horror game

Scary interactive entertainment

A horror game is a video game designed to frighten players through atmosphere, suspense, and disturbing imagery.

The genre ranges from survival horror, where resources are scarce and combat is risky, to psychological horror that unsettles through narrative and environment rather than explicit threats.

I can't play horror games alone at night.
