Corpse Party
Corpse Party proves pixel art can be deeply horrifying. Its sound design is phenomenal — meant to be played with headphones — and the wrong endings depict deaths so gruesome they rival any modern horror game. The voice acting sells the terror completely.
Slay the Princess - The Pristine Cut
Slay the Princess is a psychological horror visual novel built around a simple and suspicious mission: walk down into a basement and slay the princess, or the world ends. From there, everything spirals. Your choices reshape the story, the princess, and even the rules of reality, leading to wildly different paths and endings. It is horror through dialogue, implication, and escalating unease.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn perfectly captures the slasher horror film experience. The butterfly effect system means your favorite character can die from a seemingly trivial choice, creating genuine stakes. The twists and turns keep players guessing throughout the single-night timeline.
The Quarry
The Quarry delivers a polished summer camp slasher experience where every character can live or die based on your choices. The creature reveals are genuinely surprising, and the all-star cast brings authentic fear to their performances.
