#SpookyKookyHorrorGames

When I was just a young boy, my father would drive me deep into the woods and leave me there overnight with nothing but a gun and a can of beans. The rules were simple, if I survived until the morning I could go to Disneyland with him the next day, but if I ended up getting eaten by the wildlife or the wandering fentanyl addicts then I would forever be considered a loser. This video game helps to capture that feeling from my youth, the raw fear of it is enough to keep your palms sweaty and your heart racing. Sure, in the game you're shooting necrotic demons from some other dimension, but you can't get much closer to a fentanyl ravager than that.

Trapped in a Bunker...with a Other wordly creature!!

Summary: Left alone in a desolate WW1 bunker with only one bullet remaining in the barrel, it's up to you to face the oppressing terrors in the dark. Keep the lights on at all costs, persevere, and make your way out alive—a genuinely intense horror experience. Verdict: Amnesia the Bunker is different from your average game out of the series. This time you can fight back, but watch your ammo. The light is your advantage, but it can come at a price if you aren't watching your stopwatch.

Civilization’s grand strategy meets QAnon-style conspiracy theories in this wonderful, weird game

SHOULD I PLAY THE FABULOUS FEAR MACHINE? Definitely give this game a shot if you enjoy pulp comics and grand strategy games. The Fabulous Fear Machine was created by Fictorama Studios, the same developers behind the equally unhinged and enjoyable Do Not Feed the Monkeys games. Like that game, The Fabulous Fear Machine is all about being in charge of a force with the power to shape the world. This time, though, you control that force on a much broader scale, slowly spreading your dark influence across a series of regional maps. It’s a brilliant twist that blends together

A GAME YOU REFUSE TO PLAY AGAIN FOR AN ODD REASON?

At some point, there has been at least one game that you have come to the conclusion that you didn't wish to play any longer for a reason. Even if the game in question was one that you enjoyed playing for extended periods of time throughout various years, one day it all came to an end with you never playing it again. Story Childhood It was the year 2004, three years after the Nintendo Gamecube had been released. By this point, the majority of gamers around the world had already moved on to the more exciting consoles that were available since Nintendo to most felt more childlike, especially the the disappointment from the release of

This is the mobile remake of the iconic psychological horror game developed by Enigmatic Studio. This remastered version delivers a haunting narrative experience, improving graphics, audio, and fluidity compared to the original. It's essentially a first-person horror game with strong exploratory elements and environmental puzzles, designed to immerse us in a constantly tense and disturbing atmosphere. Everything revolves around a nameless protagonist who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned building, with no memory of how he got there. From the first minutes, a sense of disorientation sets in: silent corridors, flickering lights, and rooms that seem to change layout. Through scattered documents, audio recordings, and sudden visions, we discover that the place is linked to psychological experiments and traumatic events from the past. The protagonist seems to have a direct connection to what happened: fragments of memory gradually emerge, revealing a story of guilt, mental manipulation, and distorted reality. The narrative plays heavily on ambiguity: is what we see real or a figment of the protagonist's mind?  Sudden appearances and environmental changes help maintain the tension until the finale, where the pieces of the puzzle come together in a revelation as disturbing as it is surprising. The gameplay is structured primarily in first-person, with free exploration of the environments, collection of key objects, solving environmental puzzles, and scripted events and sudden moments of tension. There is no combat here. The setting is one of the game's strengths: claustrophobic corridors, dark rooms, realistic ambient sounds, and a key audio component. The remastered version improves textures, dynamic lighting, and stability on modern devices, making the experience more immersive. I recommend it to lovers of narrative psychological horror. It doesn't focus on excessive jump scares, but on a constant atmosphere of unease and mystery. The remaster enhances an already interesting project, making it more accessible and fluid on mobile. A short but intense experience, capable of leaving a lasting impression, especially for those who love ambiguous and profound stories.

My God this game! A horror-puzzle-interactive game where we have 7 days to spend with a cursed painting in a studio. Many painters tried to paint it but eventually died, the only reason? Not to upset the girl in the painting. The game has a very good story line and the experience itself was very unique. You have to find the hidden objects , solve the puzzles given by the girl in the painting and paint her. The objects you place and the color you choose decide your fate. If she gets angry then it's your end. And the number of times I have been killed is uncountable. But I loved that, I loved the vibe, the sarcastic girl, the music is just so amazing. Everything is a part of ideal recipe for a horror game, the dark theme, a sad horrifying story, the lullaby music yet in between all this you are painting and adding colors to complete her. The sound effects and visual effects when you choose the colors from the palette were astonishingly good. The art work was simple 2D, the puzzles were moderately challenging but it was all so much fun because every hint you need comes from the girl's dialogues, the objects in the room, the text logs on your phone. I really loved how simple and addictive this game was. They kept everything simple but UNIQUE and INNOVATIVE ideas in terms of gaming experience.I also liked how pretty the girl was. Loved it!!!!!

Weird horror game Garten of Banban 3 has become a YouTube sensation - but is it any good?

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Wow, this is way harder to answer than it usually is. I would say skip Garten of Banban 3 if you’re looking for what might traditionally be called a “good” game. But on the other hand, if you’re looking for something almost inexplicably weird—like just so strange that you almost can’t help but enjoy it—then it might just be worth playing. As with previous entries in the series,

Five ways to save the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie from sucking

It’s no secret that Five Nights at Freddy’s was one of the worst films I had the displeasure of viewing in 2023. It was boring and humorless, and worst of all, there weren’t nearly enough murderous animatronics causing mayhem. However, I’ve always said knowing your audience when it comes to adapted properties is essential. Fans of the series showed up to make it one of the most successful movies of last year.

Get sent on a roguelike mission from the Vatican in stylish horror shooter Witchfire

Developer The Astronauts hasn't put out a game since 2014's brilliant adventure game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Their next project has finally entered early access, though, and it's very cool and very different from their last release...in a good way! The new game is titled Witchfire, and while it shares spooky vibes with The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, the core of the game is a roguelike shooter. If that change sounds jarring, you should know that much of the team at The Astronauts was previously at developer People Can Fly, the studio behind satisfyingly over-the-top shooters like

CLICKOLDING - WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WITNESS!?

CLICKOLDING Developer: Strange Scaffold Publisher:  Strange Scaffold Released: July 16th, 2024 Price: $2.99 USD As I prepared to load up the recently released CLICKOLDING, I had a fundamental understanding of what it was all about and what I was getting myself into. This is a play on the concept of being or taking part in the act that is commonly referred to as "cuckolding," but the twist is that it is portrayed in this game as the act of clicking.

You’d have to be brainwashed to join up with this messy horror game’s cult - Unholy Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Skip this one. Unholy starts with an intriguing concept: You play as a mother and devout member of a strange modern-day cult who finally leaves the flock after her son is horrifically sacrificed. It’s a killer hook, but it’s sadly wasted on a game with subpar everything else—writing, voice acting, level design, stealth mechanics, all of it. TIME PLAYED I played around three or four hours of

CLOUD GAMING - HEAVEN DUST 2 - YOU A CLASSIC HORROR FAN?

Game: Heaven Dust 2 Platform: PC Genre: Zombies / Survival Horror / Puzzles Released: Jan 6th 2022 Price: $11 🔗Join the Playfest >> https://www.taptap.io/events/playfest2023winter 📅 Schedule Dates: December 23, 12 AM PT - January 7, 11:59 PM PT. Playfest Winners & Player Rewards Announcement: January 8, 12 AM PT. MY TAPTAP CLOUD GAMING EXPERIENCE Abhorrent and extremely irritating. One aspect that set this game apart from others through Cloud Gaming was the user interface's of shooting with a weapon. The weapons serve almost no purpose due to the requirement of aiming with one's finger until it locks onto the creature, which severely restricts movement. Following that, you must release your finger from the target after pressing the gun icon which locks it in place.

#SpookyKookyHorrorGames

I've play a ton of horror games and most of the time, they resort to cheap jump-scares and having a bad atmosphere. But when I saw this game, I was stunned. Unlike most horror games, you are fixed in a tiny office, looking through cameras to see where the animatronic robots are. What's makes this even more creepy is that the story takes place in a kids pizza parlor where animatronic robots are based on character's from the pizza parlor. This game will scare you and leave you scared for the rest of the night.

PAPER LILY CHAPTER 1 - YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!

Game: Paper Lily: Chapter 1 Platform: PC Genre: Free to Play, Psychological Horror, Adventure, 2D Overview I believe many are hesitant to try new games, particularly those that look and feel like games they have grown to dislike, such as most RPGmaker games, which are better described as games with little attention to detail or charm, using the same assets and boring generic characters regardless of the story behind them most of the time. I've seen several people say that this is an

Uncover creepy radio signals in this sci-fi horror game - Oxenfree II: Lost Signals Quick Review

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of sci-fi, analog horror, or just like narrative-focused games. Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a direct sequel to the original Oxenfree, but it’s surprisingly friendly to newcomers. Set five years after the first game, Lost Signals follows two brand-new characters: small town handyman Jacob and stoic screw-up Riley. There are moments that will hit harder if you’ve played the original, but it’s not overly reliant on old material, and it should make for a satisfying experience even if you treat it as a standalone game.

A disappointing co-op experiment for this spooky series - The Outlast Trials Quick First Impressions

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? I strongly recommend skipping The Outlast Trials for now, unless you have a group of three other friends who all love the previous Outlast games and who are all available to play together at the same time. The Outlast Trials is a bold experiment for developer Red Barrels, taking the basic elements of its stealth horror franchise and adding co-op and live service elements for the first time. Unfortunately, that experiment is a failure, at least in its current state.

Are you afraid of the dark? Little Nightmares is on mobile, and it's incredibly creepy

SHOULD I PLAY LITTLE NIGHTMARES ON MOBILE? Play it, but use a controller if you can. Little Nightmares is a terrific puzzle adventure game, and the mobile version looks fantastic, but the touchscreen controls can be difficult to deal with. Thankfully, the game offers full controller support, so if you’re struggling to push a chair or jump over a large gap, you can switch over to something smoother. Even if you don’t have a controller to play with, this creepy-yet-cozy game is worth a closer look.

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THIS FANTASTIC HORROR STORY!

It's not often that we find developers willing and ready to put in a lot of effort to create high-quality video games for free. Normally, there is some type of give and take that makes it more probable that they will eventually sell a full product and that this is only the prologue, but you would be astonished to learn that this is actually the result of a previous prologue from a previous game they made called

Jump scare! Paper Lily is a free horror RPG about anxiety, monsters, and touching grass

While there are plenty of monsters, the game also touches on real-world horrors, like bullying and social anxiety.
