I’ve been playing Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion and thought I would share a list of similar game with you kind folks that’ll keep your heart pumping. It’s nearly Halloween time, if you ask a very specific portion of the internet, after all! So, you’re going to need some spooky games!
10. Dark Deception
Dark Deception Gameplay
Nowhere to rest, nowhere to hide, you can only run from your nightmares chasing you through a Pac-Man looking maze. Just run and keep running, and hopefully you can make it out of the maze alive. And also there’s a mysterious woman trapped with you, go find out what’s going on with her.
What’s great about this game:
- AAA game quality graphics.
- A game with a dark sense of humor.
- One of the enemy types are giant monkey head guys, and that just tickles me.
HERE COMES MONKEY MAN!
A handy dandy map to keep you on track.
9. Among the Sleep
Among the Sleep Gameplay
This one is actually on my “play soon” list! Among the Sleep is a first person horror game in which you take on the role of a two year old child. Some troubling sounds in the night wake you up, and you go on a quest to find your mother.

7. Granny
Granny Gameplay
Granny is another first person horror game, but it’s kind of the opposite of Hello Neighbor. Instead of trying to get into the house, you’re trying to get out of the house. You have 5 days to escape the house, and there are all sorts of dangers lying in wait. Be careful, though, Granny can hear any noise you make!
What’s great about this game:
- Stealth with an emphasis on sound. Granny has really good hearing.
- Multiple ways to escape, and even a way to extend your time.
- Even just watching someone else play, Granny’s jumpscare really made me jump.
Granny found you, and boy could she use some...lips.
You can also escape via the car!

Pacify Gameplay
You are an intern with a Paranormal investigation team, and your first mission is to check out this old house that has rumors about a little girl spirit. Guess what, it’s true. She switches around from good to evil, and you must pacify the evil within her before you’re all dead.
What’s great about this game:
- Play by yourself or with friends, though playing by yourself is hard mode.
- The game has a sense of humor.
- There’s also a PvP mode where the person who does the most work gets a raise.

You’re gonna want more than one person to deal with the baby parade.

Outlast Gameplay
