What are horror games?
Horror games are made to put you on edge: dark rooms, strange noises and something that shouldn't be there. Some are pure hide-and-escape experiences, others hand you a weapon and let you fight back. Many are in first person, so it feels like it's happening to you.
Popular types of horror games
Escape the dark
Zombie Escape: Horror Factory leaves you in a pitch-dark factory with a flashlight, a list of generators to repair and heavy footsteps somewhere nearby. More ways out in escape games.
Fight back
Monster Reform is a first-person shooter through monster-filled stages, Zombie Area has you clear a house room by room with pistols and rifles, and Zombie Hunter Survival throws endless waves of zombies at you. See all zombie games.
Dark fantasy
Elden Souls Dark Roguelike RPG is a retro pixel roguelike where you fight demons and ghosts in bloody combat, and Toy Shooter turns a room of toys into something much less friendly.
Tips for horror games
- Use headphones. Sound is how most horror games warn you.
- Save your flashlight battery and your ammo for when you really need them.
- When you're being chased, break line of sight before you hide.
