5. Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Appetizing

How about instead of watching YouTubers scream like crazy while playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent, you and your friends dive into the madness?

This survival horror game plays like a living nightmare. Players take control of Daniel, who wakes in a deserted castle, suffering from amnesia. This game is guaranteed to terrify players out of their minds. Amnesia: The Dark Descent doesn't rely on simple jump scares to freak out players like other survival horror games. Players' fear tinged imaginations might be their worst enemy in the game, apart from the creepy monster out for slaughter. Players will be left unsure and paranoid if the screams in the distance are an indicator of incoming terrors or just Daniel's mind deceiving him. 

As there are no in game cut-scenes, players will always be in control. The controls are smooth as players can push and pull items around in an extremely interactive environment. The game makes an effective use of darkness, it will hide the player from terrors, but who knows what else might be hiding in it. Players are left helpless and must defend themselves by running and hiding from the dangers out to get them. Scavenging plays a big role in the game as well, as players will need to search for items such as oil to light their lamp and tinder to ignite torches. The game offers multiple endings, but if players want to get a grasp as to what's going on, they'll need to collect notes and journal entries scattered throughout the game.

If things get too scary, take a crack at a more lighthearted and fun mod of the game where you can get serenaded by the "Trololo" song and other delights.
