So for both of these points: Research what you want to play, please!Ĥ: I don't play horror games to have fun. They obviously aren't actual malware, but I understand if this is something you're not comfortable with. Also, some of these games are fourth wall breaking horror - They might access your files for some scares, or need you to close the game in a certain way. I'll mention a few warnings, but indie horror can get very very dark - It's part of the beauty of the genre. I'm also not including any generic 'collect keys in the dark, open door, repeat' games, you shouldn't have a problem to find these on your own!ģ: This is somewhat important: I am assuming you will be mature enough to handle possibly VERY dark topics, or at least research games you might be uncomfortable with. They'll get more obscure the further we get. I'm making some exceptions, but I'll explain why they are on the list.Ģ: You can kind of think of the list as an iceberg, scroll down until you see games you haven't heard of, or are interested in. I've been in love with the genre for all my life and could write 30 pages of philosophical analysis on why it's such a beautiful art form, but I'll spare you the details and get to some interesting points:ġ: I'll treat you with respect and assume I don't have to mention Silent Hill, SOMA, Amnesia,Yume Nikki, Condemned, Outlast, etc - If you don't already have an opinion on the bigger titles of the genre, you probably won't find some of these obscure games too interesting.
