Stay Out of the House

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Fear the Spotlight

Sneaking and hiding

A short horror adventure set in a school at night, where Vivian and Amy sneak around, solve puzzles and evade a sinister spotlight after a séance goes wrong. Its look recalls classic PS1-era horror games.

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.

Dark Echo

Sneaking and hiding

You navigate pitch darkness by sending out sound that bounces off walls and reveals the layout around you. An eerie soundscape and 80 levels full of lurking dangers make every step tense.

Saiko no Sutoka

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Madison

Puzzles and brain teasers

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.

Among the Sleep

Sneaking and hiding

A first-person horror adventure seen through the eyes of a toddler wandering a distorted home and eerie dreamscapes at night with a talking teddy bear. There is no combat, just hiding, light puzzles and a haunting story about comfort and a troubled family.
