Cooperative horror games
When the usual shooter isn’t doing it anymore, it’s time for a real horror game. If running around an abandoned house alone and being scared of every rustle isn’t something you want to do either, then choose co-op options. Consider the top 7 horror games that can tickle the nerves of the whole company.
1. GTFO
The set of characters is not super original – impersonal prisoners who want peace, but they still have to pay for their sins. They find themselves in a deep abyss full of horror and darkness. They must wade through hordes of blind monsters that are out to kill. It is necessary to be as quiet as possible, to move like a ninja and react quickly in the most nervous situations.
2. The Blackout Club
This game is great for those who like movies like Stranger Things or Stephen King’s seminal It. The plot unfolds in a gated small settlement where a series of mysterious events are celebrated. The locals behave like lunatics every night, and understanding the reason for this is not easy. Players will need to arm themselves with a somewhat original set of crossbow, smartphone, editing foam, and more to solve the town’s mystery.
3. The Dark Pictures Anthology
The game is an anthology consisting of several separate adventures. It’s all about the screechers, which can be unnerving as you make your way around the location. An added benefit is the excellent graphics, realistically drawn characters and constant tension. You must always keep your wits about you so you can make the right decisions in time and not get caught up in the scary monsters that jump out from everywhere.
4. Project Resistance
Resident Evil fans will appreciate the horror, which comes with a remake of the second part of the famous series. The place of action is the training ground of the Umbrella Corporation. A quartet of players confront the “puppeteer”, who has prepared a series of obstacles. It is necessary to move through locations filled with various dangers. Naturally, zombies are also present and will have to fight with them.
5. Loco Parentis
Favourite theme is a cute baby lurking in danger. The player will have to get out of the apartment building and, having met a suspicious girl, solve the mystery of the place. Except that leaving the house is unrealistic. Once you’re on the ground floor you go back to the top floor. But each time, passing through all the floors, you meet new dangers and challenges. The weapons arsenal is minimal, and the torch does not shine very brightly.
6. Sign of Silence
Do you want to wander through the woods and a cozy village? Then you will enjoy the game. But it’s not that easy. You’ll have to fight for your survival, you’ll have to stay alert, because danger may lie just around the corner. In addition, there are so dark places, getting into which it is difficult to stay as calm as possible.
7. Phasmophobia
The game is literally drenched in mysticism, because in every location there is something supernatural. It is not only necessary to make your way through, but also to find the places where the ghosts are hiding. They are different, and so you will have to determine what kind of paranormal creature is lurking in the darkness. To do so, you must negotiate with them and use keywords. Only by establishing a dialogue with the creature can you move on. The game is acknowledged to be the scariest of its genre, and even teamwork is not particularly reassuring in the process.
