As big-budget video games get progressively less and less scary, we look to the indie developers to remind us that horror games have the potential to make you shit yourself with terror; games like Amnesia and Lone Survivor show just what even a small studio can do with this type of game.
I love it, even if such games often leave me never wanting to sleep ever again.
There's actually a lot of really awesome horror games out there that are completely free to download and play; some really shit-your-pants stuff that are great experiences. I thought I'd share a few that I know of with you.
That's all I got for just now, folks. Hope you find something that makes you shit yourself. If you have any free horror games that you know of please feel free to share them with the rest of us.

[size=+4]SLENDER[/size]
'Slender' is a game based on the Slenderman myths (surprise surprise). The concept's pretty simple; you are alone in the woods at night and are attempting to collect eight pictures scattered about the locale. The second you collect the first page however, Slenderman starts coming after you, growing more and more persistant the more pages you collect. You've no weapons or skills to fight back with, just your flashlight and the ability to run like hell (and those are both finite). It's some really, really creepy stuff and a truly atmospheric experience.
[size=+4]SCP - CONTAINMENT BREACH[/size]
'SCP - Containment Breach' is a game based on the SCP Foundation stories. In short, you are an employee of an organisation that captures, studies and contains various unearthly and terrifying entities... and the facility you're in has just suffered a containment breach, letting all manner of horrible things loose. The game is still in it's early days but it has a lot of potential; worth a look.
[size=+4]1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg[/size]
Another very unique game, this. Taking place in the First World War, '1916' slaps you in the middle of a German trench filled with lots of gribbly things out to get you. Claustrophobic and nerve-wracking, it's another one of those 'you can't fight them' games with mechanics that force you into a flight mentality. Really spooky shit.
[size=+4]THE HOUSE 2[/size]
All the previous games I've shared require downloads and installations, which is maybe something you're not fancying. No worries, got you covered; 'The House 2' is a browser-based interactive game in which you explore a creepy old isolated building. You can guess where it leads from there. It takes a little while to load, but stick with it.
