Penumbra: Overture

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Haunting Ground

Sneaking and hiding

As the defenseless Fiona, you flee through a creepy castle alongside your dog Hewie. Instead of fighting, you hide, solve puzzles and command the dog while stalkers hunt you down.

Dreadhalls

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Sneaking and hiding

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Madison

Pure single-player experience

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.
