Top 5 Horror Games

If movies has comedy, fiction, sci-fi, romantic and so on, so do games. This time, the scope is about horror games. Well even horror in movies and in games are still horror, the experience is different. This is because in games, you are controlling the character not just watching it. What will happen to the character, live or die depend solely on you. So check my top 5 list for horror games

No. 5 Forbidden Siren

This game took place in an isolated area in Japan called Hanuda where the religious belief is so strong. After an earthquake, the local religion leader try resurrect a god through a ceremony. The 'Siren' is the god's call, summoning Hanuda's residents to immerse themselves in the red water, thus creating an army of subordinates called shibito or corpse people. The shibito then go killing and converting any remaining humans left in Hanuda. The worst part is the shibito can kill while you cannot kill them and the only option left is to run. Run and run until and run until you fall, and then you too, will die. 

No. 4 Rule of Rose

The creepy part about this game is you are being haunted by a group of children. Not just your normal every day children but murderer children. However, the plot of this game is actually prequel which mean it is a flashback. Players are actually playing as the younger self of the character, experiencing her horrifying memories when she was younger. Beware, as the kid might come out of nowhere and you might not see the light of tomorrow. 

No. 3 Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly

This game is considered as one of the most scariest game ever created, despite it is very old. Yeah it was created in 2003 for Playstation2 but remembering the experience of playing it can still give me a goosebumps all over my body. It is set in an abandoned village in isolated Japan area and player are playing as a twin sisters, exploring the village and battling against fierce ghost. Weapon? Well all you have is a camera. Yes a camera. You need to capture the ghost image to kill it and the number differ depend on the level of ghost you are facing. Feel like using your camera to take a photo? Be careful though as ghost might appear on your screen. 

No. 2 Until Dawn

True to its name, you have to wait until dawn to be safe because during the night, numerous ghost will come haunting and try to kill mercilessly. The only problem is, you will never see dawn, unless you finish the game. One of the hardest thing is decision as in this game, you are force to make decision that will challenge your humanity, morality and your insanity. For example, your girlfriend and your friend is about to die at the same time, so who will you choose to save? Both decision will have a great consequences later in the game and in your life as well. Or you can wait and let yourself get killed instead and wait for the dawn to come, which will never happen. 

No 1. Silent Hill 4: The Room

Everything in this game is scary to its limit. Even though all Silent Hill series are so scary, the reason why I picked the 4th to be on my list is because of the idea it generates. In this game, you are trapped in your own room, haunted by your dreams and live in illusions until a point which you are unable to differ between which is real and which is not. The idea of trapping someone's body inside his own room and trapping his mind inside his own dream really get on my nerve. If you think about it, are you sure the world you are living right now is real? How if everything around you right now is just a mere illusions and you are actually trapped in somewhere else?
