That's why the most favorite game genre among gamers is horror. This kind of extreme causes a huge rush of adrenaline in the blood. Man feels himself literally on the brink. All facets of the sense of fear we have in early childhood. First we are afraid of some mythical monsters and monsters that lurk in dark corners, then we are afraid of paranormal phenomena. There are many fears, and it feeds the imagination of screenwriters, movie directors, developers, and game makers. They, as professionals, know for a fact that people will go to see horror, and horror games will be bought up by fans like hotcakes. Because people just enjoy the emotions of watching such scrimmages, they are overwhelmed with adrenaline and a sense of accomplishment. But when you watch from the sidelines, on the screen for the ongoing horror, you have one feeling, but if you yourself are a participant of this horror, it is quite another matter. The player experiences directly all the subtleties and nuances of the gameplay, feels fear and stresses from what is happening around him. That is why the popularity of this genre is just off the charts. The only drawback, horror games quickly lose their novelty in terms of graphics and gameplay. A man should be frightened, screaming with horror, jumping and jumping, but with the old projects, this number does not pass. The old games have horror atmosphere, but they can't scare much. Today we are going to list some of the games that will take your breath away. And if you decide to test your nerves, choose the appropriate project from the list.

SOMA

A game with sci-fi elements, quite dark and imbued with a horror atmosphere. All events take place at the underwater research station PATHOS-2, where tests and research are conducted. The station is isolated from the outside world and is inhabited by creatures similar to humans, but maddened by the forced isolation and loneliness. The staff of the station is infected with an unknown infection and is quite aggressive, as well as unfriendly robots and other inhabitants on the path of the player. The player is tasked with completing the entire station, and completing all the tasks assigned. Screamers are exquisitely and suddenly offered to the gamer during the gameplay, so that the player does not relax. The player is more intimidated by the long, cold and gloomy corridors than by the monsters living on the station. Unlike other horror games, the goal of this project is not just to scare the player, but to tell us a fascinating, double-bottomed story of the fate of the protagonist and humanity in general.

Dead Space

This project is one of the few with science fiction elements, created in the horror genre. Players are very pleased with the first part of the game, and passed with flying colors around the world. According to the storyline, the player finds himself in the future, here is quite deeply developed space, on the new planets is mining. With the spaceship, which is an engineer Isaac Clarke, received a signal about the incident of an emergency. The company the spaceship and engineer worked for sends a repair crew to the scene. When the workers arrive on the scene and enter the ship, they find themselves separated. The protagonist is left alone, cut off from his coworkers. He immediately begins to be tyrannized by the inhabitants of the large spaceship, the monsters that the former maintenance personnel of the flying machine have turned into. Necrophobes pursue the protagonist, just do not give him a pass. Isaac must make every effort to resist and preserve his own life. The protagonist must still accomplish one more mission, which does not give him peace. He must find his beloved girl, who is also on the spaceship. This is not an easy task he will embody throughout the gameplay. The game is imbued with a dark, heavy, tense atmosphere appropriate to horror, which is well set off by the soundtrack. Scenes of horrible necrophobes chasing the main character are saturated with panic and fear and make you just shrink inwardly.

Outlast

Outlast, this project gained its fame in the modern world as one of the scariest and darkest games. A horror game of the highest class with elements of pseudo-documentary. The protagonist Miles Upshur, leads a journalistic investigation into the dark affairs of a certain corporation that owns a psychiatric clinic. In order to do this, he came to an abandoned clinic for the mentally ill. Once in this hospital, Miles finds himself in destruction and insane chaos, with bloody madness waiting for him around every corner of the corridor. Events unfold very quickly, the situation changes instantly, the suddenness and unexpectedness make even the most experienced and professional players, who have eaten a dog in passing horror games, shudder. The atmosphere of the mental hospital is saturated with gloom and horror, around the main character there is a bloody showdown. All of this can knock anyone out. There is a lot of blood, murder and violence in the project, so you should keep in mind, that the game is not for kids. The dismemberment details are beyond the realm of reason. It is not suitable for children's eyes to explore, and fills the game with additional horror, disgust, and insanity. We see almost all of the game's action through the peephole of the camera, with the protagonist shooting in infrared mode. This is even more terrifying, and coupled with the soundtrack, makes the hairs on the player's head move. The hero is armed only with a camera, courage and dedication, so when he meets another psycho around the corner, who behaves aggressively, he is forced to flee. The whole game consists of running away and catching up, but they are so realistically presented to us that it feels like the psycho's hand is going to close personally on your throat. This is the scariest game of our time, in my opinion. Very scary!

Alien Isolation

After the Nostromo, the ship on which Ellen Ripley was traveling, disappears, her daughter Amanda sets out to find her fifteen years after the event. The player assumes the role of her daughter and plays as her daughter. As a result of her search, the girl discovers the existence of a lonely space station where the black boxes from the Nostromo are stored.

Once on the space station, the girl finds herself in a living hell. The Alien wanders around, hunting and wanting to infiltrate a new, uninfected body and then tear it apart from the inside. The atmosphere of the movie about Alien, exactly transferred to the game, the artists-designers and sound directors tried very hard, everything turned out very similar. The monster acts and appears super unexpected, it's hard to escape, but it's possible. We believe in you Amanda, defeat the monster and solve the mystery!
