Scary Games Online

Survival Horrors aren't just limited to consoles, the web is full of point and click games to keep us amused.
You'll find some terrible ones out there but there are some out there that are worth mentioning. Three of which I'll write about here along with links so you can have a go yourself.


ABANDONED. LINK

Abandoned sees you playing as a girl who has found herself alone in a warehouse of some kind. She doesn't know where she is and why she's there but she's locked in small room under the floor.

The game isn't particularly scary and you won't get any jumps out of it though there is some tension there. The music and sound effects are good and the puzzles are actually kind of challenging. You'll need a pen and paper handy in order to do this because any pieces of paper aren't kept once collected so passwords and other clues need to be jotted down.

The game would have much better if there were a few ghosts or monsters popping up all over the place, though keep your eyes open for mysterious shadow that pops up in the same place again and again.

5/10


SILENT HILL: FINAL REDEMPTION. LINK

You play as Nathan Wales who starts the game off by telling you his story. Nine years ago he committed a "terrible sin" causing him to go insane. A local Priest named Father Vincent (Not from Silent Hill 3) became his saviour and helped Nathan get back on track. Nathan has come back to Silent Hill to visit Father Vincent but the place is deserted.

Real life pictures are used for the environments so the game looks really good and it gives you a good first impression.
The music is taken directly from the game but the game is not an official addition to the Silent Hill franchise.

There are a few scares to this game making you jump and you will feel a bit of tension thanks to Akira Yamaoka. There is only one puzzle to the game involving a safe but there are absolutely no hints as to how to open it. Press the buttons randomly and it will eventually open which seems pointless to me.

The game is incredibly short and the lack of puzzles down grades this game terribly. The graphics and the Silent Hill name makes this game worth trying but don't expect a masterpiece.

6/10


THE HOUSE. LINK

In The House, you have gone to investigate the home of a family who had all died in the 1970's, what happened to them and why were they all killed?

Set in black and white this game is close to amazing. Again it's not a long game but with will make you jump in several places. You go through each room individually finding out what happened to each family member.

There are no puzzles and the game can be quite tedious depending on who's playing. In each room there are several items that you can look at but you have to keep looking at them until you find out what happened in each room.

I showed this game to a friend of mine and she was jumpy all the way through it, and that was when she was playing in the daytime. Play in the dark with the sound way up and see how you fare.

9/10
