Scary Games
Scary games let you feel a rush of fear in a safe space. Early classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill mixed tight resources with eerie sound to keep hearts racing. Modern titles build on that history with 3D audio, dynamic lighting, and smarter foes that stalk every step.
The category now covers many flavors of fright. Survival horror tests your nerves with low ammo and high tension. Psychological stories twist reality and make you question what is real. Jump-scare games rely on sudden shocks, while action horror gives you stronger weapons but even deadlier enemies.
Browser and cloud tech mean you can explore these nightmares without installs. Short sessions of Five Nights at Freddys style play work great on mobile. Co-op hits like Phasmophobia prove that sharing screams with friends makes them louder and more fun.
Whether you want to hide in the dark, solve a creepy puzzle, or chase friends as a relentless monster, scary games keep evolving. Put on headphones, dim the lights, and see how long you last.
