Horror Games
Horror games have scared and thrilled players since the pixel days of Haunted House on the Atari 2600. Through titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, the genre grew from simple jump scares to rich stories filled with dread. Better graphics, surround sound, and clever design now let fear crawl right under your skin.
Why do we keep coming back? The answer is safe danger. A horror game lets you face the unknown while sitting on your couch. This controlled fear, called benign masochism, sparks adrenaline without real risk. Streaming has made the fun social too, as friends laugh or scream together when a monster bursts from the dark.
Most horror titles turn everyday tools into precious lifelines. Limited bullets, dying flashlights, and creaking doors force careful play. Stealth, eerie sound cues, and twisted camera angles add extra tension. Some games even play tricks on your mind, warping scenes when a sanity meter drops.
The category now spans many flavors. Survival horror keeps you resource-poor, psychological horror toys with perception, and asymmetrical multiplayer flips friends into hunters and prey. Whether you crave slow dread or quick jump scares, there is a chilling path waiting for you.
