10. DEVOUR
We start this top of recommended horror games for 2023 with Devour, Banish Evil Together.
For those who want something to play with their friends after getting bored of Dead by Daylight either Phasmophobia must try Devour. This is a indie survival-horror which inspires its gameplay in the old Slender games and combines them with team survival on different maps. Players must find objects (which depend on the map) and destroy them in order to break the curse of the place and scare away the entity that is stalking them. It can be played with up to 4 players.
9. The Quarry

The Quarry it's a game of horror interactive drama developed by Supermassive Games and published by 2K. It is about 9 counselors in charge of a summer camp who are stranded at Hackett's Quarry due to an unexpected incident that forces them to stay one more night at the camp. Left alone, they decide to take advantage of the night to have fun and share their last night together, but it turns out that Hackett's Quarry kept a secret that they didn't want to know about...
If you liked to play Until Dawn or any of the deliveries of The Dark Pictures Anthology, you are going to love this game since it is from the same developers and much more developed than The Dark Pictures saga.
8. The Evil Within

Continuing with this top horror games we have The Evil Within:
The Evil Within is a survival horror developed by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda. You play as Sebastián Castellanos, a police detective who becomes involved in a massacre at a psychiatric hospital while responding to a request for reinforcements there. Upon arrival he finds the horrific scene of the massacre of which there appear to be no survivors, but his investigation of the place takes a turn when he loses consciousness and wakes up in a distorted world full of creatures straight out of the worst nightmares.
This game has a truly creepy and macabre atmosphere that will keep you on edge the entire distance. If you like games like Resident Evil, this is a game you should definitely play.
7.Dead Space
Duration: around 11 hours
In seventh place we have another very top horror video game for you to try this year 2023 if you have not done so yet: Dead Space.
If you like the science fiction meets the terror of being stranded on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere, Dead Space is for you. You will play as systems engineer Isaac Clarke, who joins a rescue team heading towards a mining ship called the USG Ishimura since it was not responding to its radio. Unfortunately, the ship they arrive on suffers some damage which ends up leaving them stranded on the USG Ishimura, but they are unaware of the threat on the ship with them.
6. Simulacra
Duration: around 4 hours (has multiple endings)
In our sixth position Top horror games to try in 2023 is Simulacra: one of the most original and with the most modern theme among these video games.
If you are looking for something different from survival-horrors, Simulacra It's a game you should try. Simulacra It's about a cell phone that you find that turns out to belong to a girl named Anna. When you unlock it you come across a video in which Anna desperately asks for someone to help her. Thus you begin an investigation to find out Anna's whereabouts, since none of her friends seem to know where she is. But the more you investigate you begin to notice that the cell phone is acting strangely...
From creators of Sara is Missing, Simulacra It is a thriller that manages to completely immerse you in its story through the interface of a cell phone. The game is for computer, but I think that to get a better immersion you should play it on a cell phone.
5. Stories Untold
Duration: around 5 hours
Stories Untold It's a horror adventure-puzzle which is developed episodically, developed by No Code and published by Devolver Digital. It has 4 episodes, each one of which develops an independent story in a different way. It's up to you to solve the mystery behind each of these stories.
If you were looking for a more dynamic story you should try this one because each episode plays out in a different way, ranging from text-based adventure to first-person horror. I won't say much more since the mystery is a crucial part of this story.
4. Yuppie Psycho
Duration: around 9 hours (has multiple endings)
If you like 2D indie survival-horrors, Yuppie Psycho It's a game you should try. Here you play as Brian Pasternack, a young man with no future who receives a mysterious letter in which he is offered a job at a company called Sintracorp. But when he gets there it turns out that his job at the office is not the usual one, he is assigned to kill the witch who is corrupting the company.
Although the game seems to have bad graphics because it is 2D, it has cinematics with very good pixel art, so Don't judge it too much by its appearance because the plot turns out to be more complex and deeper than it seems.
3. At Dead of Night
Duration: around 10 hours
In our Top 3 Horror Games to try during 2023 is At Dead of Night.
At Dead of Night It is a point&click that is part horror movie, horror game and ghost hunting. You play as Maya, who with a group of friends becomes trapped in a remote hotel under the charge of Jimmy Hall. He locked Maya and her friends in hotel rooms, but Maya managed to escape. Now in order to rescue her friends she must discover the dark secrets of the psychopath who kidnapped them through the spirits of Jimmy Hall's victims, all while Jimmy tries to hunt her down.
The best thing about this game is how it manages to combine live-action sequences with computer-rendered graphics, making it a unique and much scarier experience than other horror games.
2. Stay Out of the House
Duration: about 2 hours
In our Top 2 Horror Games to try during 2023 is Stay Out of the House.
If you like horror games that look like an old VHS movie, Stay Out of the House has you covered. Here you start as Debra Kopiske, a normal girl who works as a cashier at a gas station during the night shift. You are in another normal day in Debra's life, serving customers who arrive at the gas station or doing tasks at it. Everything was like any other day at work, but...

1. The Bathhouse
Duration: around 2 hours (has multiple endings)
The first place in the Top Horror Games to try during 2023 goes to The Bathhouse.
For fans of horror games inspired by Japanese folklore this The Bathhouse. In this game you are Maina Akimura, a girl who, tired of the city, decides to move to a small town which she saw in an advertisement where she was offered an apartment in which she did not have to pay rent, the only condition was to work in the house. local bathrooms. Maina starts working at the place, but increasingly strange things happen as the days go by...
The developer of this game, Chilla's Art, has more games of this style that manage to turn a normal task or job into a truly terrifying situation in every game they make. In my opinion, that aspect is what makes each of their games unique, in addition to their ability to scare the shit out of you with all of their games.
I hope you like these recommendations, see you next time!
