Even though they didn’t quite make the cut for the final five, they are still great experiences that we think are worth playing. We’ve picked two games that we think deserve an honourable mention in our list. From the very beginning, it’s ingrained in your mind that every click of that high-pitched bell could be your last. You know that survival depends on how you approach the game, so the stakes feel so much higher than they normally would. The music accompanies you but never overtakes the scene, making each situation really unsettling.Īmongst these horror elements, it’s the card matches that stand out. As if playing against eerie apparitions and creatures wasn’t scary enough, the entire experience is enhanced through a bone-chilling soundtrack. Sarcastic playing cards keep you company as you solve puzzles to survive against all odds. You need to ( literally) play your cards right to get out of several situations alive. From the average job and hobbies to the slightly weirder and wackier sim.

The old-school design is reminiscent of 8bit games, but this only enhances how spooky the whole game feels. There seems to be a simulation game for everything these days. Inscryption is the creepy card game that we didn’t know we needed.
