Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Pure single-player experience

A horror survival game where you play a night guard in a haunted attraction, juggling cameras, ventilation and audio lures to evade a single animatronic and fend off hallucinations. Tension comes from resource management, jump scares and hidden lore.

Emily Wants to Play

Sneaking and hiding

You play a pizza delivery guy trapped in an abandoned house, trying to survive hour after hour as another of Emily's toys comes to life and hunts you. Tense survival horror built on hiding, barricading and managing your resources.

Yomawari: Night Alone

Sneaking and hiding

A young girl wanders a eerie Japanese town at night searching for her sister and dog. Defenseless, she relies on a flashlight, hiding and running from disturbing spirits, all in a bleak storybook-like art style.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

Sneaking and hiding

An atmospheric horror game in which a small girl sneaks through a Japanese town at night, hiding from spirits while searching for her lost friend. Helplessness, silence and a miniature diorama look create an oppressive, melancholic mood.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Vast, open spaces

As a night guard in a pizzeria you watch cameras and survive until morning while a larger, more aggressive set of animatronics hunts you. Jump scares, limited resources and tense timing define it, with scattered lore hints on the side.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

Easy to pick up

A story-heavy entry in the horror series: as a technician in an underground facility you face short, tense nights with varied tasks rather than just watching cameras. The dark tale of Circus Baby and the animatronics drives the experience.

The Coma: Recut

Sneaking and hiding

A Korean 2.5D survival-horror in which a student is hunted through his nightmarish school at night by a killer. You sneak, solve puzzles and gradually uncover the mystery behind the nightmare.

The Caregiver

Sneaking and hiding

You take on the role of a caregiver in an unsettling Japanese horror adventure where tension and psychological pressure drive the experience. You sneak through oppressive environments and have to keep yourself alive.

Yuki Onna

Sneaking and hiding

You set out to find missing children in an abandoned mountain inn buried in ice and snow. It captures the feel of classic PS1 survival horror, where you hide, sneak and scrape by rather than fight.
