I’m personally a big fan of games that are accessible to anyone with a computer; most especially ones that are spooky or halloween-esque. Some of these games are horror, some are just plain silly, and others are interesting and quite the experience.

• A Dark Room: An open-source software role-playing text-based game originally published in mid 2013 for web browser by Doublespeak Games.
• Alter Ego: There are seven stages of life in Alter Ego. You play from birth until death, whenever that may be.
• Coma: Pete wakes up and finds that everything in his life has changed. Players join Pete on a quest to save his sister, and wind up meeting some fascinating characters along the way.
• The Company of Myself: This is a story about a hermit.
• Cooking With Satan: You are looking to make some delicious cupcakes in the only way you know how; by sacrificing items to Satan!
• Covetous: A game about the will to exist. Partially inspired by fetus in fetu. (TW: Body horror. Seizure Warning!)
• Deep Sleep: You are stuck inside a nightmare dream. Something lurks in the darkness… Something in the depths of your own mind wants to pull you even deeper. Someone will escape this dream for sure. The question is - who is that going to be? (Part 1 of a 3 part series)
  
• Deeper Sleep: A sequel to an award-winning horror point-and-click game Deep Sleep. Nightmare returns and this time it goes even deeper. (Part 2 of a 3 part series)
• The Deepest Sleep: Here you are, at the final depth. Danger lurks behind every corner, even the Shadow People are afraid of this place. Will you be able to get back to the surface and wake up? Or will you remain here forever? (Part 3 of a 3 part series)
  
• Entity: A game about a girl who wakes up with sleep paralysis, a stage between awake and dreaming. She’s struggling with moving her body while she’s surrounded by shadow creatures, she needs your help to wake up!
• Everyday the Same Dream: A little art game about alienation and refusal of labour. Made in 6 days for the Experimental Gameplay Project.(TW: Suicide)
• Haunt the House: Possess items around the house and scare everyone out! The more you scare, the more powerful you become. Don’t frighten them too much though, they might freak out and do something stupid.
• Loved: Can games carry the auteurist intent and interconnection of traditional cinema and writing? Can we tell stories through games that aren’t disposable? That live on after you’ve stopped playing? This is a short story in the form of a platformer that answers these questions. (TW: very abusive language)
• Milk For the Ugly: Imagine that you are a young social worker, dedicated to finding out the hidden and forgotten old souls who haunt the cold, mean streets of the city. You seek to report on their living conditions, possibly recommending they be removed from their roach-infested “homes.” So it is that you have come to find yourself sitting at the kitchen table of a cadaverous old shut-in you’ve been assigned to visit.
• Monstre de Coiffure: A very silly monster makeover game in which you give haircuts and apply make-up to a procession of grotesque monsters.
• My Father’s Long, Long Legs: The story of a girl whose father one day suddenly comes home from work and begins digging a hole in the dirt-floored basement of their house.
• The Ooze: In an ageless temple at the corner of the earth, a primordial Ooze sits waiting… Shift its shape to (gleefully) eliminate all trespassers.
• Take This Lollipop: An interactive horror short film and Facebook app.
• UrbEx: Explore a scary old abandoned factory. Invited by a trusted friend you head deeper within, except all is not what it seems in this derelict place. Something dark lurks within, something creepy and in-human. Will you get out alive?
• With Those We Love Alive: Before living this life, have a pen or sharpie nearby, something that can write on skin. There is music, so headphones are good. But it’s okay if you can’t. Content warning for violence, self harm, blood, abuse, unreality.
