A game without video. Only sound. And the voice you hear is Benedict Cumberbatch’s. Now how scary can things get?

The scenario:

With Benedict Cumberbatch’s voice all around you. Good luck.

Year Walk

A scary game that’s different from the others because it’s not in-your-face horror. It’s a subtly thrilling ride – or walk – through the woods that will give you the chills as you go along. It’s also accompanied by a free app that shares the Swedish folklore which inspires the game.

Indigo Lake

There’s something about lakes and creepy things that go well together. This game’s story:

Reports of unusual sightings at Indigo Lake are commonplace but recently a spate of suicides has triggered an investigation by paranormal specialists. Your good friend Dr Everett was sent to the lake to find out the truth behind the recent activity but he has failed to report in. It is now your task to find him and put to rest any supernatural activity for good.

Sounds good for a scary night of gaming, doesn’t it?
