Halloween has just passed, so we decided to close out the spooky season by ranking our favorite horror games made by Supermassive Games. From Until Dawn to their Dark Pictures anthology series, Supermassive Games has forged its path into the horror scene by creating interactive horror games that took the gaming industry by storm. 

10º - Hidden Agenda

Hidden Agenda is a cinematic adventure game that whisks players away on a story of investigation, corruption, and tension. Players utilize the PlayLink system to make choices on their smartphones that have a serious impact on the story, with multiple endings to see. Although it has good visuals and is fun to play the mini-games for finding clues, some spotty voice acting and a somewhat predictable storyline detract from this title. Its core factor of being able to influence each other's choices adds a bit of comedy value and fun for solo or in groups. All in all, Hidden Agenda provides an excellent base of interactivity, but it does not perform well due to both narrative shortcomings and limitations imposed by technology itself.

9º - The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR

The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is a fast-paced, on-rails horror experience for the PSVR2, taking players through several chilling scenarios inspired by the Dark Pictures anthology. In all, this rollercoaster-like ride of jump scares and intense action takes roughly four to five hours to play, though it is highly replayable with many different paths and difficulty settings. It sometimes makes the horror elements all a bit predictable, and despite their stylized nature, these visuals perhaps do not fully reach their highest potential. Despite this, Switchback VR will be an entertaining addition to the PSVR2 lineup nonetheless, especially for lovers of arcade shooters and horror experiences.

8º - Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is a thrilling VR horror game that throws you into a creepy amusement park straight out of the Until Dawn world. Instead of focusing on a deep story, it’s all about fast-paced, heart-pounding action and plenty of jump scares as you face off against some truly terrifying creatures. While it doesn’t have the same story impact as the original game (obviously), Rush of Blood is a must-play for fans of horror and VR, thanks to how well it uses the VR setup to deliver a very solid package. It’s a great mix of nostalgia and intense moments that will keep you coming back for more.

7º - The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan

The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan drops players into a nautical supernatural horror experience as they follow a group of friends whose diving trip turns into a terrifying experience aboard a ghost ship. The branching narrative allows player choices to have huge impacts on character fates, adding a great deal to replayability and engagement. The game does manage to create tense situations to put our characters through, though some character developments feel lacking and underdeveloped, and you can tell the developers were still refining some of the gameplay systems, which feel a bit clunky and hard to use. Overall, Man of Medan does a great job of introducing the anthology and making players want more of such chilling adventures.

6º - The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me

The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me is a creepy new entry in the anthology, set in a modern-day replica of H.H. Holmes' infamous "Murder Castle." The game expertly creates a suffocating atmosphere of dread, filled with traps and puzzles that add a fresh layer of interactivity to the series. The story follows a film crew trapped in the eerie mansion, where your decisions determine who survives. While the game’s setting and concept are compelling, some of the character development feels shallow, and certain quick-time events can be frustrating. Nonetheless, The Devil in Me delivers an intense, suspense-filled experience with high stakes, making it a thrilling new chapter for fans of the series.

5º - The Dark Pictures: Little Hope

The Dark Pictures: Little Hope heavily leans into its eerie atmosphere, dropping you into a fog-shrouded town filled with unsettling history and creepy surprises around every corner. Inspired by the Salem witch trials, the story taps into a real sense of dread, helped along by some eerie visuals and a growing feeling of isolation as you uncover what is really going on in the small town. The branching choices give your decisions real weight, leading to multiple possible outcomes. While the pacing can drag at times and the characters may be less developed than those in other entries, Little Hope still delivers a solid, spooky ride for anyone who enjoys interactive horror.

4º - The Casting of Frank Stone

The Casting of Frank Stone offers a slow-burning horror experience that really leans into its connection with Dead by Daylight, especially for fans curious about the deeper lore of the franchise. However, the story can sometimes feel a bit underwhelming, and some mechanics—such as the 8mm camera—end up feeling more like missed opportunities than core features. The pacing definitely takes its time, but the key moments do a good job of pulling you back in. Ultimately, it feels like a love letter to Dead by Daylight fans, though it may not have the same impact for those looking for something new.

3º - The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes

The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes is a unique combination of military action and supernatural horror, this time set within the Iraq War, where soldiers and archaeologists find themselves trapped in an ancient, monster-infested temple. The underground setting establishes a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere, while choice-based gameplay keeps players on edge, with decisions leading to life-or-death consequences. Although some of the choices may feel less impactful than in previous entries, the pacing is strong, balancing equal amounts of exploration and quick-time events. Strong character development and presentation combine to make House of Ashes a suspenseful horror experience that fans of the anthology series will remember for a long time.

2º - The Quarry

The Quarry is an interactive horror game that captures the spirit of a classic teen slasher. Join nine camp counselors on their last night as they attempt to unravel a terrifying mystery at this summer camp. The game excels with its cinematic presentation, stunning graphics, and solid voice acting from a talented cast. Like Until Dawn, the branching choices and butterfly effect system create high replay value, as a choice may lead to one of many different directions, with life and death hanging in the balance. Some pacing issues do arise, especially in the more slow-burning parts, but where it matters, The Quarry effectively builds tension and provides an extremely memorable horror experience. It is perfect for those who love narrative-driven and choice-heavy games.

1º - Until Dawn

Until Dawn is a high-intensity, cinematic horror game that effectively merges well-woven interactive storytelling with very suspenseful gameplay. Set in a remote mountain lodge, the game tells the tale of a group of friends whose night of fun turns into a fight for survival against mysterious forces. Probably the most outstanding feature of the game is the "butterfly effect" it enforces: every choice is weighted, meaning each subsequent playthrough will be very different. The game features a chilling atmosphere, great graphics, and a haunting soundtrack that amplifies tension. Although some of its characters' dialogues may sound a bit cheesy, Until Dawn's branching narrative and unexpected plot twists make it an experience that no horror fan should miss.
