Emily Wants to Play

Dark, serious atmosphere

You play a pizza delivery guy trapped in an abandoned house, trying to survive hour after hour as another of Emily's toys comes to life and hunts you. Tense survival horror built on hiding, barricading and managing your resources.

Daylight

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Slender: The Eight Pages

Dark, serious atmosphere

You wander a dark forest at night with a weak flashlight, collecting eight pages while the Slender Man stalks you. Its minimalist design and creeping dread made the free game a viral horror hit.

Slender: The Arrival

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

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.

Flesh Made Fear

Dark, serious atmosphere

A retro-style survival horror with tank controls and fixed cameras, set in a grim world of occult experiments. Scarce resources, puzzles and oppressive atmosphere take center stage.

Outlast

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.
