Penumbra: Overture

Sneaking and hiding

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.

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.

Granny

Puzzles and brain teasers

You are trapped in a house and must escape within five days while an old woman hunts you by sound. Hiding, moving quietly and solving puzzles keep the tension constantly high.

Lucius

Sneaking and hiding

You play Lucius, a child Antichrist who uses demonic powers to stage 'accidents' and murder everyone in his family manor one by one without raising suspicion. A macabre horror puzzle game inspired by The Omen.

Clock Tower

Sneaking and hiding

A classic point-and-click horror game in which you guide Jennifer through a mansion while fleeing the relentless Scissorman. Your choices lead to multiple endings, and the constant pursuit builds real panic.

Granny: Chapter Two

Sneaking and hiding

You have five days to get out of a house run by Granny and Grandpa, and every minute spent searching for items and solving puzzles risks a chase. Its tense, unsettling atmosphere is the main draw.

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.
