Any Recommendations for Short Horror Games Without Jumpscares?

-

I’m on the hunt for a short horror game that I can finish in just one night. I’m thinking something that lasts about 2 to 3 hours maximum, and I’d prefer it not to have any jumpscares—just good, eerie vibes. Any suggestions?

Check out “They Breathe” (super cheap at 79p), “Tales of the Black Forest” (about £1.01), and “Stories Untold” (only £1.70). “They Breathe” is about 1-2 hours long, while the others are a bit longer. All of them have minimal jumpscares and are very atmospheric. You won’t regret giving them a go!

Thanks, I’ll definitely check those out!

Fun fact: the font for “Stories Untold” is similar to the Stranger Things logo because the same designer worked on both!

Check out “Killer Frequency”! It’s pretty solid and can be finished in a single sitting. I had a great time with it—definitely fits what you’re looking for.

You should try “Mouthwashing”. It’s a narrative-driven horror game that lasts about 3 hours. No jumpscares, just a captivating story with a unique PS2-style aesthetic. I highly recommend it for a chilling experience!
