Hey guys,

I really love horror games - a lot more than other types of games. Just wanted to know, how many games made in AGS are horror based? I only know 7 days a skeptic, 5 days a stranger, Ben Jordan 4 - Horror at Number 50 (okay, not completely horror but somewhat) and Horror Hospital (Incomplete demo) and I've downloaded them all. Could you guys tell me if I missed out on any of the games? And if you know some freeware horror games, please tell  ;D

You totally missed Lost in the Nightmare. It really is one of the most scary games I've ever played. Play it!

Can't come up with any other good horror games right now though.

Well, there's a few with "Horror" elements in them... A couple of recent ones that comes to mind:

A couple of my own short games with a bit of a "creepy" atmosphere to them:

And "The Elevator":

Ã, I'm sure there's a few I missed, and there's also a few Games in Production which will have more of these types of games.
Ã,  Enjoy!

*Edit: A couple of you already posted up some of the same links I've mentioned here while I was making this message, but, heck, I'll leave my message as it is.  :)
Conan: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!"
Mongol General: "That is good."

Thanks for the reccomendations guys.

I already played Prodigal and I forgot to include it. It was pretty good horror.  ;D

Not necessarily horror but you'll find a dark atmosphere in Pleurghburg: Dark Ages..!

When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an only child... eventually.

Already played  ;D. It was awesome, one of my all time favourite AGS games, but nonetheless it did have two flaws - The walking speed was faaar too slow and the graphics were a bit shabby. Yet overall, it really works!
