HORROR FAQ

Common questions about horror

What are the best co-op horror games?

Phasmophobia, Lethal Company and Devour are among the most popular co-op horror games, built for small groups of friends. They're usually inexpensive and frequently discounted.

Are horror games scarier in single-player?

Generally yes — solo psychological and survival-horror games (like Amnesia or Resident Evil) build dread through isolation, while co-op horror trades some fear for laughter and teamwork. Pick based on the mood you want.

Do horror games need a powerful PC?

Many acclaimed horror games are indie titles with modest requirements, so they run on most PCs. Check the minimum specs on each guide, especially for atmospheric titles with heavy lighting effects.
