They&#8217;ve come from independent developers, run on PCs rather than consoles, and are scarier than anything we&#8217;ve seen from the console space in years.  <i>Amnesia<\/i> and its predecessors, <i>Lone Survivor<\/i>, and <i>Slender<\/i> are just a few.  If you&#8217;ve been paying attention to <a href=\"http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/greenlight\">Steam&#8217;s Greenlight program<\/a>, you may have noticed that there are more indie horror games in development than you can shake a stick at.<\/p>\n<p>But some of these games need help to reach completion.  I propose that we help them out by donating some cash or voting on Greenlight.  I&#8217;ll highlight two games here but feel free to link to more in the comments below.  There&#8217;s a lot to see!<\/p>\n<p><b>DreadOut<\/b> is a Fatal Frame-esque third person horror game by an Indonesian developer, and man it looks awesome.  The developer is close to meeting their funding goal ($25k, which is like a rounding error for the level of quality that they are pushing), but only has 4 days left.  Drop everything and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/dreadout\">go give them some cash!<\/a>  There&#8217;s also a playable demo for all platforms if you need convincing.  Thanks much to Michael from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frightening.de\">Frightening<\/a> for the tip-off about this one.  Michael also has a pretty cool <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kollisionsabfrage.net\/mehrspieler-shortcut\/dreadout-indiegogo-demo\">video preview<\/a> up.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Forest<\/b> is something completely different.  It&#8217;s an open world horror game something or another&#8211;I&#8217;m not really sure.  But the trailer is super hot and all it needs is Greenlight votes.  So go <a href=\"http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=143803558\">vote for it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are more&#8211;a lot more&#8211;in development or recently released.  Post your favorites in the comments and let&#8217;s help these guys bring their games to market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t think it is an exaggeration to say that the best horror games in the last few years have not come from traditional console game developers.
