Brings what grabs you about Capsule: dread and tension, a dark atmosphere as well as a sci-fi setting.

You pilot a cramped submarine blindly through an ocean of blood on an alien moon, relying on coordinates, maps and photos. Its claustrophobic, oppressive atmosphere makes this short game an intense horror experience.

Signalis

Dread and tension

A classic survival horror game with scarce resources, inventory puzzles and a cryptic, melancholic sci-fi story. Its blend of retro 3D aesthetics, anime-inspired bleakness and cosmic dread creates a dense, unsettling atmosphere.

Galerians

Dread and tension

A PlayStation survival horror where young Rion has no weapons and fights with psychic powers that must be recharged by taking drugs. Pre-rendered backgrounds and a bleak sci-fi conspiracy create an oppressive atmosphere.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Dread and tension

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.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

Pure single-player experience

A story-heavy entry in the horror series: as a technician in an underground facility you face short, tense nights with varied tasks rather than just watching cameras. The dark tale of Circus Baby and the animatronics drives the experience.

Fobia: St. Dinfna Hotel

Lots to discover

A first-person psychological horror game in which you explore a haunted hotel, solve puzzles and manage scarce resources. It blends classic survival horror with an eerie mystery story, made by a Brazilian indie studio.

Routine

Dread and tension

A tense first-person horror trek through an abandoned lunar base styled after an 80s vision of the future, where you dodge hostile machines with a clunky tool while uncovering what happened to the crew. With almost no HUD, it relies on atmosphere, sound design and dread.

Proximate

Dread and tension

A tense pixel-art horror adventure in a deep-sea lab where you rely on a glitchy image-recognition visor, text readouts and audio cues to map your surroundings and piece together how the research team died.

Dark Seed

Dread and tension

A point-and-click horror adventure with H. R. Giger-inspired biomechanical art: as a writer in a creepy house, you discover a mirror leading to a nightmarish parallel world and must uncover an alien threat, all under a tight time limit.
