Slender: The Eight Pages

Dread and tension

You wander a dark forest at night with a weak flashlight, collecting eight pages while the Slender Man stalks you. Its minimalist design and creeping dread made the free game a viral horror hit.

Slender: The Arrival

Realistic visuals

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.

Wick

Dread and tension

You explore a dark forest alone at night with only a candle, hunting for the ghosts of lost children. Your candlelight is both protection and a limited resource, creating constant tension.

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.

The Forest

Open world

After a plane crash you build shelters and traps in a dense forest while tribes of cannibals stalk and attack you. Creepy mutant-filled caves and the mystery of your missing son drive the exploration, and it's best played with friends in co-op.

Rake

Dread and tension

You play Gordon Davis, a researcher hunting ghosts, Bigfoot and other cryptids. Its appeal lies in the eerie atmosphere and the tension between exploring and the constant threat of what lurks nearby.

SCP: Containment Breach

Dread and tension

You are a test subject trying to escape an SCP Foundation facility while escaped anomalies like the statue SCP-173 hunt you. Blinking as a mechanic, randomly generated corridors and constant dread make for a tense, scary experience.

Darkwood

Resources and survival

Darkwood is a bleak top-down survival horror where you scavenge a eerie, partly randomized forest by day and barricade your hideout against horrors by night. Its surreal atmosphere and deliberately cryptic story create constant dread.
