"If you're one to keep up with all the biggest horror games and you're looking for something a bit more under-the-radar, here's a rundown of some choice indie horror games I've enjoyed this year. They didn't wait till spooky season to debut, but if you've not played them yet, they'll still make great picks for when the sun goes down."
"Luto finally debuted and arguably out-Kojima-ed his own similar work, P.T., giving players a strange haunted house story that goes places you can't possibly see coming. Pigface is a grimy horror-action hybrid akin to Leigh Whannell's Upgrade that will leave you feeling yucky, but uncomfortably satisfied. No, I'm Not a Human imagines something like Papers, Please in a world of creepy monsters disguised as humans, and it's up to you not to give the impostors entry."
"Heartworm is a love letter to PS1-style horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Where many retro-style horror games look to the PS2 era, Heartworm went back even further and built out a killer soundtrack to keep you there in spirit. White Knuckle is a game I previewed earlier this year. Like Pigface, it's far from a traditional horror game. Instead, it's essentially a climbing sim, only you're trapped in a dystopian facility that would seem to want you dead."
Luto delivers a haunted-house experience with surreal twists and a P.T.-like sense of dread. Pigface merges horror and action in a grimy, Upgrade-like package that leaves players uncomfortably satisfied. No, I'm Not a Human casts players as border control in a Papers, Please-inspired setting where monsters disguise themselves as humans. Heartworm channels PS1-era horror with a powerful soundtrack evoking Resident Evil and Silent Hill. White Knuckle functions as a climbing simulator inside a lethal dystopian facility. Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days offers a punishing 2.5D zombie survival experience. The Night Shift relies on entities that move when unobserved. Dead Take uses partial live-action to immerse players in an actor's psychological horror.
