October is a spooky season, and the urge to indulge in some pumpkin-scented candles with some season-appropriate play is at an all-time high. But while there are plenty of horror games for the brave and the bold, what are the scary cats to do this Halloween season?
Fear not: we’ve rounded up a whopping 13 horror-style games that are perfect for the horror-curious and for those who just want some light creepy atmosphere instead of blood-curdling intensity. Our selections range from light atmospheric creepiness to heavier, creepier scares (but still not downright scary!). Each one is ranked based on a horror wimp’s rating (if you’re a hardcore horror fan reading this list, we know our level 8s are probably your level 2s), with a more in-depth description of what kind of scares you can expect.
