Thriller games keep players on edge with tension, suspense, and stories that unfold through dread and uncertainty rather than constant action. Expect atmospheric pacing, psychological pressure, mysteries that slowly reveal themselves, and moments designed to unsettle. Some lean into outright horror while others build quieter unease through narrative and tone. Titles like Alan Wake and Little Nightmares show the range, from cinematic narrative-driven experiences to eerie, white-knuckle journeys where every shadow feels like a threat worth fearing.
