13 great horror games for horror wimps to play

October is spooky season, and the urge to settle in with some pumpkin-scented candles with a seasonally fitting game is at an all-time high. But while there are plenty of horror games out there for the brave and the bold, what are the scaredy-cats to do this Halloween season? 

Never fear — we’ve collected a very lucky 13 horror-tinged games that are perfect for the horror-curious and those who just want some light spooky vibes instead of bloodcurdling intensity. Our selections range from light atmospheric eeriness to heavier, creepier scares (but still not outright terrifying!). Each one is ranked by a horror wimp’s rating (if you’re a hardcore horror fan reading this list, we know our level 8s are probably your level 2s), with a more in-depth description of just what type of scares you can expect.
