I’m on the hunt for any games that blend the Tetris style with a horror theme. I’m thinking about games like Pinball combined with horror or sci-fi elements, similar to Devil/Alien/Jaki Crush. Are there any Tetris-like games that fit this genre?

If you’re looking for a horror edge in a falling blocks game, you might want to try Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine on the hardest difficulty. It can feel pretty intense! I actually pulled it off and earned an achievement for it, but let me tell you, it was a NIGHTMARE!
While it’s not purely horror, there’s a metroid mode in Tetris DS that captures a creepy vibe. It’s the closest I know of to a horror-themed Tetris.
Have you heard of Matt Hughson’s ‘From Below’? It’s a Tetris-style game where an octopus sends up obstacles from below. It adds a unique twist!
Though not strictly horror, Lumines has some levels with more intense music, and Tetris Effect features a level with fire and chanting monks. They definitely bring a dark atmosphere!
There’s an old PC game called Monty Python’s Holy Grail that has a Tetris-like experience with corpses, though it’s more of a comedy than true horror. Still, kind of a fun find!

Not exactly horror, but the Mortal Kombat Tetris mode in Deception leans toward dark and gory. Could be a fun twist to check out!
I feel you! I did the same thing, and it was brutal.
