Brutal Gamer writes: "The White Chamber is a point and click horror adventure, in which you play the part of an unnamed young woman, who literally just woke up in a coffin in a dark room. She has no idea how she got there, and you do not even know her name. After a short puzzle about the only other thing in the room, you begin your adventure to figure out where you are, what happened, and how you can get away from a nightmare taking inspirations from both Silent Hill and Event Horizon. This rather simple story-line is very well executed with plenty to do along the way, making for a very enjoyable game, if not one you will find relatively easy and exceedingly short to complete. (I think I did it in under 2 hours.)"
(Editor’s note: In celebration of Halloween, the Pixelitis staff is outlining 31 of their favorite horror games in Pixel-Fright-Us. The following games are not listed in any specific order.)
"At last we reach our frightening conclusion to Pixel-Fright-Us.
Science fiction is a perfect compliment to horror. Nothing is scarier than the fear of the unknown and the inhuman. Tales of beings that exist beyond the stars and hold dangerous intentions for humanity rank themselves as some of the oldest forms of horror and have translated into both great movies and great games.
Machines and rogue computer AI are just as deadly. What happens when something you create turns against you or deems you obsolete? One needs to only look at the evil computer HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey for the answer to that question.
These narratives, some of which are actual adaptations of science fiction stories, spawned games where fear is that much more heightened due to the distinctly inhuman forces...
"All Hallow’s Eve has commenced, and for those of us not going to costume parties, parades or trick-or-treating (you’re never too old after all) why not settle in with some free horror games?
Developed by several different indie game studios, the following six games are all short and spooky and should keep you up well past the witching hour.
