No-Jumpscare Horror

a collection by theOverture · last updated 2023-11-10 03:13:21

Collection of horror games without jumpscares.

NOTICE

  • Some games may contain addition routes/gameplay that I did not find
  • A "jumpscare" is a bit subjective, read blurbs by games for potential warnings
  • These games are in no particular order, and vary in quality/polish 
  • Horror is horror. Read up on the games if you need to, and if in doubt, skip out

Take care!
