Silent Hill: Origins

Pure single-player experience

A prequel to the first Silent Hill, in which trucker Travis Grady shifts between the real town and its nightmare twin, solving puzzles and scraping through clunky melee fights. Oppressive atmosphere and disturbing monsters are the main draw.

Tenebris Somnia

Dark, serious atmosphere

A survival horror game inspired by Silent Hill and Resident Evil, reimagined in a retro 8-bit 2D look. Puzzles, creature fights and live-action cutscenes with real actors create a striking contrast in style.

The Coma: Recut

Dark, serious atmosphere

A Korean 2.5D survival-horror in which a student is hunted through his nightmarish school at night by a killer. You sneak, solve puzzles and gradually uncover the mystery behind the nightmare.

Silent Hill

Dark, serious atmosphere

As ordinary father Harry Mason, you search a fog-shrouded town for your missing daughter and slip into a nightmarish otherworld. Oppressive fog, unsettling industrial sound design and cryptic puzzles make this a defining psychological horror classic with multiple endings.

Silent Hill 3

Pure single-player experience

Heather is dragged into a nightmarish otherworld where a mall, a subway and a hospital rot into rust, flesh and blood. Disturbing imagery, Akira Yamaoka's oppressive soundtrack and cryptic puzzles carry the game, while clumsy, desperate combat keeps every encounter tense.

Clock Tower 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

You play 14-year-old Alyssa, fleeing from immortal, grotesque killers rather than fighting them, solving puzzles in between across gloomy locations. This survival horror leans on panic, hiding and a stylishly morbid presentation.

Silent Hill: Homecoming

Pure single-player experience

A grim survival horror in which a soldier returns home to Shepherd's Glen to find his missing brother. Melee combat against grotesque monsters, puzzles and an oppressive atmosphere define the experience.
