Play These Games— If You Dare!
Demons, ghosts, clowns—they’re coming for you. These horror games deliver chills and thrills by the dozen, plus plenty of wicked surprises. Steel yourself for a pulse-pounding ride…and watch your back!
Evil street
Add a little stealth to your scares with Hello Neighbor. In this first-person frightfest, sneak around your neighbor’s house to discover his dark secrets without being caught. Whether you’re clambering through an upstairs window or hiding in a closet, the tension never lets up.
Want a little help? Try the multiplayer spin-off Secret Neighbor. Cooperatively search for basement keys while one person—playing as the neighbor—foils the rest with diabolical traps!
Hellish monsters
Everything attacks you (even the trees!) in 20 Minutes Till Dawn, a survival game where you’re mobbed by supernatural foes. Slow ’em with freeze blasts, fry ’em with lightning, and don’t lose hope: The more creatures you slay, the mightier you become—and the greater your odds of living through that harrowing 20-minute gauntlet.
Creepy kiddo
You know you’re in trouble when the infant antagonist of The Baby in Yellow teleports across the room and giggles disturbingly...and your babysitting gig only gets wilder from there! While you keep the glowing-eyed tot from wandering too far, you’ll find hidden rooms, evade demonic tentacles, and dodge giant toy trains. Can you keep both of you safe till his parents get home?
Lethal invader
Few games evoke genuine dread like Alien: Isolation. As Amanda Ripley (daughter of franchise hero Ellen Ripley), you’re stuck aboard a space station with few weapons and a deadly Xenomorph on the loose. Stunning graphics and superb sound design (hisssss!) ratchet up the terror as you hide, sneak, and try to escape the outpost before the Alien gets you.
Ghostly encounters
Set in 20th-century Japan, the visual novel Paranormasight tells the interweaving tales of seven people who harness the power of a curse that can revive the dead. A twist-filled plot puts you in the shoes of a detective, a grieving mother, and other fascinating characters, all guided by the mysterious Storyteller. We loved getting wrapped up in the game’s eerie atmosphere...jump scares and all!
Menacing mansion
Very Little Nightmares dares you to escape a giant house full of crumbling floors and other treacherous traps. The only way out: solving puzzles to open doors and evade monstrous adults (like the long-armed Craftsman). Haunting visuals and a lingering sense of dread make this adventure unforgettable.
