Top Ten Scariest Indie Games of All Time

3.) The Graveyard – Tale of Tales

The graveyard isn’t totally scary with shock value, but is truly just freaky. You play as a character that roams around a grave yard essentially waiting for death. It is a bit of a work of art to some, and to others just a fun little time burner. Don’t expect to be super creeped out by this, but it’s definitely a darker game.

2.) Amnesia the Dark Descent – Frictional Games

Fractional Games is defiantly one of, if not the best developers for creating games that will scare you to tears.  If you want to seriously experience fear from a video game than load this bad boy up and prepare for the worst. The sound effects alone are enough to make you feel like your really there. Monsters behind doors and running for your life is to be expected.

1.) Penumbra: Overture – Fractional Games

There is really something terribly creepy about running around in the dark with only a flashlight. It also doesn’t help that Penumbra is not only visually good, but the ominous audio sets the mood for a total creep fest. There is an innovative system, while surrounded by monsters; you are encouraged not to look at them. You have a chance of blowing your cover, as you are sneaking around if you see too much.
