As ordinary father Harry Mason, you search a fog-shrouded town for your missing daughter and slip into a nightmarish otherworld. Oppressive fog, unsettling industrial sound design and cryptic puzzles make this a defining psychological horror classic with multiple endings.

Silent Hill 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

Heather is dragged into a nightmarish otherworld where a mall, a subway and a hospital rot into rust, flesh and blood. Disturbing imagery, Akira Yamaoka's oppressive soundtrack and cryptic puzzles carry the game, while clumsy, desperate combat keeps every encounter tense.

Tormented Souls II

Resources and survival

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.

Silent Hill 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

A landmark of psychological horror where James's search for his dead wife through fog-shrouded Silent Hill becomes a harrowing confrontation with guilt and grief. Oppressive atmosphere, symbolic monsters and multiple endings make it unforgettable.

Dead Space

System Shock

Dread and tension

This remake of the cult classic leaves you alone on the Citadel space station, ruled by the deranged AI SHODAN. You explore sprawling interconnected levels, fight to survive, solve puzzles and piece together the story through audio logs in a bleak cyberpunk atmosphere.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Resources and survival

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.
