A short first-person meta-horror nightmare that targets the player and the game itself. You hunt for keys and exits while the game constantly deceives you and breaks the fourth wall.

Madison

Dark, serious atmosphere

A first-person psychological horror game where an instant camera bridges the human world and the beyond. You develop photos yourself to solve disturbing puzzles while surviving a deeply unsettling atmosphere.

Golden Light

Challenging difficulty

A first-person survival horror with roguelike elements that leans on an eerie atmosphere, tension and survival under pressure. Each run changes how exploration plays out.

Penumbra: Overture

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Granny

Challenging difficulty

You are trapped in a house and must escape within five days while an old woman hunts you by sound. Hiding, moving quietly and solving puzzles keep the tension constantly high.

Silent Hill: Origins

Dark, serious atmosphere

A prequel to the first Silent Hill, in which trucker Travis Grady shifts between the real town and its nightmare twin, solving puzzles and scraping through clunky melee fights. Oppressive atmosphere and disturbing monsters are the main draw.

Dreadhalls

Challenging difficulty

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.

Saiko no Sutoka

Dark, serious atmosphere

In this small horror game you flee from Saiko-chan, a playfully sadistic yandere who toys with you before she tries to kill you. The chase thrives on tension, hiding and light puzzles that keep you narrowly escaping.

Knock-knock

Dark, serious atmosphere

A surreal horror game where you play a lonely cabin dweller who must survive the night by turning on lights and hiding from strange visitors. Its eerie, dreamlike mood is the main draw.

Stay Out of the House

Dark, serious atmosphere

You sneak through the home of a cannibal serial killer, trying to slip away before he finds you. The deliberately chunky PS1-style low-poly visuals and VHS grain give this slasher horror a nostalgic, unsettling charm.
