Nightmare Files: Clap Clap

Vast, open spaces

Phantasmagoria

Calm and deliberate

A 1990s point-and-click horror adventure with live-action video footage: as Adrienne you explore a sinister mansion and uncover its dark secret. Notorious for its graphic scenes and full-motion-video style.

The Exit 8

Vast, open spaces

Calm and deliberate

Slender: The Arrival

Easy to pick up

A short first-person horror trip where you gather clues through dark forests and abandoned buildings, weaponless, while the Slender Man closes in. Tension comes from darkness, a flickering flashlight and sudden jump scares.
