight.

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.

Penumbra: Overture

Dread and tension

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.
