Games That Use Atmosphere Instead of Jump Scares

If you’re easily scared like me, but still want to enjoy horror games, don’t worry – there are options! These games focus on building a creepy atmosphere and keeping you constantly tense, rather than relying on sudden shocks. Some include chases, which can sometimes lead to startling moments, so be prepared. While most are mostly free of jump scares, a few might have a couple of unexpected surprises, but nothing as intense as games like Outlast.
