October is upon us, as too is the stronger-than-normal urge to play every creepy, eerie, spooky game in sight. Fortunately for someone like myself – a lover of horror even if I wet myself whilst playing them – Steam Next Fest 2023 has a wide array of games that tick all the right macabre boxes.
I should point out that thisSteamevent isn’t only focused on horror games – there’s action, adventure, RPGs, puzzles, a whole array of subgenres to whet your appetite if you’re looking for something new to try. But, seeing as Halloween will soon be here, I’m focused on games that go bump in the night. And no, I’m not referring to games likeGTA 6that are giving us major nightmares after allthe leaksthat keep hounding the game before it’s even released…!
Embrace chaos with this expert level VR Horror prank!
The first game I’d like to point you in the direction of isFall of Decay. Now, full disclaimer, English isn’t a supported language for this game, which I know will put many people off. However, just take a look that that pixel art style, atmospheric locations, and unnerving entities roaming about; it has all the hallmarks of a pixel-perfect horror.

Playing as a girl named Celica, you’ll need to explore the strange mansion you’ve awoken in, not sure what’s going on or where you are, nor how to find your way out. You need to survive, but also regain your lost memory, two horror tropes we all know and love (or hate, depending on your preferences). This title appears to offer a lot of interaction with your environment, which I for one love, thus allowing you to go off the beaten track to investigate every nook and cranny.
As I’ve already hinted,All in Your Headis a lot more generic thanFall of Decay, however, both of these games look like great additions for anyone in search of goosebumps and thrills. Whatever your passions, though, you need to act quickly because Next Fest is in its final hours, which means you don’t have long to savour the sweet fear that comes with jumpscares.
