Small creepy children. Check. A terrifying world of adults surrounding you. Check. Obscure horrors lingering at the periphery of your vision. Check.Little Nightmares IIwill give you nightmares if you aren’t careful. This oddly charming horror game does its best to keep you unsettled. There’s a creeping sense of dread when making your way through each area and it doesn’t really leave when you close the game either.
Alien Isolation
SEGA
Perhaps the most terrifying game on this list,Alien Isolationis a survival horror where the emphasis in on survival more than ever. Because really it’s just you and an angry Xenomorph hunting you down. You’ll hide in lockers or under beds all in the desperate hope it won’t spot you and claw out your guts. There are other enemies as well, but with less focus on combat, you feel utterly helpless at every turning point. This is edge-of-the-seat gaming at its very best.
Inscryption
Devolver Digital

You wouldn’t think a card game could be scary. Although, perhaps scary isn’t the right word when it comes toInscryption. It’s the ambience and the overall style of this narratively driven card game that makes it ideal for Halloween. Everything is drenched in darkness, macabre imagery is littered throughout, and there’s little sense of safety while you’re sat playing games with animal-based cards. It’s all very disturbing and leaves you feeling a bit squirmy throughout.
DOOM Eternal
Bethesda Softworks
Hunt: Showdown 1896
Crytek

The fear felt inHunt: Showdown 1896has only grown in the years since its release in 2019. What started as an outback extraction shooter based on monsters of legend has become something truly terrifying. Everything is evil, except your crew, and that includes other players in the map who are out to grab your bounties and kill you in the process. No matter where you turn, monsters are steadily creeping towards you, sometimes out in the open where you can handle them, but other times in the darkness of old barns or houses where they can prey on your senses and put the fear into you.
Pacific Drive
Kepler Interactive

InPacific Drive, the supernatural dangers around you are constantly drawing near with only the shell of your car keeping them away. The only way to survive the danger that lurks in the darkness is to keep moving forward, repairing your vehicle, and hoping that you’ll make it to the next stop safely. Think sci-fi danger pressing in on you and the world feels like its ending at every moment, then you’ll understand the thrills and chills of this one.
