Five Fantastic Horror Games For Gamers Who Enjoy A Good Scare

Gamers love horror, but what is it about horror-themed games they enjoy so much? The answer seems to be the mixture of escapism and excitement we experience while playing. After a hard day in the office or anywhere else, we can jump online or on a console and immerse in a different world… an imaginary world, but a different one nevertheless. Then there’s the reward itself. The games keep us on edge and although we get a scare, we laugh about it afterward. We simply love that payback. Below we look at some of the best horror-themed games around Blood Suckers If you check out the range of online slots at Draft Kings, you’ll come across a nice little horror slot called Blood Suckers.

Slenderman – The Modern Terror

A simple contest on June 10, 2009 by the internet forum Something Awful created a modern and unique monster. The contest challenged people to take everyday photographs and make them appear paranormal. Complete with comments from faux eye –witnesses, forum poster Victor Surge used images of groups of children and inserted a man. This man was tall, thin, white-faced and wearing a dark suit with a red tie. As this man stood ominously over the children, a phenomenon was born. Slenderman was not developed from ancient myths, or fairy tales. He is not found in a book and merely brought to life via media or film. This man is a wonderful piece of modern folk-lore. Generations from now, Slenderman will be included in the cannon of horror along with gremlins, trolls, the boogieman and everything else that goes bump in the night.

10 Ways to Support Women in Horror Year Round

As Women in Horror Month draws to a close, so will the frequency of support for women in the genre, but it doesn’t have to be that way. The following are 10 ways you can continue supporting women in horror beyond the month of February. 1.) Actively seek out work by female, and female-identifying, horror creators, especially work from those who are new to you. Familiarizing yourself with more women in horror introduces you to a range of voices. If you don’t like one artist, you may like another. How will you know if you don’t observe them all? 2.) Support those creators by sharing their work with others. Chances are that if you haven’t heard of someone, other people might not have either. Share the love! Spread links to their work and invite friends to screenings or other events! 3.) Inspire and empower other women to work within the genre. The only way for the genre to continue growing

Get a Quick Scare with Home

Home, created by Benjamin Rivers and released in 2012, is touted as a unique horror adventure game by the developer. Everything that happens is entirely subjective, which is not commonly seen in games. The art is in a pixel style, making the game feel retro, especially when combined with the story taking place in text. It is a very simple game as controls only go forward, backward, raise your lamp, and select highlighted objects, which makes it perfect for mobile gaming. Going through the first time will only take an hour and it is best to play the game straight through. However, it requires multiple passes to achieve each of the different endings. The game is engaging for the first time, but it becomes very tedious and repetitive if you make attempts at each of the endings and achievements. The game is heavily story-driven and you wake up in an unknown house. As you explore, you uncover many dark secrets
