Layers of Fear

Do genius and madness go hand in hand? In the heart-stopping psychological horror Layers of Fear, the answer is a terrifying yes. Follow the spine-chilling stories of the Writer, the Artist, and the Actor by exploring locations like a sinister mansion and a creepy ocean liner. Possessed dolls! Faceless phantoms! Swarms of squealing rats! As your heroes become more and more unhinged, so too do the frightful scenarios.

This spooky saga combines a reimagining of Layers of Fear (2016) and Layers of Fear 2 (2019) with bonus chapters and a new overarching story. Each environment is full of unsettling objects to examine and scrawled notes to decipher: Peel away the layers of the ill-fated characters’ pasts to discover who—or what—is ultimately in control.


Resident Evil 4

One of the greatest survival-horror games of all time, Resident Evil 4 has been reborn in this visually stunning and awesomely enhanced remake.

Your mission: Rescue the president’s daughter from an odd European village overrun by a zombielike cult—and that’s just the beginning. State-of-the-art graphics, improved controls, and fantastic new features (like being able to craft ammunition) add even more frightening fun to this renowned classic.


Limbo

You wake up in a nightmarish, monochrome forest where giant spiders skitter past trees and seemingly benign shadows unfold into horrors. Is it hell? No, it’s Limbo: a masterwork of minimalist storytelling and one of the finest 2D puzzle-platformers ever made.

Suggestive sounds and shapes hint at terror just outside of view, making every step of the young protagonist’s hunt for his lost sister a gamble. But stay in one piece and you’ll be richly rewarded with a truly memorable adventure.


Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Haunted houses have nothing on the dilapidated southern mansion at the heart of the bone-chilling Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. This frightful adventure lets you explore a truly terrifying estate—and deal with its unpleasant residents.

After receiving an email from your missing wife asking you to pick her up at a farm in Louisiana, you head south and begin scouring the seemingly deserted grounds for clues. But you’re soon ambushed by the deranged Baker family—and it turns out they’re not even the worst things living there. Can you escape in one piece?


The WereCleaner

Life’s tricky for a werewolf custodian. In this darkly funny stealth game, work after hours at a busy office hosing down ink spills, vacuuming up litter, and trying to avoid eating everyone.

Between an increasingly unhinged security guard and a forklift accident in the warehouse, things are definitely not okay at Howlin’ Hugs headquarters. See if you can get through a week of late shifts without losing your paycheck or scarfing down all your colleagues.


The Medium

Marianne sees dead people—a wonderful gift and a terrible curse. In this gripping psychological horror game, guide the cunning hero through a dilapidated, Cold War–era resort full of shocking secrets that just won’t stay buried.

Use your psychic gifts to explore two realities simultaneously: the physical world and a bizarre spirit realm hosting a giant monster that doggedly hunts you. Astounding graphics and unique split-screen effects fuel uneasy vibes as Marianne solves puzzles and slings psychic blasts to defeat foes. Can you unearth the mysteries of the crumbling resort and the dark woods beyond?


Resident Evil Village

Your child has been kidnapped in the sprawling backwoods of Eastern Europe, a spooky region dotted with gothic castles, cavernous factories...and a village under siege by ravenous wolfmen!

Finding her will mean fighting ghastly supernatural foes like the towering vampiric noblewoman Lady Dimitrescu—and threats that are even scarier. Packed with explosive action and crafty puzzle-solving, the eighth main installment in the storied survival-horror franchise will stay with you long after you’ve finished.


Undying

This one starts where most zombie games end: You’ve been bitten! It’s only a matter of time before you join the ranks of the infected, but, as a mother, you can’t wait in despair. Instead, you spend the precious time you’ve got left teaching your son the skills to survive a harsh new reality.

Craft weapons and scavenge for supplies while protecting your son (and yourself) from a relentless zombie horde. Combining heartrending storytelling with intense survival mechanics, it’s a unique take on a classic horror game genre.


Resident Evil 2

Raccoon City has seen better days. The quaint mountain town has been overrun with the living dead—and in this upgraded remake of the iconic 1998 original, making it out in one piece will take guts, grit, and, yes, a whole lot of brains.

Peer over the shoulders of rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they sneak through the city, uncovering a sinister conspiracy along the way. New freedom of movement, reworked puzzles, and an auto-updating map bring this survival-horror classic up to speed—and you’ll need plenty of that to avoid the fearsome Tyrant who stalks you through claustrophobic hallways.
