Best horror anthology game I’ve played!

I’m a huge fan of horror anthologies, and Horror Games To Play In The Dark definitely delivered. It features 9 unique episodes, and each one gets crazier than the last. I won’t spoil anything, but if you love horror experiences that keep you guessing, I highly recommend picking this up!

Episode Ratings & Thoughts:

Cabin – 7.5/10
The enemy model here is amazing—feels like it came straight out of a Lovecraftian nightmare.

-------

Antler – 7.9/10
The ending totally caught me off guard. I was expecting something else, but it went wild in the best way. Also, it's the longest episode in the game.

-------

Grandpa’s Boardgame – 8/10
That plot twist at the end? Crazy. It ends on a cliffhanger and honestly could be expanded into a full standalone game.

-------

Huldufolk – 7/10
Not as intense as the others, but I liked it. The Huldufolk reminded me a lot of the Duwende from Philippine folklore.

-------

Unknown Connection – 7.3/10
Short, simple, and straight to the point. The ending still managed to surprise me though!

-------

Luggage – 8.2/10

I thought it would be a typical main-character-vs-enemy episode, but nope—I was so wrong in the best way.

-------

Abducked – 7.4/10

Just a chill duck game. I mean… nothing scary about ducks, right?

-------

El Masmelo – 7.6/10

Remember my expectations from the Antler episode? This one did a great job living up to them. No disappointment here!

-------

Bullied – 9/10

A true horror experience. Easily one of the best episodes in the game for me. It hit hard, especially because I’ve been through something similar in real life.

-------

Overall Score: 9/10

This anthology was an emotional rollercoaster with a wide range of tones, scares, and surprises. Whether you're in it for disturbing psychological themes or bizarre horror concepts, there’s something here for every horror fan. Can’t wait to see more from the devs! Keep up the amazing work, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future releases! ^_^

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate that you rated each one individually, without spoilers. I'm very grateful that this is your favorite anthology so far it boosts my confidence in game dev, and I seriously hope I can get a volume two out in the future. It's fun making short horrors, I just need to find a proper pipeline to get another volume out in a decent time. It was definitely a roller coaster of Dev Hell making these too! 🔥 - David
