And to absolutely nobody's surprise, they came for us next and started banning horror games from Steam and itch. For those of you who are asking: As you may know, itch and Steam were forced to remove or shadowban a bunch of games recently. Mainly pornographic games.

But that was clearly only the beginning and I was expecting it to hit horror next. And it did.

Here is a list of some of my favorite indie horror games and demos from recent memory.

Have a seat, this will take a while. Image

Mind you, I didn't have much time to try many games this year due to being overworked like a horse at my old job, but some of those that I did have stuck with me.

So some games are from 2024, some are from this year, but all of them are bangers and probably on sale right now.

Every once in a while I get messages from people asking me about what classic horror games to play first if they're new to the genre.

I decided to make a short list of classics that new horror game fans, especially younger people, could check out.

Most of you probably already played these games and know all about them. But there is a lot of young people entering the genre, so this list is mostly targeted at them.

I'm focusing on PS2 games so the titles aren't too old, but they aren't quite modern either.

The 2005 Keanu Reeves action horror movie Constantine had a movie tie-in video game.

Here is a thread about that game: Image Much like the movie itself, it's an action horror game leaning more on its action while using horror on a thematic level.

Twin Peaks: Into the Night

It's a PSX-style fan game adaptation of the classic series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch.

I had a chance to try out a small portion of the demo that's gonna be released on August 15.

Thread: Image If you are a die-hard Twin Peaks fan like me, then you also know that the series has a specific feeling that you can't really get from other media. Sure, there are those that could feel close to it, but they usually don't hit the spot. Image

Abandonware: The Horror Collection is, quite literally, a collection of mini lo-fi horror games found in an internal 3.5" Hard Drive with a sinister catch.

As you play through its contents, things start to warp and shift around blurring the line between fiction and reality. The game, on a narrative level, is about this unknown hard drive with its own operating system with nothing but horror games in it. The games mysteriously change and play with you instead, altering after every cycle.

Alan Wake 2 has two playable characters with their own concurrent timelines for you to play through.

Alan Wake - The Dark Place
Saga Anderson - The Pacific Northwest

So, how does the character-change mechanic work?

Short thread: First of all, the game won't allow you to change characters anytime you want like how you do in GTA V.

You will be able to do this in specific locations called Break Rooms. It is exactly what you could imagine. It's gonna have a coffee thermos as a save function too.
