Horror PC Games | From Short Stories to Survival, Ranked

Horror is a genre of short games. Many titles finish in one or two hours and pile up reviews as they spread through streamers. Longer ones add exploration and resource management, and sustained tension replaces the scare. The other dividing line is whether something chases you: a game with a pursuer plays nothing like one that frightens through atmosphere and sound alone. The list shows steady ratings with few reviews first. Night Patrol Rules and Purrfect Apawcalypse, for example, hold a steady rating with fewer than 500 reviews.

12,740 titles match. 2,863 of them hold a steady rating on 10–500 reviews, 3,469 support Japanese, and 1,815 are free.

7,066 titles (10–500 reviews, by rating)

Sorted by Wilson score, a rating estimate that accounts for review count. Titles with few reviews are discounted, so '100% on 1 review' never tops the list, while a genuine 90% on 40 reviews rises properly.
