number 10
clock tower the first installment in
this series this title first arrived on
the SNES taking terror to the
point-and-click johner its story focuses
on orphans who are adopted by a wealthy
man living in the titular clock tower
mansion unusual for the time it still
manages to be a frightening game thanks

psychological terror sheesh as if

number 9 uz Jeunesse Center our donor

instead focuses on a mansion in Rhode
Island a third-person experience it
centers on Alexandria a woman
investigating her grandfather’s death

two characters from different time
periods which the player gets to control

darkness is the patented sanity meter as
the meter depletes the camera angle

number eight System Shock 2 expecting a
trip under the sea and Bioshock well
rapture was fun but nobody would have
ever taken the plunge if it wasn’t for
this outing on the von braun awakening
on a seemingly derelict spaceship
players must scavenge to survive against
the hideously mutated crew members and a
malevolent AI that’s pulling the strings
in the background security forces have
been alleged trill presence included the
glory of the many commercial capture or
destruction difficult complex and oozing
with atmosphere System Shock 2 is as
much a classic of the PC gaming genre in
general as it is one of the scariest
games of all time you are no longer
welcome here
nuisance essence number 7 siren known as
forbidden siren in Europe this scariest
Health survival horror title weaves a
story about characters in a Japanese
village who are interconnected able to
see and hear what each other experiences
the sheer amount of disturbing content
packed into this game caused it to get
banned the real terror here comes from
the fact that you can never fully kill
the ghastly horrors that you face
encouraging you to run and hide rather
than go in guns blazing
number six dead space speaking of guns
blazing even in space if no one can hear
you scream on a spaceship there’s plenty
of opportunity to wail like a little
girl taking some heavy inspiration from
event horizon and system shock to dead
space does alone on a spaceship horror
like nobody else even though it’s the
most action-oriented game on this list
there’s still enough totally effed up
shit and underwear staining surprises to
keep you jittery from start to finish
number five condemned criminal origins
few things are as effective in
psychological horror as the first-person
perspective condemned takes the nerve
jangling experience to new heights by
focusing on melee combat meaning you get
to feel every crowbar blow your
unfortunate protagonist takes to the
face much like doom 3 your flashlight is
your best friend in this game and most
long pauses are followed by moments of
hair-raising panic hosni number 4 Silent
Hill 2 only gamers who have managed to
make it out of the town of Silent Hill
understand how fundamentally freaky it
is Konami spared no expense making this
the scariest fictional town in America
better than the original
the sequel follows James Sunderland on
his search for his dead wife what makes
Silent Hill 2 so horrifying and so
satisfying as a story is that the cursed
town draws upon the darker elements
found in the psyche of its guests
number three slender the eight pages
getting scared doesn’t have to cost a
thing this free-to-play PC game will
make you scream and quiver in fear
without ever showing any blood the
premise is simple you’re dropped into
the woods and need to retrieve eight
pages all the while you’re being pursued
by the Slenderman a faceless ghoul that
awaits you at every turn sealing the
package is a pulsating drumming sound
that grows in your ears and turns your
stomach and yes the sequels are just as
scary number 2 amnesia the Dark Descent
surpassing the scares of the original
here you go it alone to explore a dark
and foreboding Castle filled with
puzzles and obstructions you must find
your way without getting eviscerated by
roaming monsters oh and you can’t fight
back all you can do is hide then again
hiding for too long or looking at
monsters directly will cause your sanity
to dwindle spurring hallucinations and
drawing the creatures towards you
adult diapers are pretty much mandatory
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one fatal frame known as project
zero in Europe this game supposedly
based on a true story casts you as a
girl searching for her brother of course
she must find him in a haunted mansion
filled with evil ghosts your only weapon
is the camera obscura an antique that
can photograph and exorcise spirits
fatal frame takes the top spot on our
list for surrounding you with invisible
horror forcing you to stare your demon
straight in the face and for literally
making you into a defenseless little
girl mere give it back agree with our
list which game left you shaken in the
corner for more nail-biting top 10s
