Games: Psychological Horror

Psychological horror hits not with jump scares but with a blurred edge of reality: a house where everything is slightly off, a protagonist you do not quite trust, and an ending that leaves you silent. More atmosphere, subtext and puzzles than monsters in the closet. The genre demands attention and pays it back generously with stories discussed for years. Tip: read reviews to the end — genre fans precisely separate "psychological and frightening" from "creepy for cringe's sake". Pleasant sleepless nights after the credits.
