Tormented Souls

Dread and tension

A survival horror throwback to early Resident Evil with fixed camera angles, intricate puzzles and scarce ammo. You guide Caroline through a decaying mansion full of secrets and grotesque creatures.

Song of Horror

Dread and tension

A classic fixed-camera survival horror told in episodes, where an unpredictable entity stalks you. Characters can die permanently, and puzzles plus dread behind every door drive the experience.

Tormented Souls II

Dread and tension

Old-school survival horror where Caroline explores the decaying Villa Hess, solves intricate puzzles, manages scarce resources and fights grotesque creatures to rescue her sister from a cult.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Dread and tension

Defenseless in a gloomy Prussian castle, you hide from monsters, ration lamp oil and fight to keep your sanity instead of fighting back. A genre-defining horror classic built on physics-based puzzles and relentless dread.

Silent Hill: Origins

Dread and tension

A prequel to the first Silent Hill, in which trucker Travis Grady shifts between the real town and its nightmare twin, solving puzzles and scraping through clunky melee fights. Oppressive atmosphere and disturbing monsters are the main draw.

Alone in the Dark

Dread and tension

A pioneer of survival horror: you explore a cursed 1920s mansion, solve puzzles and fight sparingly against monsters. Its 3D characters on pre-rendered backdrops and menacing mood shaped the entire genre.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Dread and tension

Classic survival horror set on a gloomy island where you play as either Carnby or Aline: he leans on weapons, she on puzzles. Fixed camera angles, scarce ammo and flashlight-lit tension drive the dread.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Dread and tension

A claustrophobic first-person reboot of the series that traps you in the rotting Baker family estate in Louisiana, scraping by on scarce ammo while stalked by relentless hosts and solving puzzles. It trades action spectacle for intimate, grimy dread.

Silent Hill 2

Dread and tension

This remake of the horror classic follows James through the fog-choked town of Silent Hill as he searches for his dead wife. Oppressive atmosphere, puzzles and scarce resources serve a deep, psychological story.
