Brings what grabs you about Urban Legends: sneaking and hiding, dread and tension as well as a dark atmosphere.

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.

Outlast

Sneaking and hiding

As a defenseless journalist armed only with a night-vision camcorder, you creep through a nightmarish asylum where hiding and running are your only options. Relentless, unfiltered terror with no way to fight back.

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.

Boogeyman

Sneaking and hiding

You play young Thomas, facing a lurking terror in the dark of his new house armed with just a flashlight. A short, atmospheric indie horror built on tension and hiding.

Clock Tower 3

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Granny

Sneaking and hiding

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.

Outlast II

Sneaking and hiding

As defenseless cameraman Blake, you flee through a remote Arizona village of religious zealots armed only with your camcorder's night vision. A disturbing, relentlessly intense horror trip that blurs reality and hallucination.

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.

Order 13

Sneaking and hiding

A horror game where you pack and ship orders in a warehouse that hides something sinister. The mundane job gradually turns into a tense stealth and survival experience.
