Brings what grabs you about Splatterhouse: dread and tension, melee combat with weapons or fists as well as a demanding difficulty.

A brutally tough action platformer with a Lovecraftian horror vibe, blending precise jumping with fluid combo-based combat. Kicking enemies into saws and spikes is the hook, wrapped in a distinctive pixel-and-ink look.

Nightmare Creatures

Dread and tension

A PlayStation-era gothic horror brawler in which you fight a cult's grotesque monsters through foggy 19th-century London using melee combos. Bleak atmosphere and linear levels define the experience.

Nightmare Creatures II

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You play as Herbert Wallace, an escaped lab subject hunting the demonic scientist Dr. Crowley through a bloody, gothic Victorian horror chase across London and Paris. Its brawling melee combat against monsters, set in a grim, atmospheric world, is the main draw.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.

Castlevania Chronicles

Challenging difficulty

You take on Dracula's estate as Simon Belmont, lashing your whip through classic gothic stages alone against the resurrected Count and his minions. Precise jumps, sub-weapons and unforgiving enemy placement make every mistake count.

Haunted Castle

Challenging difficulty

An arcade-style Castlevania spin-off where Simon Belmont whips his way through Dracula's castle to rescue his kidnapped bride. It is short, linear and notorious for its punishing difficulty.

Five Nights at Freddy's 4

Challenging difficulty

A minimalist survival horror where you play a child defending your bedroom, doors and closet from animatronics using only sound cues and a flashlight. Precise timing and steady nerves decide whether you last until 6 AM.
