Ann

Dread and tension

Nightmare Files: Clap Clap

Accessible and relaxed

Slender: The Arrival

Dread and tension

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.

In 10 Dead Doves you creep through an Appalachian forest that feels hostile, where every strange noise can mean danger. With a fixed camera and scattered lifelines, you chase the mystery of why the birds keep dropping dead.

This is a Ghost

Focus on a single character
