Horror games are like fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. In today's world of online gaming, there is no better way to get into the genre than to jump right into some competitive gameplay. By playing multiplayer horror games, you'll be able to see which horror games are popular among the thriller community. In 2019 alone, there were 1,000s of new apps uploaded to the app store designed to scare the socks off of you. Looking for competitive multilayer apps keeps you from getting lost in the crazy number of apps available for download. Another advantage of finding a competitive game is once you find a game you like, the competitive edge will keep you playing again and again. Unlike other apps, a competitive horror game has a lot of replay potential, as the game will be different each time you play.

Another nice thing about horror games is there are so many different kinds to select. Whether you like adventure, slashers, or just about everything in between, you can be sure you'll find a game that fits your taste. When you are first trying to figure out what type of frightening app fits your personality, stick to free apps. By downloading free apps, you can try a lot of different games before investing money in a game you end up not liking. If you like jump scares mixed with a little bit of strategy, then a game like Case Smile might be the one for you. If jump scares aren't your thing, and you are more into the thriller or suspense side of things, don't worry, there are plenty of games available for you as well. Once you find your horror game niche, don't be afraid to start spending a little bit of money for the games you enjoy because, after all, the best developers usually don't offer their work for free. Even if the app is available for free, ads can get annoying after a while. If you are nervous about spending money on a game you're not sure is good or not, most paid apps have a free trial version. Be sure to play the free version for a little bit first to get a feel if you'll like the app.

Unfortunately, all the different gaming platforms aren't the same. Some horror games work much better on pc or ps4 than they do on mobile phones, and some of the older traditional horror survival games like DOOM are only supported on older platforms like Nintendo. However, if you only have a smartphone, not to worry, you can download a pc or Nintendo emulator that lets you play the top 25 Nintendo horror game right on your mobile phone. While downloading an emulator probably won't give you access to new upcoming horror games that were just released, it will let you see which games are available for different platforms. Using an emulator is perfect for someone who is exploring the idea of expanding their gaming system to a console or PC. By playing different horror games made for Xbox or PlayStation on your phone, you can see which console has the best games before shelling out hundreds of dollars on an expensive gaming system.

If you are still having trouble trying to find a horror game you like, try playing a few of the more popular titles. When you play popular games, you'll get a feel for what a good horror adventure game or strategy game plays like. Then you can venture out and try playing a few more elusive games. If you like physiological thrillers, check of Cry of Fear, a game developed in Sweden, it takes place in an old Scandinavian town. If you are looking for more of an RPG style gameplay from a popular indie developer, try a game like Stay Close, which can be played solo or with friends. If you like competitive, age-friendly games, check out hide and shriek. No matter what your taste, you're sure to find a game that you enjoy if you spend a little bit of time searching.

A family game night can be the perfect place to break out your new favorite horror game. If you are looking for a scary game to play with your family, then you are going to want to make sure that the app is appropriate for kids. There are classic apps out there that let you create a scary story through prompts or a spooky card game to set the mood for a sci fi Halloween. If you are looking for adventure games that the whole family can enjoy, there are a ton of entertaining apps that can be fun and a little scary for the entire family. From apps like Scooby-Doo to Nancy Drew, there is something both you and your kids will enjoy. There are a lot of indie games designed for a fun family game night as well, so between them and your classics, you are sure to find something that will have everyone laughing and a little spooked.
Now that you are ready to start your search for your new favorite horror app, be sure to keep these tips in mind as you start looking, and you'll be sure to find a great horror game in no time.

Hell of a sequel. I found this by sheer luck, as I'd previously been playing Evil Nun, which is awesome up until level 14. This game, has twice as many levels, and the zombies, and nuns move quicker which is great. Some of the doors tend to have a mind of their own, including the caged room on level 33. Despite my replaying the level 3 times (so far, I'll keep at it for a little while) after I clear the zombies, the door wont open to the cage. Not sure if it's a glitch. Will update my progress

I loved it! I don't know why chapter 2 is a demo bc it was finished for me, but hey, I'm not complaining! I really enjoyed it, though I don't know what the girl in the picture was supposed to do. And also, uhhhh, the friend, that didn't make sense either. I uh, didn't get the point of it, but it didn't stop me from having fun!

So...I had my first jump scare within the first few minutes. My phone flew out my hands and I jumped as well as screaming. Mind you I was laying down when I jumped. I also played at 3 in the morning. Haven't played past the first jump scare yet cause I hate these kind of games for the very reason they are made.

Okay, so I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt the need to. This game is so simple it’s refreshing. There are different types of monsters and different items in different levels, but you can still go into the game knowing your goal so you don’t get lost. The music change was nice on the home page, the new music giving it more atmosphere. The fact that can make my own ghost and ghost sounds is entertaining. I’ve been playing this game since before it was an app and seeing it grow has been a pleasure. I also like the option of earning coins by watching videos and earning coins by playing. I like the different difficulties you can choose too. The simple graphics are nice too. Overall, the game is better than other horror games like Granny (Sorry not sorry).
