Halloween feels like an especially appropriate time for Playable Archive's arrival. It's a genuinely spooky found-foota…

Structural perfection.

What if ellipsoids had trumped polygons in game graphics? Witness the rebirth of Ecstatica, a PC horror game from 1994 with a very distinctive approach to 3D.

As Silent Hill 2 celebrates its 25th birthday, we look at what makes it such a standout in horror and why we're still talking about it today.

Hellraiser: Revival's faithful-seeming in-game sex club does a fine job underlining the ridiculousness of Hellraiser and of horror games with sexual themes.

Divine Frequency launches in early access on October 27 with "70%" of the final game ready to play.

I was perhaps too trigger-happy.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Hands-On: A Beautifully Twisted Descent Into Hell September 1st, 2026 at 12:00 pm by Celine Kroter

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival doesn’t hold back when bringing the iconic horror franchise into the world of video games. At Gamescom 2026, we had the opportunity to play a section from later in the game. Our time with it showed just how much Saber Interactive is embracing the disturbing imagery and psychological horror of Hellraiser.

Rather than simply adapting one of the movies, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival tells a new story within the Hellraiser canon. Players take control of Aidan Lynch, who finds himself caught between the Cenobites and the Scarlet Church while desperately trying to save his girlfriend, Sunny.

Central to his journey is the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box that plays an important role in the story while also granting Aidan supernatural abilities.

During the Find Your Next Game (FYNG) showcase at Gamescom 2026, Italian indie studio 906 Games and publisher Big Blue Sky Games revealed Cutout, their upcoming side-scrolling action-horror adventure set in a grim fairy tale world handcrafted from cardboard, paper, fire, and shadow. (...)

Cutout tells the story of Lena, the forsaken child of a dying forest. Longing for an acceptance she never received from the people of her village, she embarks on a quest to recover a powerful scepter that grants its wielder total dominion over the land and its people.

The game takes players on a psychological terror ride where you play as a 9-year-old in your childhood home. Every night at 3 AM, when everyone is asleep, the child wakes up due to an otherworldly pull that instructs him to move through the dark. No one is supposed to know your secrets, not even your family, and you have to face them alone.

Film is expensive, play video games instead.

I imagine the unknown horrors will be the big one to avoid here.

This is giving me déjà vu.
