5 Spooky Games To Play On A Cold & Silent Night

Nothing beats a burst of adrenaline that sends your heart racing or a chill down your spine. While what makes something scary differs from person to person, this list highlights some of the scary games I recommend that you may play alone or with company. Here are some Spooky games to play alone in a room on a cold, rainy night.

1) Until Dawn

Until Dawn is an interactive drama in which players take charge of eight young people who must live on Blackwood Mountain until dawn, when they will be rescued but beware of creature called wendigo which only can see movement. Cutscenes and third-person exploration make up the majority of the gameplay.

In a linear world, players control characters and search for clues and things. Players can also acquire totems, which provide them a glance into the future of what will happen next in the game’s story. All of the tale clues and mysteries that players have uncovered are kept track of via an in-game system. Check out the game on:

2) Amnesia: Collection

The classic first-person horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, A Machine For Pigs, and Justine have all been re-released into a collection. The player takes on the role of Daniel, a young Londoner who wakes up in the dingy corridors of Prussian Brennenburg Castle in the town of Altstadt with little to no knowledge of himself or his past. He only remembers his name, that he lives in Mayfair, London, and that he is being followed by a horde of weird, scary monsters. Check out the game on:

3) Resident Evil 2 Remake

Resident Evil 2 Remake is a 21-year-old masterpiece given a new spotlight after being remade from scratch. The game is set in Raccoon City in September 1998, two months after the events of Resident Evil. Most of the citizens have been turned into mindless zombies, due to an outbreak of a viral bioweapon known as the T-virus, manufactured by Umbrella Corporation. Check out the game on:

4) Phasmophobia

Phasmophobia is a detective game about ghosts. You play as one of up to four investigators who walk into various sites, ranging from roadside houses to asylums, and try to figure out what kind of spirit is haunting the place before leaving. Though it makes you feel like you’re Ed and Lauren Warren (from the conjuring) you won’t be exorcising the ghost. You’re there to only find out what ghost is it and its multiplayer functions makes the game more chaotic and fun. Check out the game on:

5) Alien Isolation

Alien: Isolation is a solo action-adventure game with a focus on stealth and survival horror. From a first-person perspective, the player controls Amanda Ripley as she explores a space station and completes goals while evading, outsmarting, and defeating opponents.

Activating computers, acquiring specified things, and reaching a specific place in the game are all examples of objectives. The player can sprint, climb ladders, slip inside vents, crouch behind items to disrupt foes’ line of sight, and peek over or bend over for a safe view. Try to avoid the Alien as they can hear the sounds you make and will bee line to your location if you make too much noise. Check out the game on:
