The second UFO-themed game to catch our eye is this psychological horror, based around the infamous 1947 saucer crash conspiracy.

Still, when the alien shit goes down it’s genuinely freaky – calling to mind everything from The X-Files to Signs to Communion, and for that alone we’re intrigued to see what the full game offers.

A recently released demo felt a little prescriptive, forcing you to focus on things rather than letting you spot them organically, and the obligatory notes of exposition seemed hilariously long-winded and verbose considering they were supposedly scrawled in a panic by a terrified farmer fighting extra-terrestrials. You’re a journalist, investigating lights in the sky over a rural farm, but when you get there everyone is missing and the electrics keep going loopy. They Are Here stands out from the herd by using UFOs and alien abduction as its source of scares, rather than the expected ghosts and ghouls. There’s no shortage of games in which you creep around an abandoned location, reading notes to fill in the backstory and triggering jump scares as you go.

A PC demo reveals an emphasis on puzzles to open new areas, and the need to find batteries to power essential mechanisms as you scurry around. So, yes, a little Five Nights at Freddy’s is in the mix as well.

The difference here is that, as hinted in the title, you’re being hunted in an empty TV studio by The Handeemen, a troupe of 1980s TV puppets brought to life. Color us intrigued.Ĭoming from tinyBuild, the indie publisher behind creep-em-up cult classic Hello Neighbor, this latest title from them includes some familiar hide-and-seek gameplay elements as you try to evade your pursuers by hiding in cupboards and setting traps to slow them down. We’ve seen similar reactive design before, in Left 4 Dead notably, but it’s rare to see it applied to a solo narrative game. What makes this interesting is an AI overseer known as The Author that will tweak and change the game depending on what you do and how you play. The town of the title is overrun with hideous creatures and it apparently ties back to a murder spree that polished off your own family. More first person investigation awaits in Lunacy: Saint Rhodes, with yet another estranged relative encountering town-wide horror tangled up with their own family history. The 1990s low-poly graphics give it a distinct look, and the inventory puzzles hark back to the classic survival horrors of old, albeit viewed first person this time.

Lost in the rain late at night, you stop at a roadside café and are soon caught up in all manner of weirdness that almost certainly is almost certainly connected to an abandoned research post in the woods and a series of strange radio frequencies. You’re a hapless everyman, heading home to a small town in Wales after your father’s funeral. There aren’t many surprises in the setup for this UK indie game. (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5) Whenever you play it, however, the team behind one of 2020's best horror movies moving into the interactive realm is very exciting. It now seems you’ll be able to play during the daytime, like a big cowardy custard, by completing a mini-challenge on the menu. It comes from Jed Shepherd, the screenwriter behind surprise lockdown hit Host, and sees him reuniting with most of the cast for a full-motion video game ( ie, it uses actual video footage, not graphics) about a struggling team of TV ghost hunters who may have bitten off more than they should when they investigate the local legend of the “Long Lady.” In a gimmick that the late, great William Castle would have been proud of, the game can only be played after 10pm wherever you are. It’s early days for this title, recently funded on Kickstarter, but you’re going to want to keep track of it all the same. From eerie indies to bloody blockbusters, here are 15 of the upcoming horror games that we’ve got our eye on. Resident Evil Village aside, it’s been a pretty quiet year for horror games so far, but that’s going to change once the bright lights of summer are out of the way and the nights start to close in.
