My favorite horror game is Dead Space. Why it, but because it is extremely atmospheric and it is about space.

Favorite horror game is Alien: Isolation. I like that it doesn't have much gross stuff but it's still terrifying and has excellent gameplay.

Favourite horror game is definitely SOMA. It's like low-key horror. There are very few jumpscares. But the atmosphere is incredibly oppresive, just walking into an abandoned deep base, and the existential dread is brutal. And the ending is pure genius. I kept over and over thinking about THAT ending. Definitely recommended.

My favorite horror game is Soma. I love how immersive it is and the setting at the bottom of the sea with all the crazy robots.

Dead Space 2. Feels like it was made just for me! I know at the time it was controversial that Issac had been given a voice, but I always loved that they did that. The flow & pacing, the atmosphere, the tension. Tension is a great word to use when describing the game. There's times I'd forget to breathe. :)

Runner-up is F.E.A.R. 2. That ending...

I'm not sure if I should say my fav horror game is a game I've not completed yet. But the 20-30 minutes I played Outlast left me so scared that I had to stop. I don't think any game I've completed has given me the same sense of "omg I'm going to die and everything is horrendously bloodthirsty and cringy to look at". Probably due to watching Romulus this weekend I might start with Alien Isolation first , which has been mentioned here. Tense atmosphere, when I tried it. And Alien is one of my fav scifi sagas ever. I liked Romulus, btw.
I'm not easily scared and most new horror movies I watch give me more tension than scares. The last movies that gave me real fear were The Witch (with Anya Taylor-Johnson) and Smile. Waiting to watch the 2nd. Just saying to say how amazingly horrific the little I played Outlast was, and sorry for derailing so much ^_^
(I'm also looking forward to playing The Thing Remastered, I made a thread about it and someone beeped me there recently about the game coming, so thrilled! I love the Carpenter's version. The 50's one gave me scares when kid, but it's pretty much nothing compared to the original short story, and derailing again...)

I don't do a ton of horror games(not a fan of jumpscares), psychological horror is great though.
so I would need to double check for the top... but Higurashi VN's are definitely up there

Imscared - A Pixelated Nightmare
The original from Game Jolt. It's the only horror game that scared me from start to finish. The audio design, the minimalism, the 4th wall breaking. And the fact that it kept me on the edge of my seat for its entirety. To be fair it's not long, but I never get tired of replaying it.

I'm a HUGE wuss!

So I almost never play any game tagged with "horror" but when I was younger I did like F.E.A.R, Silent Hill and Resident Evil games, nowadays tho they have to be very lite on the scary part.

Gonna go with F.E.A.R as my favorite.

Resident Evil

I'm not big into horror, but I love the Alien franchise fan. So Alien: Isolation and recently Scorn are favourites.

Return of the Obra Dinn. I'm not a fan of horror games or movies that rely on jump scares.
This game creates a sense of dread and unease, which goes way beyond what others achieve.

Well... I love horror movies, and watch A LOT of them, but, for some reason, horror games are too much for me...
The last one that I played, and can be considered as a horror is probably Pumpkin Eater. It is pretty short and deffinitely more creepy than scary, but it was better than I expected :)

My favourite horror game is Dead Space too, because it really gave me some good jumpscares

I've always liked the Resident Evil series, especially 2nd and 4th part with Leon as main protagonist. Maybe its because of zombies (Im a big fan), maybe the story and grimm corporation standing behind all problems, IDK. And the Remake of 4th part was a big WOW to me, its like I had my first playthrough once again :)

For me is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness_(video_game)
I find it in the cereals box , when i started the game it was very intense 😥

dota 2 with its wonderful community

Favorite horror game would be fobia St Dinfa hotel, ....I don't think I've played more than 3 horror games. Id probably only be interested if it has an amazing narrative and good lore. The worst one, no the worst game I've ever played will surely be Monstrum. It also takes the cake for the worst SG win as well. Hence why I cautiously enter for games!

Since ur also Mr. Movie thread, the best horror movie I've watched is called Tumbad. I didn't expect to be blown away by an indie movie like that. That movie made me watch regional cinema of my country.

Hey my fav horror would be SOMA probably, because of it's engaging story/narrative and incredible dense atmospere not to mention its underwater setting which is quite rare in games by itself. Definitely a mustplay.

Amnesia The Dark Descent - maybe because I played it over 10 years ago, but I still consider this horror to be the best, largely due to the great atmosphere

Interested in WL if possible!
My vote goes for
S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Metro, Resident Evil, and F.E.A.R

My favorite horror game is Dredge.

Never expected that i would get horror game feelings with/from it but the under water sounds and other elements in the night push a high tension.

I'll say Haunting Ground. I'm not a huge fan of horror games myself (I play them, I enjoy them, but they stress me out more than they should) but my SO loves them, but years ago we sat together and played Haunting Ground, mostly me playing them watching, and I really enjoyed both the game and the experience.

Doki Doki Literature Club, love psychological horrors in general, also weird and mind-bending stuff :)

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. I have it on GOG.
I expected typical jumpscares.
But the surroundings, dialogues, weird creatures, the people of Innsmouth and the way they talk/behave gave me eerie vibes throughout. I felt for Jack Walters as the story progressed. I understand why he completely lost it in the end.
The gameplay is somewhat janky. But the story and the environment kept me hooked till the end.

If you want to try it out, get it on GOG. Most of the bugs are fixed. But a third-party patch may be required to get through the last section.
