The cult horror adventure I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream set new, disturbing standards when it was first released in 1995. The game, labelled not just "disturbing" but "ethically challenging", was based on Harlan Ellison's story of the same name - and just in case you missed it 18 years ago, it's available now on PC.
Of the many horror sub-genres, psychological horror is known for leaving a lasting impression because it plays on the fragility of the human mind.
Absolute embarrassment that all 4 of the first Silent Hill games didn't make the list. 2 is the best one but the other 3 are fantastic as well.
They also included 2 Bloober games and forgot Fatal Frame and PT. 🙄
PT isn't a game. As for the Silent Hill games, clearly they chose the best one for their list. I don't disagree that there are some questionable choices there though.
PT is a game and a better one than most of the games on that list. Just because they gave it away for free doesn't mean it isn't a game.
@Magog - it was a playable teaser. The entire thing could be beaten in like 5 minutes if you knew what to do. That's not a game. Yes, it was fantastic, but it was a glorified demo.
Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 are all at the top of psychological horror games. I really want a new Silent Hill in the style of the old games, not like P.T.
Doki Doki Literature Club .. Also the definitive GOAT .. Silent Hill 2 also
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
