The Baby In Yellow

Dread and tension

You babysit a child in an eerie house and must keep it content by feeding, changing and playing with it. Every neglected need raises the tension until the child becomes something you can no longer control.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

Dread and tension

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.

Pools

Lavish presentation

A liminal-space exploration game that favors eerie atmosphere over conventional horror. You wander through endless, near-identical pool rooms, trying to orient yourself and find the way out.

Knock-knock

Dread and tension

A surreal horror game where you play a lonely cabin dweller who must survive the night by turning on lights and hiding from strange visitors. Its eerie, dreamlike mood is the main draw.

Dread and tension

You work a night shift watching camera feeds, reporting anomalies and delivering shady packages. It blends spot-the-difference tasks and time pressure with creeping horror where almost nowhere feels safe.

The Exit 8

Easy to pick up

You walk down an endless subway corridor and must spot any tiny anomaly: if you find one you turn back, otherwise you keep going. A single mistake resets your progress, turning calm observation into a tense, unsettling game.

Iron Lung

Dread and tension

You pilot a cramped submarine blindly through an ocean of blood on an alien moon, relying on coordinates, maps and photos. Its claustrophobic, oppressive atmosphere makes this short game an intense horror experience.
