When Lone Survivor was released in 2012, it quickly became an indie horror darling. Taking a heavy dose of inspiration from early games in the Silent Hill franchise (especially notable when you realize that the games creator, Jasper Byrne, created a 2D “demake” of Silent Hill 2 called Soundless Mountain II), the game was able to craft a more interesting, and often times more frightening atmosphere than almost any recent major horror game. Now, Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut has made its way onto the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita and the experience is just as terrifying.
The creepiest games don’t always have photorealistic graphics.The ten games listed below might not look frightening at first glance, but they prove that pixel art can be genuinely horrifying.
Halloween is just around the corner and while many people will be binge-watching the Friday the 13th movies for the umpteenth time, you’re better than that. You want to actually be actively involved in scaring yourself. For that, you’ll need some video games.
I REALLY recommend the game “White Night” by Oosome Studios. The way the ghosts move are terrifying!
This would have been a perfect time to release a dead space HD collection EA! Would love to play it during Halloween week.
