Proving the Horror Adventure Genre is still "undead" and well, Senscape, the creators of "Scratches" are producing a larger, more elaborate, and oh so scarier sequel: Asylum. There is TONS of footage, images, sounds, a documentary, teasers (And screamers) all on a Kickstarter campaign whose reward lists are nearly as impressive as the footage from this game which is been in development for 4 years is in the final stages. Its at the 50% mark, so its within striking distance and will run on ALL desktop platforms, including MS Windows, MacOS and Linux. With over 100 rooms to explore, a full music (really instruments) and professional actors, it should give you nightmares for years to come.

10 awesome and obscure horror games you probably haven't heard of. What offbeat horror games do you love? Let us know in the comments!
You never heard of it?
Obscure is awesome, it has the style of gameplay of Resident Evil.
If you are a fan of the old school Resident Evil then you should play both Obscure 1 and Obscure 2.
They are so cliched as they get but so cool too lol.
No xD
I'm saying that obscure is an obscure game lol
I played Obscure 1 and 2 and I loved them.
Eternal Darkness is pretty popular. A better entry would've been Clock Tower.
I have Haunting Ground on the PS2 and Siren Blood Curse on the PS3. Both of those games are pretty good.
DeSpiria for the Dreamcast it's a strange horror RPG evolving around a special agent sent to discover an underground cult. It's set in a dystopian future after World War III which leads to some serious creepy atmosphere. The character designs are questionable but it flourishes in monster design and disturbing music (which would have been so much better in full-length but tracks are limited to 20 second loops.) I await the day I am fluent in my Japanese studies so I can play this game in it's entirety.

Haunting Ground, Galerians and Rule of Rose deserves mentions as well. I would go on about these three but I doubt you guys want to read a novel....
GamerU is a horror fanatic, so for me October is a full 31 days of terror filled to the brim with nothing but scary movies, creepy books, and gore-splattered video games. For those who prefer to keep their fright contained to one single evening however, there's no shortage of excellent horror games covering just about every genre that will fit right in with your Halloween festivities.
Aaron Alcorn of Gaming Rebellion looks back at a forgotten PC horror title, Scratches, by way of a first person experience in the vein of the game itself.
I just played scratches for the first time this year. Excellent little horror-gem. The writing is great (except the super rushed ending) and the buildup is fantastic.
