    The new FIFA.

    /s

    I did enjoy The call of Cthulhu though. Not really scary, but I’m a Lovecraft fan (minus the racism/Xenophobia).

    A few options that range from slightly spooky to pretty scary: Alan Wake, Oxenfree, Dead Space, Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach, Night in the Woods, Inside, Limbo

    I’m not super big in horror games. I think the genre doesn’t really lend itself to content longer than a few hours and way too many developers think “difficult=scary” which makes horror games pretty frustrating for me. That being said, I played The Iron Lung a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Short, cheap, with a crazy unique setting and game play mechanics. It’s worth a shot if you’ve got a few bucks and an hour or two to kill.

    The Cat Lady. It’s a point and click style game that is well recieved even ten years on since its release, and has since become the first in a trilogy of sorts. Good writing, multiple endings, sad+spook with some good twists. Gameplay is definitely limited, art can be a bit unusual, but what it has to offer is worth your time.

    The Beginner’s Guide and The Disappearance of Ethan Carter, both a bit more walking sim than horror, but the spooky is there.

    Also seconding a few other answers here: SOMA, Lisa, Night In the Woods

    The first dreadout was pretty creepy and I don’t see it mentioned too much. Also, the new amnesia game, the bunker, is really good and sad.

    Lots of good suggestions in these comments so I’ll throw a couple oddball suggestions out just for fun. Dredge isn’t exactly a full-on horror game, but has some Lovecraftian horror elements, and I really enjoyed it. Not sure that kind of horror really fits the holiday though, so I’ll also suggest Pumpkin Jack, which is even less of a horror game, but is a pretty enjoyable 3D platformer with a lot of inspiration from the season and holiday.
