Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted
Help Wanted transforms the already terrifying FNAF formula into a visceral VR nightmare. Having Freddy, Bonnie, and the gang lunging at you in full VR creates some of the most intense jump scares in gaming.
Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion
Spooky's brilliantly weaponizes your expectations. The cute beginning lulls you into complacency before introducing genuinely terrifying specimens. By room 500, the cardboard cutouts have been replaced by nightmarish creatures, and the shift is deeply effective.
Ao Oni
Ao Oni's simplicity is its strength. The grotesque design of the Ao Oni itself — its bulging eyes and distorted face — is iconic, and its unpredictable appearances while you are focused on puzzles create genuine shock moments.
