Strangely enough, darkness is your friend in Reunition - a 2D pixel-based horror set in a house of mirrors where if the monsters can’t see you then they can’t harm you.

As you search for your missing son you’ll have to be quick to snuff out your lamp before freaky monsters jump out and kill you - light guides your way but you’ll find safety in the darkness.

It’s no easy task transferring horror into pixellated 2D, so it’s interesting in the way that Reunition opts to use it’s jump scares as a means for providing some light twitch-based gameplay. It’s simple, punishing, but effective, keeping you tense in the way a horror game should.

Deep Sleep is an unsettling point-and-click horror game reminiscent of classic room escape games like The Crimson Room, in which you find yourself trapped in a horrible nightmare, desperately trying to wake up.

Deep Sleep’s disturbing atmosphere lets you know right away that you should be uneasy. The eerie ambience is chilling and any changes in the game’s subtle hum will set you immediately on edge. As you wander through decrepit halls, the game’s grimy pixel art seems to play tricks on your eyes, making you see things that aren’t there… and somethings that are.

The Room is a terrifying low rez first-person horror game, in which you must navigate ten rooms, and use an Aliens-style motion detector to avoid invisible monster (well, invisible until it jumps out and scares the living daylights out of you anyway).

Needless to say The Room is a very jump scare filled experience, this is thanks the tense atmosphere the pant-wettingly terrifying monster that can spring out of thin air. Highly recommended jump scare horror.

The Library is a creepy first person horror adventure in which you play a thief breaking into a haunted library, looking to escape with some loot (but will be lucky to escape with your life).

As you navigate through the old library you’ll unearth secrets, find clues and try to avoid the spiteful spirit. In this sense it feels a little like a Slenderman game, but with puzzles and more of a plot-line. The current build of The Library offers around 10 minutes of play and is still early in development so does have a few rough edges, but the visuals, audio and freaky enemies make for a tense, jump scare-filled adventure.

Vermination is well crafted 2D adventure horror in which you play an amnesiac who wakes up in a strange mansion and slowly discover untold abominations of science hidden within its grounds.
The visual style and gameplay in Vermination is similar to Home, but while with Home the horrors were purely psychological, in Vermination there are some very real monsters to be afraid of. It’s an impressive game with an intriguing story that takes a few interesting twists as you explore the mansions grounds, and it’s amazing how much terror can be squeezed out of the excellent 2D pixel art visuals. Fantastic, freaky and genuinely frightening stuff.
