10 Non-Horror Games That Will Still Creep You Out

Non-Horror Games That Will Still Creep You Out

Dark Souls

Dark Souls is technically Dark Fantasy, but it certainly feels like a horror game in many ways. Even the simple fact that you’re playing as an undead soul fits the bill exactly.

The Dark Souls series consistently surprises you with traps and enemies lurking around every corner, and even treasure chest mimics that’ll make you jump out of your seat. The sheer tension and terror of each combat encounter also makes it as stressful as any great horror game.

To add to all this, Dark Souls’ enemy design is often horrifying, from the mutilated Lycanthropes in Dark Souls 3 to the odd-looking Mushroom People of the first game. There’s a variety of reasons Dark Souls might give you nightmares, but just know, it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
