Horror games that frighten not so much with the monsters as with what's going on inside the protagonist's — and the player's — head. Growing anxiety, an unreliable reality, strange dreams and memories, and the unspoken: these games play with perception and leave a lingering aftertaste. A classic of the genre is Silent Hill, and newer titles include many short stories that can be enjoyed for an evening or two.
In a survival horror game, the scariness comes from the lack of ammo and dangerous enemies. In a psychological horror game, the atmosphere itself and what happens to the protagonist are frightening — there may be no combat at all.
Is it suitable for those who don't like jump scares?More often than not, yes: these games maintain tension without any sudden jump scares. But even here, there are unexpected moments — if that's important, check the reviews.
