Scrumptious indie horror treats 😱

4 spooky games to kick off the season

Signalis

Why It Matters

You play a lone android wandering the halls of a facility with a low-fi, sci-fi aesthetic similar to Alien. All of this is presented in a retro fashion that channels the horror classics of the PS1, right down to the low-poly graphics and fixed camera angles.

Still Wakes the Deep

Why It Matters

A haunting narrative game set aboard a rusted Scottish oil rig in the 1980s, Still Wakes the Deep is a return to form from developer The Chinese Room. The highly authentic depiction of the Scottish blue-collar workers, alongside the lovingly detailed rig, makes everything feel all too real.

Lost in Vivo

Why it matters

The most terrifying game I’ve ever played involves searching for your lost dog after it’s sucked down a storm drain. Once you awaken in the sewers, you’ll comes across haunting scrawls, disturbing confrontations, and very few tools with which to defend yourself.

Scarlet Hollow

Why it matters

From the developers of 2023’s indie horror hit Slay the Princess, Scarlet Hollow is a deliciously atmospheric and creepy visual novel with tinges of Southern Gothic and Appalachian folklore. Released in Early Access in 2021, it’s full of choices and primed for replayability. It’s a dating sim, too!
