15 Classic Horror Video Games That are Still Frightening

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Not many games have been able to embody the madness and terror of H.P. Lovecraft’s works, save for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Its beginning is less than simple as detective Jack Walters investigates a mass suicide and goes insane. After being released from the asylum and not remembering the six years he spent afterward, Walters ventures to Innsmouth to investigate a missing person case. The horrors quickly begin to pile up, whether it’s the hostile villagers or chilling atmosphere permeated with hallucinatory sights and sounds. The line between sanity and madness, the terrors that lie beyond, and whether one is fit to possess this knowledge are all brilliantly explored here.
