In celebration of these, we're looking at 10 of the most terrible ways its possible to die in a videogame. Whether it's from its sheer brutality, ridiculousness or just something highly irritating, these deaths will make you feel all kinds of emotions ranging from utter horror to extreme levels of frustration.
The tricks it pulls using the in-game voice chat can be truly terrifying. Sound familiar? A new card system adds a random element to the game that can turn situations on their heads for better or worse and amps up the replayability. What happens when you pair up the developers behind horror classics like Layers of Fear , Observer , and Blair Witch with Silent Hill veteran Akira Yamaoka contributing music, then top it all off with a cutting-edge real-time ray tracing graphics engine?
You get The Medium , a truly dark and disturbing third person adventure where you play as a psychic who travels sometimes in real time between the real world and the spirit world to solve a mystery in an abandoned eastern Europe resort town.
This one will stress your PC hardware as well as your psyche. Not only is the idea of exploring the famous nuclear disaster site Chernobyl scary in itself, but imagine if there were supernatural creatures roaming around as well?
Chernobylite feels like a sci-fi horror version of S. This year, Frictional delivered a treat just in time for Halloween.
Amnesia Rebirth takes place in the Algerian desert in , putting you in the shoes of Tasi Trianon, who—of course—wakes up with no memory. Blair Witch is pretty tense though.
Sometimes the simple concepts are the scariest, yeah? And sure, there are more traditional horror elements—cryptic speeches, otherworldly entities. If horror games are about making the player feel weak and powerless, then Pathologic 2 is one of the most successful horror games of all time. Every success is hard-won, and any fleeting catharsis like a breath of fresh air for a dying man. Supernatural phenomena bring about the scariest nightmares known to man in the form of monsters and zombies.
The night is dark and full of cruelty, so don't be surprised to find yourself covered in blood, splatter and gore. Recall the traumatising deaths of the Walking Dead, or the terrifying scares of Paranormal Activity and Hostel as you sit down in your comfortably gaming chair and enjoy our selection of online horror games. No matter how impenetrable the darkness may seem, in these games nobody can touch you kicking ass and taking names.
You won't be cowed by creepy music or endless darkness. Enjoy playing the best free and most scary horror games online on Silvergames. Flash Games. The eighth players really get all the goodies, however, as they get to play Jason Voorhees himself.
You can pick one of the eight different versions of Jason from the respective movies. Each version has different upgrades and abilities, like increased movement speed, weapon damage, and grapple strength. Since Jason is clearly the most fun to play, being over-powered and all, each player gets a randomly selected role per match. The game has been criticized for this, but it can be argued that this is rather accurate to how the movies are.
This is the oldest game on this list and some consider it to be the game that popularized the survival horror genre, much the same way Wolfenstein popularized the FPS genre. Alone In The Dark is the first to really get survival horror right, from inventory management to being nearly defenseless against monsters.
Inspired by H. Lovecraft, this game shows a lot of weird and wonderful monsters from the other side hiding in the oddest of places. Like a bathtub, for example, as any monster should in a horror game. As the player, you are equipped with melee combat weapons, usually a sword or dagger. In addition, the old controls force you to rethink combat very carefully and figure out how to properly hit your enemy without getting damaged yourself.
If you have an emulator and the patience of a saint, Alone In The Dark is worth checking for a fun history lesson in game development. You will really get to see where so many tropes in games like Resident Evil come from and how they evolved in later games. Though a great deal of the mystery is lost for this sequel, since the first one answered most of the questions, A Machine For Pigs still holds up as a good scary game.
Remarkably, the story continues with just as much interesting depth as you slowly realize the character you are playing is less and less innocent than one might usually presume. This unreliable narrator is uncovered with journal entries and the occasional speech from the antagonist determined to make you think you are even worse than he is.
The sanity meter is removed, a very unfortunate change, but that does not make the environment any less frightening.
Pig-headed monsters are still attracted by your light, like a moth to a flame, but this time the only things you sacrifice is a loss of sight and not knowing if the monster saw you or not.
That said, A Machine For Pigs lacks the interesting puzzles of its predecessor. They are boring, annoying, and do nothing to immerse you in the world of Amnesia.
There is no descent into madness when you are replacing fuses, and moving boxes in a crawl space. Though a rather short game, at about three hours long, Among The Sleep has both interesting gameplay elements and story. The gameplay elements include playing the part of a toddler, the act of hugging your teddy bear gives off an extra light, and much more that are plot relevant. As a toddler, your height and the basic understanding of the world make for compelling details, like the inability to read or how you get to things out of your reach.
This game might give parents a few heart tugs, like a two-year-old climbing around the kitchen and opening anything with a door. It only gets worse, as there is so much more to Among The Sleep than a child running from a scary monster. This game is about the journey of coping with childhood trauma and doing so through more abstract experiences like dreams that can help make more sense of something a toddler might not fully understand.
Infidelity is a sin that will never stop haunting you and your dreams in Catherine. You play the part of Vincent Brooks, who is hesitant to commit to the idea of marriage to his girlfriend Katherine. Just as Brooks begins to seriously mull over the situation, the beautiful Catherine comes along. His act of cheating haunts his dreams and Catherine is never letting go either. Catherine combines supernatural and role-playing elements which might be described as a platformer but is hardly that.
The goal of the gameplay is to get to the top of the tower, but it is not about jumping or climbing. Brooks must pull out blocks and push them to the appropriate spots to get higher, all the while some horrible monster is coming after him.
Nevertheless, Deadly Premonition makes it to the list with a compelling story, a unique cast of characters you will never see anywhere else, and deeply terrifying visuals that will stick with you forever. Despite being a little on the weird side, Deadly Premonition does tell a good story and the combat is an average FPS flavor.
This case turns out to be a part of a series of similar murders across America done by the Raincoat Killer. Unlike most horror crime games, Deadly Premonition also has survival elements. Not the lack of weapon type, but the feed your main character and make sure he puts on clean clothes type. It is an odd choice to be sure and does not really influence the main plot, though it is something that could be worked within a future sequel if there ever is one.
Japanese developers sure know horror and it is displayed yet again in Forbidden Siren. This game follows the events within a Japanese village called Hanuda. Isolated from the rest of the world, the village has some rather extreme religious beliefs that make living there, or even stumbling upon it, a study in survival and stealth. This is a psychic power that hijacks an enemy character so you can see through their eyes and hear what they hear. You cannot move them, however, but it is a useful tool to tell where your next objective is and how to get around the enemies.
However, what really puts this game in the history books, is the facial animation. This was done by taking images of real human faces from various angles and plastering them on the polygon game version. This actually ended with an exceptional result, easily making it a part of the motion capture development history.
This psychological horror twists the story of Alice in Wonderland by focusing less on the fantastical world of Wonderland, and more on Alice herself and her struggle to overcome her trauma-induced psychosis. The player alternately must traverse a corrupted Wonderland and a hallucination-wrought Victorian London as Alice.
Wonderland is separated into sections, each of which has a different theme, and a different memory as the prize. Each step you take puts you further along the path toward discovering the truth about how your family really died and simultaneously saving Wonderland itself. In Limbo, you control a little boy as he traverses a series of sinister environments on his quest to find his sister. The game uses an almost film-noir stylization to boost the visuals and ambiance into horror genre levels.
Failure, however, results in your vicious and often gruesome death. Limbo has been esteemed more as art than an actual video game. The absence of a direct narrative allows the player to come up with their own conclusions about the boy and his unfortunate situation.
Despite its short gameplay, Limbo is well worth the money, especially since it has been made accessible on so many different consoles, even iOS, and Android systems. This game technically counts as a puzzle platformer like its predecessor, but the dystopia in which it is set is unnerving enough to earn it a spot on this list. Inside is a platformer wherein you control a little boy who has to navigate his dystopian world. The goal of the game? Like any good game with horror elements, the goal is to survive.
Inside complicates this process by making the player complete clever environmental puzzles throughout. There are so many ways for him to die, many of them vicious, including dog-attacks or being shot by his pursuers.
You eventually begin to feel the anxiety of his flight just as if you too were running for your life. Little Nightmares is a game about an insatiably hungry little girl in a yellow coat named Six. The creatures you encounter are grotesque and hardly human. The object of this game is to hide from and evade the Guests as you ascend from the lower depths of the Maw, a hotel-like vessel that caters to the whims of the Guests.
Much like Inside, Little Nightmares is a survival horror platformer. Despite being a simple platformer, Little Nightmares tells its story through the background. The devil is in the details. This game relies entirely on its soundboard and its visuals to provide its horrific elements. The animalistic sounds of the Guests and the eerie music combine with the ghastly, filthy world create the necessary suspense.
This game follows Senua as she traverses Helheim to retrieve her lover from the clutches of Hela. While none of the mythology is faithful, this game shows an incredible awareness and accurate depiction of psychosis. Ninja Theory worked closely with neuroscientists, mental health specialists, and people with similar conditions to ensure that they would provide an accurate portrayal.
Stunning graphics and unparalleled use of voice acting have caused critics to applaud this game as a work of art. Truly, this game is one you must wear headphones while playing because the voice acting is absolutely crucial to getting the full experience. The vast majority of this game exists in a subaquatic city called Rapture during the s. Where once it was a playground for plutocrats of all kinds, it is now a twisted, macabre shadow of its former glory. BioShock is a biopunk game that immerses the player in an environment that makes them question a number of moral dilemmas, including whether or not a life is precious when it has been so thoroughly perverted.
You as the player must navigate through this first-person shooter under the direction of the mysterious Atlas, who very politely sets you on a number of tasks. All the while, you must fight off horribly disfigured, once-human Splicers. Return to Rapture in this sequel to the original BioShock game. This survival horror game tasks your character, Joel, with chaperoning a young girl, Ellie, across post-apocalyptic America in a desperate attempt to cure humanity of a fungal infection that turns those affected into rabid, zombie-like monsters.
Naughty Dog brilliantly based the strain of fungal infection in this game after the real-world Cordyceps fungus. What makes The Last of Us one of the best games across both PlayStation systems are the incredible graphics, intense gameplay, and a storyline that will have you sobbing in T-minus 20 minutes after you pick up your controller. The character development alone is heralded as one of the finest points of the game, with you as the player watching Joel become a little more human, and Ellie turning into one of the most badass characters in-game.
Every aspect of this game puts you in survival mode, and your actions in-game quickly become less about morality, and more about what it takes to get you to the next step. While it still used a lot of the mechanics from its predecessors, Resident Evil 4 is what changed the whole Resident Evil series from the survival-horror it was at the outset to the action-packed genre we know it as today.
It took a beloved character from Resident Evil 2, made him better, and then gave him his own game. The influence of this game on the industry as a whole cannot be overstated enough. Any 3rd person shooter within the last decade has aspects in it that were undoubtedly drawn from the success of Resident Evil 4.
