What I love about indie games is that they offer something new to gamers. That’s why this Halloween, I’m not going to recommend the usual horror games created by the Big Names. I’m going beyond the border and introduce you to five of the best indie horror games you can find on Steam.
Among the Sleep

Among the Sleep follows the story of a two-year-old child who wakes up in the middle of the night after hearing a mysterious sound. Explore an eerie atmosphere in the body of a vulnerable toddler and all his childlike anxiety as he makes sense of the world. Its unique approach to horror makes it one of the best and most creative indie games on Steam. Among the Sleep is a game from Krillbite Studio that was released on May 29, 2014.
The Forest

The Forest is an open-world horror game that allows you to play as the lone survivor of a passenger jet crash. You find yourself stuck in the middle of the forest filled with cannibalistic mutants. Aside from these mutants, you also need to build shelter, hunt for food, and keep yourself warm. The Forest is an early-access game and still being developed as of the moment. This also means that new features will add up every now and then, to keep the thrill in the game.
Don’t Starve Together
