It may be a little rough around the edges in places, but what After Hourslacks in polish, it more than makes up for with atmospheric excellence. The game can be unnervingly spooky at times, thanks in large to the thought and meticulous attention to detail that went into designing its setting and its excellent use of sound. Like many other free-to-play horror games before it, After Hourstakes place in an abandoned hospital. Players must explore and escape the derelict facility, while simultane...

Despite now being more than a decade old, Valve's fantastic top-down shooter Alien Swarmremains just as enjoyable as ever. The game even features cooperative multiplayer, which is something of a rarity in the free-to-play market. Of course, given the size and stature of the developer, this perhaps shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to players. Alien Swarm doesn't contain jump scares, nor does it rely on shocking imagery like some of the other great free-to-play horror games on Steam, bu...

The point-and-click adventure genre has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, though it could perhaps be argued that it never really went away in the first place. Released just in time for Halloween of 2015, Alpha Polaris: A Horror Adventure Gameis a solid example of a post-2000 point-and-click adventure and boasts an excellent story, thought-provoking puzzles, and an art style that perfectly suits the genre. Those who are accustomed to cheap thrills and jump scareswill likely come...

Inspired by some of the great RPG Maker horror games of yesteryear, Annis arguably one of the most well-presented free-to-play passion projects on Steam. It looks and sounds fantastic and blends together high-quality animation and traditional 2D sprite-based gameplay to surprisingly good effect. The game's storyline is nothing to write home about aside from a few interesting beats, but the gameplay more than makes up for this. The puzzles are a lot of fun and the chase scenes have a lot of po...

As the game's title might suggest, At Home Alone Finalwas in development for quite a while before the current version was released at the beginning of 2022. The end result is a game that ends up being a lot more spooky than it is terrifying, though it still very much warrants its placement in the upper echelons of the free-to-play horror game genre. The juxtaposition between the cutesy and colorful art style and some of the dark themes and imagery explored throughout the game works remarkably...

Located in a forsaken district on the outskirts of a sprawling megalopolis, the town of BABBDI perfectly encapsulates the concept of strangeness. Its desolate streets and the humanoid creatures that reside there are wonderfully unsettling, while the town's many hidden encourage players to explore it more deeply despite the ever-growing sense of dread. The goal of BABBDIis a simple one, with players just needing to find a way to escape, yet this is far from a simple game. Yes, there's no comba...

One of the most popular horror games of all time thanks to its unique combination of Silent Hill and Half-Life, Cry of Fear is objectively one of the better free-to-play games around. The game boasts a triple-A adjacent experience, with an 8-hour campaign and multiple ending scenarios, on top of a co-op experience and diverse modding community that satisfies anyone left wanting more. Cry of Fear takes the premise of Silent Hill's otherworld and puts it into a first-person survival shooter. Wh...

Most people have probably never heard of Disaster Squad Productions' Cursed trilogy, which, in truth, is a real shame. The three point-and-click games are full to the brim with passion, and although they rarely end up being scary despite the many horror themes and motifs that can be found throughout them, this doesn't make them any less enjoyable for players. It's always nice to see an indie developer improving with each new game and this is very much the case with Cursed. Not only do the vis...

Described by its creators as "a 3D narrative experience in madness," Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraftis one of the most immersive free-to-play horror games on Steam. At least it is when played in VR mode, anyway: a feature that most indie devs could only dream of implementing in their titles, especially those that are being given away for free. As the title might suggest, it's one of many games inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraftand can be played with or without a VR headset. The whole thing can...

Dark Deception is a little bit like Pac-Man, only with pink shards instead of tiny yellow balls and terrifying monkey bellhops replacing all the ghosts. The giant maze that players are forced to navigate is equally intimidating, with the rundown hotel providing no safe havens in which players can hide to catch their breath. It's perhaps that last detail that makes Dark Deception such a great free-to-play horror game, as players are forced to remain on guard for the entire duration of their pl...
