Even those who don’t have a video game or a PC that runs games can be afraid and face their fears. The Android system has several heavy titles within the genre that offer a horror experience, including adapted versions of the main franchises of the genre as well.
Alien isolation is a great example, with one of the most terrifying titles on console having its full version on the operating system of Google. The same can also be said of Five Nights at Freddy’swhile names like dead effect 2 AND eyes attract attention when looking for proposals specifically aimed at the smartphone.
Check out this list of some of the best horror games for Android phones:
10. Hello neighbor
Don’t let the colorful graphics and cartoonish look of this game fool you. Coming from the PC, where it was still a hit in early access, tinyBuild’s game focuses on a youthful story, like the one seen in many films by Afternoon sessionto scare the players, who control a group of kids who invade the house of the neighbor of the title to discover the secrets he hides at the gate.
Focused on stealth, hello neighbor draws attention to a constant voltage element. Traps can be placed around the scene by the neighbor, while the player also has a few ways to stun them to escape if found. Plus there’s an AI system that learns from your moves and makes the threat more relentless throughout the match.
9. Kidnapping
Yet another title that could deceive you due to its cartoonish graphics, Jesse Makkonen’s independent work bets on pixelated images to tell a short but intense story. Pocket horror accompanies a humor with a lot of personality as we explore a psychological terror that does not rely on cheap scares to captivate the user.
distraction is inspired by a horror book and with a very typical page plot, in which a young entrepreneur seeks success in a questionable industry. He is an eviction officer and, little by little, she sees his sanity crumble in the face of the sad stories he witnesses, turning into ghosts, monsters and supposed friends who promise help that never comes.
8. Eyes
Since we’re talking about games where we invade places we shouldn’t be, how about exploring a hospital for the disabled or an abandoned school? In this Survival Horror from Fearless Games, terror can also be shared, with multiplayer or single player options, as puzzles are solved and rooms full of secrets appear along the way.
eyes is free and receives periodic content updates. A mansion and a haunted house, in addition to the scenarios already mentioned, are among the options, while monsters, spirits and even creatures created by the players themselves roam the corridors. Between scares and runs, the user can also see himself as his tormentor, using a rune system that allows him to temporarily locate and plan his next steps.
7. Dead effect 2
With strong inspirations in names like destiny AND Dead space, as the name suggests, the first person shooter puts us on board a space station dominated by monsters. The entire crew has been transformed, and as an elite operative, you’ll need to conserve ammo and use technological resources to not only survive, but also to figure out what happened here.
dead effect 2 is ambitious, combines shooting with RPG elements, with a character development and improvement tree. Meanwhile, the story develops into a long campaign, something unusual to see in the Android gaming sector, and full of options to allow the user to choose the best way to play.
6. Insomnia
Light is your best friend in this game, as it not only allows you to see, but also prevents certain death. In a simple and similar title to the next one on this list, we need to be aware of the sounds and entry points of a creature that wants our blood, but wants to attack without being located.
insomnia, as the name suggests, lives up to the fear of the dark we felt as children, before bedtime. Here, however, the monster under the bed is real and lurking, with the player having only a flashlight and the focus itself to stop its advance. Only those who manage to survive five consecutive nights live to tell this story.
5. Five Nights at Freddy’s
The popularity of one of the most popular horror series in the gaming world has also reached mobile phones. The storyline that spawned several sequels and will even have a film also focuses on the tension of observation, as we take up the post of night watchman in a mysterious restaurant where animatronic dolls don’t just entertain customers.
The Android version of Five Nights at Freddy’s is remastered from the original PC version, where the game became a classic. With improved graphics and gameplay, we spend our nights watching security cameras and tracking the movement of enemies, who are obviously looking for a fresh dinner in the form of this macabre establishment’s new employee.
4. Dead in daylight mobile
We’ve gone from jump scares to frantic pursuit with yet another version ported from consoles and PCs to Android smartphones. With a strong inspiration from classic assassin films, Behavior Interactive’s title has left behind its troubled past on mobile phones to win a relaunch that seeks to match the releases available.
In the mobile world, dead in daylight brings all the content available in other editions. This results in not only the full survival experience but also cameos from assassins and characters from other franchises such as Panic, Halloween and until when resident Evil. The focus is on multiplayer, as groups of players attempt to accomplish objectives while on the run from a user-controlled psychopath.
3. Bendy and the Ink Machine
The prints, inks, and tragic story of a child character are the building blocks of yet another indie game that has achieved cult classic status. Old cartoons come to life in a not-so-funny way in a game full of personality, whose visuals are far from the norm we imagine when it comes to horror games.
With five episodes released in nearly two years, Bendy and the Ink Machine it involves dark experiments, classic entertainment and the exploration of scenarios, with the solving of simple puzzles to move forward. Controlling an animator who returns to his old workplace, we discover the mysteries surrounding the appearance of characters who are supposed to be friendly and exist only on the pages, but who actually appeared with very obscure designs.
2. Limbo
One of the greatest independent classics also has a version for the Android operating system. A young boy’s search for his lost little sister leads him into a dark world with a strong noir inspiration, where his very fragility is only greater than the dangers he will encounter along the way.
Limbo was developed by Playdead and has become a hit across all platforms. By solving small environmental puzzles in a two-dimensional world, the player will understand the history of this universe and more importantly its hidden meanings, while the trial-and-error dynamic is the main route forward, with the player learning from the obstacles and how to get rid of them.
1. Alien – isolation
One of the most terrifying creatures in cinema it became even more horrific in its virtual counterpart. The xenomorph of the game produced by Creative Assembly is not only lethal and incredibly fast but also able to learn from the player’s movements to create traps and catch him on the jump, making the gameplay more challenging as you progress. .
Alien: isolation has a storyline connected to the original film, Alien: the eighth passenger. We check Amanda Ripley, daughter of the original protagonist, Ellen, who follows in search of news about her where is her mother. This search leads her to Sevastopol, a space station that hides not only the secret of this reunion, but also the murderous alien motive that led to the disappearance of her character.
