Okay, so there is not much to talk about games. And I do not need to introduce about gaming anymore. Do I? But to give a basic idea to those who are still far away from the world of gaming, gaming is basically a hobby and an entertaining way to get rid of the boredom or the tiredness that dance around the mind after a long working day.
Games have been one of the biggest companions for the people who are lonely and those workaholics who need a source of refreshment daily after tiring work.
And to be honest, there should be no one who has a claim that playing games could not provide him the entertainment he needed! As a matter of fact, studies show that a majority of people consider playing games a bigger and better source of refreshment than watching movies or listening to music or anything else.
It is true that each person has his own choice of games and the genres preferred by people vary person to person. It is also true that the most liked and played niches of games are either action games or shooting ones or battle royale flicks. But there are a lot more varieties of games as well. And many players like to be brave and try the horror games.
There are around millions of horror games available but there are a counted few which are really scary and give goose bumps while playing.
Here is such a list of the Scariest Games that one can choose from:

Five Night At Freddy’s
Five Night At Freddy’s is the remastered version of the PC game Case Animatronics. Case Animatronics is a really awesome horror game which was immensely successful as aPC variant and hence was recreated as a mobile version.

Alien: Isolation is one of the must beautifully crafted game version of any film I have seen ever. As goes its name, the game is the adaptation of the famous Hollywood film series Alien and man, this game has nailed it!
What makes Alien: Isolation different from – and a lot better than – the first flick Colonial Marines is the sheer horror and the addictive gameplay. While the Colonial Marines had a lot of negative reviews on its name, Isolation managed to kill it.

Man of Medan can be considered as a horror game with perhaps one of the must relatable and interactive story. And along with the interactive story, the beautifully crafted gameplay adds icing to the cake!

Just as in the first part, players in this second instalment have to play as detective Sebastian Castellanos who has to save his daughter. Players have the difficulty levels to choose from, the third one for those who want to experience some real horrors.
A new crafting feature has been added in the game which helps players to craft various items like ammunition and funds, but the available crafting items are limited!

Case Animatronics is a survival horror game which was initially designed and created as a PC game but received more appraisals by the Xbox and VR users.

Players have to step into the shoes of a civilian who has been kidnapped by his event and left stranded in a warehouse… full of Animatronics hungry for flesh.
