30 Good Horror Games on Steam in 2025

Here are the good horror games:

  1. Alan Wake 2

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: Remedy
  • Price: $49.99
  • Download Link

A recent addition to this list, Alan Wake 2 might be the boldest yet. While it’s recommended to play the original Alan Wake first to better understand this complex sequel, we also offer a helpful recap of the original story for a quicker catch-up.

Alan Wake 2 is a standout in video game storytelling, featuring eerie moments deep in the woods, surprising plot twists, challenging boss fights, and some unusual scenes we won’t spoil. Its unique dual-campaign design makes Alan Wake 2 a rare and memorable horror experience.

  1. Alien Isolation

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, PC
  • Release Year: 2014
  • Developer: Creative Assembly
  • Price: $39.99
  • Download Link

The original 1978 Alien film remains a masterclass in tightly crafted extraterrestrial horror. In 2014, Creative Assembly captured that cinematic essence to create Alien: Isolation, a survival-horror game that arguably outshines the film sequels. Taking place 15 years after Alien, the game follows Amanda Ripley, Ellen Ripley’s daughter, as she seeks to uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance.

However, the abandoned Sevastopol space station is a deadly maze filled with hostile survivors, malfunctioning androids, and the relentless Xenomorph stalking you. Alien: Isolation offers the most authentic digital recreation of the Alien universe and its terrifying creature. While surviving against this perfect hunter is a daunting challenge, you have our full sympathy.

  1. Tooth and Claw’s library

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: Various
  • Developer: Various
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

Nothing beats getting a new video game completely free, and Itch.io offers a great variety of horror games at no cost. While these titles tend to be smaller and often developed by solo creators, the platform is full of innovative and experimental horror gems.

If you’re looking for a good place to start, I highly recommend checking out Dan McGrath’s games. Working solo under the name Tooth and Claw, he’s created some of my favorite horror experiences on Itch.io, regularly releasing new titles throughout the year. For truly inspired horror shorts that expertly unsettle players, try McGrath’s work—my personal favorite being Incident at Grove Lake.

  1. Amnesia: The Bunker

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: Frictional Games
  • Price: $24.99
  • Download Link

We aimed to feature only one game from each series on this list, which made choosing just one from the Amnesia franchise tough. In the end, we went with the latest entry because it introduces replayability that the earlier games lacked and is arguably the scariest in the series.

Amnesia: The Bunker takes place during World War I and challenges players to survive against a massive creature lurking within the walls, constantly hunting and never satisfied. Similar to the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation, the monster in The Bunker behaves unpredictably, with its goals shifting slightly each time you play. This makes every failure feel personal and every success all the more rewarding. Just remember to lock the safe room door behind you—if you manage to get back.

  1. The Mortuary Assistant

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch
  • Release Year: 2022
  • Developer: Darkstone Digital
  • Price: $24.99
  • Download Link

It’s hard to say what’s more unsettling about The Mortuary Assistant—the ghosts that haunt the mortuary or the unsettling realism of the gameplay itself. As a mortician, you’re tasked with cutting open bodies, draining blood, embalming, and preparing corpses for funerals or cremations. It’s not about being cruel; it’s just the nature of the job, but the cold, clinical process makes the experience feel deeply intense and eerie.

Soon enough, doors start slamming shut on their own, strange sounds come from the body bags, and shadows flicker in your peripheral vision. The new Definitive Edition for consoles and PC adds even more chilling content to a game already packed with multiple endings and hidden secrets. After playing this one, good luck getting a restful night’s sleep.

  1. Dead Space (2023)

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: EA Motive
  • Price: $59.99
  • Download Link

Dead Space was one of 2023’s standout hits, and despite a crowded field of blockbusters, this remake of the 2008 survival-horror classic was a strong game of the year contender. EA Motive didn’t just update the visuals to 4K; they rebuilt the sci-fi horror experience from scratch with smart improvements.

The result is relentless fear in the eerie emptiness of space, adaptive difficulty that keeps tension high, and stunning graphics so intense that every encounter with a Necromorph feels gut-wrenching.

  1. Hunt: Showdown 1896

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2018
  • Developer: Crytek
  • Price: $29.99
  • Download Link

Ever wondered how deadly Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees would be if people were armed and ready for them? Hunt: Showdown explores that idea by putting you in the boots of a hunter in 1895 Louisiana Bayou, tasked with tracking and killing terrifying monsters. To claim your bounty, you must not only hunt these creatures but also face off against other mercenaries competing for the same prize.

This mix of intense competition and brutal monsters that can easily kill you if you’re unprepared creates a thrilling experience. The 1896 update makes it even better by adding a new map, fresh characters, and revamped game systems—making it the best version yet of an already fantastic game.

  1. Little Nightmares

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Switch, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2017
  • Developer: Tarsiers Studio
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

The Little Nightmares series is set to release its third installment, introducing co-op for the first time. However, it still aims to capture the eerie atmosphere of the original game. True to its name, the series brings a child’s nightmares to life, plunging players into a disturbing, foggy world filled with strange, unsettling creatures of various forms.

While such a nightmare wouldn’t usually be welcome, as a game it’s incredibly effective. The monsters have a haunting, melting quality, as if crafted from flawed clay. Little Nightmares is a captivating horror-platformer, but it’s the haunting visuals and haunting sound design that linger long after the game ends.

  1. The Outlast Trials

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: Red Barrels
  • Price: $39.99
  • Download Link

Earlier versions of this list included Outlast 2, which remains the scariest game in the series for those seeking pure horror. However, after spending a year in Steam Early Access, The Outlast Trials officially launched in 2024 and quickly became one of the best co-op horror experiences out there. It brings back the series’ dark and unsettling atmosphere, now in a highly replayable format for up to four players.

Players team up across numerous maps to complete various objectives while evading terrifying enemies like Sergeant Coyle, Franco Barbi, and the haunting Mother Gooseberry. Though the scares aren’t quite as intense with friends, Red Barrels has crafted an engaging metagame that keeps players coming back for spooky rewards. And if you want the full horror experience, you can always play solo.

  1. Phasmophobia

  • Platforms: PC (Coming soon to Xbox Series X|S)
  • Release Year: 2020
  • Developer: Kinetic Games
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

A major Twitch sensation since its 2020 release, Phasmophobia puts a multiplayer spin on paranormal investigation. Equipped with plenty of ghost-detecting tools—but no ghost-busting gear—you explore various haunted locations while confronting hostile spirits.

Playing solo is already frightening, but with friends, the game’s voice recognition adds a deeper level of immersion as ghosts eavesdrop on your conversations and respond accordingly. For an even more intense scare, try it in VR for up-close encounters with the game’s ghosts and demons.

  1. Puppet Combo’s library

  • Platforms: Various
  • Release Year: Various
  • Developer: Puppet Combo
  • Price: various
  • Download Link

How terrifying can low-poly graphics really be? Apparently scary enough to make you call out to a few deities, thanks to developer Puppet Combo’s knack for retro horror. If you feel that games just don’t have the same edge they once did or you crave a nostalgic fright, Puppet Combo is the perfect place to start.

Inspired by PS1 survival horror, gritty ’80s slasher films, and classic VHS horror, this studio creates modern takes on vintage scares that’ll both delight you and sneak a digital knife into your back.

  1. The Complex: Expedition

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: pgWave
  • Price: $14.99
  • Download Link

No modern list of top horror games would be complete without acknowledging the rise of liminal space-themed titles. Steam is packed with these games, thanks to their growing popularity on platforms like YouTube and TikTok. After trying many Backrooms-style games, I’ve found The Complex: Expedition stands out for its atmosphere, story, and visuals—surpassing most others. If you’re not tied to the Backrooms vibe, Pools is another strong choice.

In The Complex: Expedition, you play as a worker exploring a mysterious liminal space. The why, when, and where remain unclear, but even knowing them wouldn’t help once you slip through reality into this unsettling, ever-shifting world full of dread and disorientation. If you haven’t explored the liminal space genre yet, this is the perfect place to start—just beware, it might soon take over your social feeds like it did mine.

  1. Resident Evil 2 (2019)

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2019
  • Developer: Capcom
  • Price: $39.99
  • Download Link

Choosing just one Resident Evil game for this list was no easy task. Even if you exclude the more action-focused entries, there are still plenty of horror classics to consider. Ultimately, we picked the Resident Evil 2 remake as the best representative of the series for several reasons.

While the original is a favorite, the remake is widely accessible and stands as a classic on its own. Navigating the twisting police station as Leon S. Kennedy creates a perfect sense of disorientation, which heightens the horror. But what really sets it apart is the relentless presence of Mr. X—a towering, ever-looming threat that turns Resident Evil 2 into the most intense horror experience the series has delivered. When you hear those heavy footsteps, head for a safe room—fast.

  1. Signalis

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2022
  • Developer: Rose-engine
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

Signalis is a nostalgic yet haunting game that honors its inspirations without getting stuck in the shadows of classic horror. Drawing from the PS1 era of Silent Hill and Resident Evil, it creates its own chilling top-down 2D pixel world and throws you straight into the action.

What makes Signalis unique is its steady atmosphere of unease—it’s not overwhelmingly scary, but it keeps you on edge the entire time. Sometimes, that constant tension is even more effective than sudden jump scares, and the unsettling environment perfectly prepares you for whatever horrors lie ahead.

  1. SOMA

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC
  • Release Year: 2015
  • Developer: Frictional Games
  • Price: $29.99
  • Download Link

Looking for a game that might spark an existential crisis? SOMA is a strong choice from the creators of Amnesia, Frictional Games. This sci-fi horror set deep underwater explores thought-provoking themes like identity, consciousness, and the essence of being human.

But it’s not just philosophical—deadly threats lurk in the shadows of the submerged facility. Corrupted humans, grotesque creatures, malfunctioning robots, and a manipulative AI ensure you’ll feel uneasy and frightened long after you stop playing.

  1. Until Dawn

  • Platforms: PS4, PS5 (Remaster arrives in October 2024 for PS5 and PC)
  • Release Year: 2015
  • Developer: Supermassive
  • Price: $59.99
  • Download Link

Supermassive originally worked on spin-offs for other PlayStation first-party titles, but Until Dawn marked a turning point, steering them to focus almost entirely on horror games. While they’ve created many great titles since, the original Until Dawn remains the best bang for your buck.

The game kicks off like a classic slasher flick, with a group of teens gathering in eerie woods for a night that quickly spirals into terror and bloodshed. With plenty of surprising twists, it keeps players on their toes. The Telltale-style decision-making adds a fun, suspenseful element, making it an ideal scary party game where friends take turns trying to keep key characters alive.

  1. Sylvio 2

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2017
  • Developer: Stroboskop
  • Price: $14.99
  • Download Link

Among the games on this list, Sylvio 2 might be the most overlooked, but that speaks volumes about how much we believe it deserves a spot alongside genre heavyweights. While the original Sylvio had its flaws, it showed glimpses of brilliance from its solo developer, and Sylvio 2 fully realizes that potential, delivering an impressively creepy experience.

In Sylvio 2, you play as a ghost hunter who records both audio and, for the first time, video footage of haunted locations. You then analyze these recordings to detect spirits. The authentic, unsettling detail in these captures makes it feel like you’re sitting alone in the dark with headphones, uncovering paranormal activity. Played in the right atmosphere, this low-budget horror gem shines with exceptional audiovisual design.

  1. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: Gun Media and Sumo Nottingham
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

People can be terrifying, but people armed with chainsaws, wielding farm tools, and wearing masks made from human skin are even worse—and that’s exactly what you’ll face in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Gun Media’s slasher offers a fresh 4v3 twist on asymmetrical multiplayer horror, delivering unique jump scares while staying true to the original film’s legacy. Faithfully recreating the iconic scares, the game offers an intense chainsaw-fueled cat-and-mouse experience full of suspense and tension.

  1. Observation

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2019
  • Developer: No Code
  • Price: $24.99
  • Download Link

No Code might soon gain much greater recognition with Silent Hill: Downfall, but horror enthusiasts shouldn’t miss out on Observation—a clever, slow-building sci-fi horror experience set on a haunting space station. Drawing inspiration in style and sometimes content from classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien, Observation crafts its own unique story that’s both deeply unsettling and captivating.

In terms of gameplay, it leans more toward an adventure game than a typical survival-horror title, but that doesn’t mean it lacks scares. Featuring a central mystery with a twist ending you won’t see coming, Observation stands out as one of the most atmospheric and unforgettable games on this list.

  1. The Blackout Club

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4
  • Release Year: 2018
  • Developer: Question
  • Price: $29.99
  • Download Link

For players let down by Redfall, The Blackout Club offers a worthy hidden gem as an alternative. Like Redfall, it draws elements from the immersive-sim genre, pitting a mismatched group of heroes against ancient terrors—but does so with a slower pace and a more refined execution of similar concepts.

In The Blackout Club, cooperative stealth-horror takes center stage. Players join forces to venture beneath their suburban streets, uncovering a cult that abducts victims and turns some into unsuspecting, sleepwalking pawns of its dark agenda. Silence is crucial here—when things spiral out of control and the noise erupts, you don’t just hear the chaos, you feel it.

  1. Lethal Company

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: Zeekerss
  • Price: $9.99
  • Download Link

Co-op often dulls a game’s fear factor, but Lethal Company proves it can do the opposite—some of its most terrifying moments happen when you’re playing with friends. Here, up to four players venture into a nightmarish world to gather resources for “The Company” and hit strict revenue targets.

That’s far easier said than done. Stray too far from your teammates, and the combination of proximity chat and maze-like corridors can leave you alone in the dark with predators lurking nearby. Even with upgraded gear like radios, flashlights, or modest melee weapons, your squad remains fragile. Meeting your employer’s demands is a constant uphill fight—while feeding the creatures in the shadows is dangerously easy.

  1. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners

  • Platform: VR
  • Release Year: 2020
  • Developer: Skydance Interactive
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

If you’ve got a VR headset, this is the horror game you should be playing—and if you don’t, it might be the perfect reason to finally get one. Set in The Walking Dead universe, Saints and Sinners drops you into the deep south as a first-person survivor. Its gritty, highly interactive combat system offers a huge variety of weapons, from the expected guns and knives to improvised tools like shattered bottles and screwdrivers.

Each stage serves as an open-world hub, packed with interiors to explore and multiple paths to your objectives. With its subtle immersive-sim design (also found in the sequel, Retribution), you can plan, adapt, and improvise to survive. But stay too long in any location, and the horde will inevitably hunt you down. It’s not just one of the best VR horror games—it’s one of the best VR games, period.

  1. Silent Hill 2 Remake

  • Platform: PS5, PC
  • Release Year: 2024
  • Developer: Bloober Team
  • Price: $69.99
  • Download Link

The remake of one of the most celebrated horror games ever surpassed expectations, with Silent Hill 2 Remake standing as a chilling and unforgettable survival-horror experience in its own right. While it draws heavily from Konami’s masterful 2001 original, it also takes deliberate creative risks, expanding the game in thoughtful ways. The result is a visually stunning and deeply unsettling journey that resonates with both newcomers and longtime fans.

If you’ve somehow avoided spoilers for this story over the past 25 years, approach it with fresh eyes and ears, ready to immerse yourself in its oppressive yet alluring atmosphere. After years of seemingly preparing for the task, Bloober Team was handed the keys to the Silent Hill legacy—and they delivered spectacularly.

  1. The Headliners

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2025
  • Developer: KAFI
  • Price: $7.99
  • Download Link

Lethal Company may deserve its own spotlight, but it’s also spawned a wave of similar titles—and The Headliners stands out as one of the best, even in early access. Here, up to eight players take on the role of photojournalists navigating a city overrun by monstrous aliens. The goal is to snap the perfect shots for cash—without losing life or limb in the process. The creatures range from small terrors to towering, Godzilla-scale threats, and the game’s found-footage style gives it a full-on Cloverfield feel.

Every round plays out differently, with its run-based design cranking up the difficulty after each successful mission. Balancing real scares with laugh-out-loud moments, The Headliners is shaping up to be a standout in the co-op horror scene.

  1. Slay the Princess – The Pristine Cut

  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Xbox One, PS4, Switch
  • Release Year: 2023
  • Developer: Black Tabby Games
  • Price: $17.99
  • Download Link

Slay the Princess is the only point-and-click visual novel on this list, and even if that’s not your usual style of horror game, it’s worth making an exception. Presented in striking black-and-white, the story begins with you stumbling upon a cabin where a princess is locked away in the basement. A narrator insists your one mission is to kill her to save the world. But why? What if you refuse? Shouldn’t you at least hear her side first?

The game anticipates every question you might ask, offering dialogue options to explore them all, then sending you down twisting paths of multiple endings and unexpected metanarrative turns. While it’s not “scary” in the conventional sense, it’s undeniably dark, thought-provoking, and perfect for players ready to dive deep into its unsettling narrative.

  1. REPO

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2025
  • Developer: Semiwork
  • Price: $9.99
  • Download Link

REPO has become one of 2025’s biggest breakout hits—and arguably the biggest if you’re talking horror games specifically. Created by a small team and inspired by Lethal Company, it puts groups of players in the role of antique collectors venturing into haunted locations to recover valuables, all while avoiding the game’s diverse roster of terrifying monsters.

As with other Lethal Company-style titles, much of the appeal comes from learning each creature’s quirks—like the shotgun-toting blind man whose hair-trigger aim reacts to the slightest noise, often sparking chaotic chain reactions of teammates meeting explosive ends. Its physics-driven gameplay adds an extra layer of unpredictability, making REPO stand out in the genre with equal parts co-op hilarity and bone-chilling tension.

  1. Look Outside

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2025
  • Developer: Francis Coulombe
  • Price: $9.99
  • Download Link

The solo-developed Look Outside has quickly built a reputation as one of the year’s standout hidden gems. You play as someone trapped inside their apartment building, where simply glancing out a window transforms you and your neighbors into grotesque monsters. To survive, you’ll navigate the pixelated halls, battling a bizarre and unsettling roster of creatures that are as difficult to explain as they are to kill. The game blends horror with RPG elements, featuring turn-based combat and exploration reminiscent of classic Pokémon—if filtered through a bad shrooms trip.

With multiple endings and rich lore for those who dig into it, Look Outside offers plenty of replay value. What began as a small itch.io experiment has evolved into a polished, ambitious horror-RPG that might just have you pulling your own curtains shut before long.

  1. Zoochosis

  • Platforms: PC
  • Release Year: 2024
  • Developer: Clapperheads
  • Price: $24.99
  • Download Link

Bodycam horror games have exploded in popularity on Steam, and one of the most anticipated among them is Zoochosis. In this unsettling title, you step into the shoes of a zookeeper whose job takes a dark turn when a mutant virus begins spreading through the zoo, transforming the animals into terrifying abominations.

Your mission is to track down the infected creatures and develop a vaccine to cure them—all while steering clear of those already beyond saving. With its mix of intense scares and multiple possible endings, Zoochosis keeps players coming back for another round of terror in the hopes of finally securing a good outcome.

  1. Five Nights At Freddy’s

  • Platforms: Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One
  • Release Year: 2014
  • Developer: Scott Cawthon
  • Price: $4.99
  • Download Link

Another hugely popular horror franchise that got its start on Steam is Five Nights at Freddy’s. Since the breakthrough success of the first game—where players survive the night shift fending off murderous animatronics—the series has expanded with numerous sequels that build on the original’s simple but effective concept.

The original Five Nights at Freddy’s is considered a classic, boasting some of the highest review scores on its Steam store page. It’s also available at an affordable price, making it an easy pick for anyone curious to experience this tense and unnerving horror staple.

  1. The Forest

  • Platforms: PC, PS4
  • Release Year: 2018
  • Developer: Endnight Games
  • Price: $19.99
  • Download Link

Many survival horror games challenge players to brave hostile forests, but few match the impact of The Forest, first released on Steam in 2018. In this game, you’re on a desperate mission to find your kidnapped son while fending off deadly cannibals and grotesque creatures lurking on the island.

The horror intensifies as you explore the island, uncovering the fate of other passengers from the crashed flight. Moments spent hiding in darkness, praying no monsters show up, only deepen the sense of dread. This immersive atmosphere is exactly what makes The Forest one of the top horror experiences on Steam.
