Dreadout released in 2013, this indie horror game by Digital Happiness reigned on the Internet and became one of the most played games in the genre. This third-person supernatural horror game takes place in an old abandoned town where you play the character of Linda, a high-school student. A smartphone and an SLR camera in hand, she battles terrifying beings and solves mysterious puzzles which determine her fate. The game explores a haunted town in Indonesia, considering its Indonesian origins. In the engaging storyline, one can switch to different POVs that make for a horrifying endeavour as Linda negotiates her way through to her fate.

Visage not your typical jump-scare menagerie, Visage is known to mess with people’s heads owing to realistic settings, and relies heavily on creating horror through the environment. The game is set inside a 1980s-fashioned house where unimaginable horrors await the player. The storyline is gripping to the point where it blurs the world of the game, and the reality of our TV room. Saying that this game sticks with you is an understatement. It is innovative in that the events are randomly activated and your own choices will lead you to different endings.
