Find a missing child on an island that is both beautiful and unnerving. The game is largely open-ended, letting the player solve the mystery naturally.

A story focused game with some scattered horror sections. Explores the consequences of a world where the dead can continue living in a digital world.

More proof that pixelated games can be absolutely terrifying. Fans of Imscared should definitely check this one out.

Plays like an inescapable nightmare. Rooms can (and will) change and re-order themselves when you aren't looking. Just disable the voice acting.

Technically not a horror game, but features a selection of iconic monsters from the Cthulhu mythos. It's also a pretty good introduction to roguelikes.

Sequel to a great XBox 360 indie game. Essential a Myst-style point and click with decent puzzles, spooky environments and occasional jump scares.

Like Twin Peaks, traditional survival horror, or life sims? This game gives you all three at once! Only downside: the PC port is rather terrible.

Randomly generated levels make every playthrough stressful in this Slender inspired game. The presentation and music make up for a lackluster story.

A forgotten survival horror gem that deserved more attention. Takes the combat from RE4 but with the added danger of being washed off the ship.

A very interesting idea done well, for the most part. Familiar Amnesia-style run and hide gameplay but from the perspective of a scared toddler.
