Kholat

Dread and tension

An oppressive horror exploration game where you navigate the snowbound Dyatlov Pass with only a map and compass, piecing together the mysterious tragedy through scattered notes. Marker-free navigation and eerie isolation create a dense, lonely atmosphere.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Dread and tension

Defenseless in a gloomy Prussian castle, you hide from monsters, ration lamp oil and fight to keep your sanity instead of fighting back. A genre-defining horror classic built on physics-based puzzles and relentless dread.

Black Rose

Dread and tension

You explore a supposedly haunted funeral home with nothing but a flashlight, piecing together what happened to its former staff. The bleak, eerie atmosphere is the heart of the experience.

Saturnalia

Dread and tension

Saturnalia is a survival horror adventure steeped in Sardinian folklore. You explore a village whose maze-like layout shifts between attempts, and you solve its mysteries largely without guidance.

Wick

Dread and tension

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.

Betrayer

Dread and tension

A first-person adventure set in 1604 Virginia, where you explore a nearly black-and-white, ghost-haunted colony and uncover its mystery. The striking desaturated art style and eerie mood carry the game, with sparse bow and musket combat.

Slender: The Arrival

Easy to pick up

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.

Alone in the Dark

Dread and tension

A pioneer of survival horror: you explore a cursed 1920s mansion, solve puzzles and fight sparingly against monsters. Its 3D characters on pre-rendered backdrops and menacing mood shaped the entire genre.

Amnesia: The Bunker

Dread and tension

A first-person horror game in a WW1 bunker where you survive with scarce resources, a hand-cranked light and an unpredictable monster stalking you. The semi-open, systemic layout lets you improvise routes, hiding spots and puzzle solutions.
