Quality horror gaming content and discussion.
We would like this sub to emphasize quality news posts and discussions regarding horror themed or focused gaming.
We are not really interested in creepy pasta posts/memes/reaction videos/let's plays, and more interested in finding and discussing horror gaming past, present, and upcoming.
Rules:
Rule 1: Observe Reddiquette
Rule 2: Submissions must be "horror-gaming" themed, not just horror.
Rule 3: Please DO NOT post LET'S PLAY, WALKTHROUGH, COMPILATION or REACTION videos. These can be posted in r/horrorgamevideos. Some exceptions may be made if it is an obscure game that has not been posted before, or it offers a mature analysis of a game, but ask first!
Rule 4: If you are an indie developer, or represent an indie development team, do not advertise your games until they are fully completed and released.

I'm looking for a VR horror that will make me shit my pants. I have tried countless such as the Exorcist Legion VR but that one was horrible, not scary one bit. Please recommend me a good horror game!
I want a game that has me going against a killer AI. Kinda like the Singularity from dbd or the Cerberus unit from the phantom liberty dlc for cyberpunk. I want to run and hide from a giant machine that could kill me on sight.
So, I watched a play through of a video game years ago, and I need help finding it, but I have VERY LITTLE information that I remember. It was about 6-8 years ago, and I definitely either watched Markiplier or Jacksepticeye play it. The only story aspects that I remember are that I believe it opens with you finding a cop car/crime scene, and you’re trying to find a missing boy in the woods. Later on you’re in like some sort of ¿mining town? In the woods, where there’s like a crazy man living? One of the main mechanics of the game is that you have a tape recorder and you are finding tapes and playing them to get more story information. I’m sorry I have so little information to go on but I figured that there was no better place to find someone who knows what the hell I’m talking about.
I’m looking for a horror game that will run on my laptop. I’ve played a lot of rpg maker horror games but Im looking for some more games.
Do you Know any horror games with a similar feel and style to resident evil 7
What's the best and spookiest Easter Egg you're proud you've found?
I was speechless with the Twins from "The Shining" in "Layers of Fear 2", at first I didn't understand what I was just stumbled upon, but when I did I loved the game even more.
Also found these Easter Eggs (most I haven't found) but I found it brilliant: https://creepybonfire.com/horrortainment/horror-games/video-game-easter-eggsthat-will-blow-your-mind/

I’ve played my fair share of horror games, and from my experience, I would say that a lot of them get tedious at around the 11 hour mark.
Of course, if you have more to offer, I would say to keep the game going as long as you can keep it fresh and engaging. Resident Evil 4 Remake for example is around 20-24 hours including the Separate Ways DLC, and I can confidently say that I was never bored.
But a lot more games: Evil Within, Alan Wake II, RE2 and 7 tend to lose me at around the 10 hour mark. 10 hours is a long time to be scared, especially if the new stuff isn’t very different from what came before. At around 10-11 hours I just start to stop caring and just want the game to be over so I can play something else.
With that being said, I think that, unless something really new can be added to spice up the experience (new enemies, interesting plot twists, or new mechanics,) then horror games should probably wrap up at around 7-10 hours.
Do you agree? Or do you think different, let me know!
I’ve recently started YT playing games I enjoy from horror games to weird experimental games to Minecraft and any other game that looks interesting, but just looking for some suggestions on some cool indie horror games or any weird sort of experimental type games if you know what I mean (sort of like LSD Simulator for the PS1). Any feedback and suggestions would be appreciated guys, thank you!
Upon starting the game I noticed this game is only a 2 channel audio output, even with DTSX or Dolby Atmos enabled. You get a weak 2 channel only output. I know most people these days have the mentality of thinking gaming headsets are king or something. But nothing is farther from the truth. Real 5.1 or more audio setups are so much better.
Having 2 headphone speakers emulate surround sounds is pretty terrible but has become the norm these days with people thinking it’s actually surround sound. 🤦♂️ I never really complained and I get that most people can’t have there games being to loud for the family’s to hear and headsets are there only option but now it’s become such a standard that high budget games like this horror game in the year 2024 ships with not even 5.1 audio? Are you serious!? This is a huge enegative to the game.
Playing something like Alan Wake that took full advantage of 11.1 audio was mind blowing. Most horror games are so much more immersive with atleast a 5.1 audio track. This is very disappointing. 2 channels of audio in the years 2024? We have evolved backwards!
Both are ripe for horror I think, but I've never really seen a horror game utilize either space to its fullest potential. Is there anything out there that could quench my gaming thirst?
And yes, I know about Dead Rising. But it's an action horror game, not what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to find the name of an old internet horror game that I used to play. I can't remember many details of it, but time frame would've been 2010-2014. It was a searchable game on Google and was point-and-click motion with very basic graphics.
The most specific detail I can remember from the game is that you started in a room/building and had to find clues to get out of that building. Then once you walked outside there was a water mill/wheel that you had to find more clues nearby to progress. The game is not A Night at the Watermill.
If this sounds familiar to anyone and can remember the name I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
I've played almost all of the chilla's art games, have some Puppet Combo games on my wishlist already and played all of the Fears to Fathom eps so far. What else would you guys recommend in this category?
I’ve been wanting to play the game for some time now, but the friends that also want to play this game rarely have time to play and are too Valorant obsessed right now to play this game atm. Is the Quarry fun enough to play on my own, or does playing with friends really enhance the experience and should I wait a few months for my friends to be available? I usually find horror games a lot more enjoyable when playing with friends, but man I just want to play this game.
Hi all! For me Survival Horror always feels like such a 90s genre. I know there are absolute classics from the last twenty-five years, but something about those empty corridors and the pick and and play feel won't leave my mind.
From this I wondered what was your favorite 90s survival horror game? Any classic moments spring to mind?
I always get youtube recommendation for these low graphic indie horror games that are super popular among youtubers. Is there a name for the category? Examples are Parasocial, fears to fathom, night of the consumer, shinkansen 0. Thanks for any help!
Curious if I have missed any.
Here’s my favorites: Tormented Souls, The Hotel, Signalis, Fear the Spotlight, Song of Horror
Tried but didn’t love: Them and Us (for some reason)
What else is there?
My partner and I have played a lot of horror games together. We started off with Until Dawn, then the Dark Pictures Anthology, and the Quarry. We have recently played all of the Amnesia games, the Medium, and Song of Horror.
We love puzzling and explore games. As we both study history, we also love anything history themed. Do you guys know of any horror console games that line up with the ones we've played and possibly our interests?
So I've tried Choo Choo Charles, Cry of Fear, Don't Scream, Buckshot Roulette (not really counting it, but tag says horror), Lethal Company, Little Nightmares 1 + 2, Outlast 1 + 2, Poppy Playtime, Project Playtime, Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, + 7(tags say it, don't crucify me), Slender: The Eight Pages, & Slender: The Arrival.
Looking for games that will make me scream and squirm like a little girl while streaming/recording. Outlast 2 started that way, but by the end, I got too ballsy. Hoping for a game that is terrifying from beginning to end.
I have to be honest I loved the game, genuinely had some good scares and felt like an actual horror movie. I accidentally killed everyone besides 4 people and 3 of them were infected. Only thing that dissapoints me is I don't get a badge called groovy when cut the guys hand off with a chainsaw but that's more of a nitpick. Also got me into the story games, gonna try and save everyone next game
I like horror and its premise. But I'm to scarred to finish horror games sometimes. Do any of you have a way to ease my way into becoming A MASTER, OF THE SPOOK
I know to some soulsbourne games are kinda horror esque. But imagine a soulslike that was fundamentally geared towards horror, but has all the complex battle styling of a soulslike game.
Who do you believe could develop such a game? To me I believe it would take a collab of studios or developers. But FromSoftware (or the main developers from there) would absolutely have to be part of it.
What do you think?
