Only the bravest will survive…

MADiSON
We’re starting strong with one of the scariest games of the year, which is available on all platforms! MADiSON will take you through a psychological horror journey, as you complete puzzles, take pictures, and investigate your surroundings with your camera. Every character features a disturbing story that will engage you in the main storyline. You will never be alone while playing this game, so be sure to look behind you…
Content Warning: Death and cadavers, blood, suicide, decapitation, dismemberment, gore, survival horror, nudity, and lots of jump scares!
The Forest
Picture this: You’re a passenger on a flight when suddenly, the airplane begins to malfunction, crashing in the middle of a forest. You are the only survivor, so you must gather materials and resources around you to make sure you survive until someone rescues you! This game combines survival elements with a horror story, as you can build and explore the mysterious land while being aware of some… not-as-friendly creatures. The Forest is perfect to play by yourself or with 3 of your friends over on PC or PlayStation 4!
Content Warning: Death and cadavers, blood, decapitation, dismemberment, gore, survival horror, and nudity.
The Mortuary Assistant
Congratulations on getting an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary! The Mortuary Assistant brings you inside your new workplace to cover a late-night shift. Will you be able to complete your tasks and make it out alive? You can try your luck on this horror video game with your PC. Make sure to take notes of everything that’s… out of place.
Content Warning: Disturbing imagery (including blood, gore, and the embalming process), drug references, moments of self-harm, and lots of jump scares!
Resident Evil Village
Whether you are a veteran playing the newest Resident Evil game or you are unfamiliar with this saga, you will quickly realize that Ethan Winters can’t catch a single break. Just when he thinks he can forget all the horrific things he has endured in the past, darkness comes back to haunt him and his family. Resident Evil Village brings us an incredibly immersive first-person experience as we go through multiple locations, meet new characters and join some of the iconic peeps from the series. This game is available on all platforms!
Content Warning: Decapitation, dismemberment, gore, graphic violence, horror, kidnapping, sex, and trauma.
Our Favorite Five Nights at Freddy’s Games
Five Nights at Freddy’s is a must on our horror game bucket list! All of the games have something different to spice the iconic saga up. Here are our two recommendations:
This series is known for placing you inside a pizza parlor to check on the dangerous animatronic characters, but Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 brings you the scary creatures into the only place in the world that felt safe: your bedroom. You must protect yourself until 6 am every night with your flashlight as your loyal companion. Put your listening skills to the test with this scary game on your PC!
Content Warning: Flashing lights, loud noises, and lots of jump scares!
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach is the latest game of the saga, with high-quality graphics and more missions (other than surviving) throughout Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. This new pizza place is huge! It includes themed attractions inside, so it will take you longer to finish it, making it a perfect horror game to play throughout October! You can play it on your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox in addition to your gamer PC!
Content Warning: Flashing lights, loud noises, and lots of jump scares!
