Horror games are a bit hit-and-miss in the video game space. However, these ones on the PS5 should be worth your time.
We will start with a title that many of you have “experienced” in one form or another. Doki Doki Literature Club Plus is the “jam-packed” version of the game that took everyone by surprise for its surprisingly dark tone and themes.
When you look at the game, the last thing you’d expect is for an anime-style game about young girls, one guy, and a book club to be horror-filled. But when you dive deeper into the title, things start to get pretty creepy and scary, and you almost fear what will happen next.
So enter if you dare, and attempt to come out in one piece.
What happens when reality is blurred and the horrors of reality and the world behind clash in your mind? You’ll find out in Martha Is Dead.
The game takes place in 1944 in a small Italian town where a young woman’s body washes up onto the shore. This is Martha, and she’s dead. You play as her twin sister, who goes on a journey to ascertain what happened to her sibling and why she’s gone.
Finding the truth won’t be easy as Giulia struggles with her memories and tries to understand what is real and what isn’t. Will you be able to learn what happened to Martha?
Layers of Fear dares to tell a different horror story by giving you a unique protagonist to play. In this case, you’ll play a painter who is quite mad in the head. Due to this, he’s on a quest to paint a “masterpiece of fear.” You must learn why he wants to do that and how his insanity affects the world around him.
You’ll slowly unravel the truth as you explore the mansion he resides in. You’ll see his past through his mad eyes and witness the events that led him to now.
