Scariest Horror Games on Android.

Death Park

• Cost: Free
• Release date: September 5, 2019
• Developer: Euphoria Horror Games
• Download: Play Market

Even the undead hunter Sam Winchester is afraid of clowns. This is not surprising, because their creepy makeup can hide anything. In this game, you are not even an undead hunter, but an ordinary person lost in a large amusement park. And you will be there alone with a bloodthirsty clown.

The game has a plot, but it will captivate you with its atmosphere. The horror is really scary thanks to the clown who sees you and hears every sound. It will not be easy to hide from him. Also, as you progress, you will have to solve many difficult riddles to get out of the park.

Five Nights at Freddy’s

• Price: $2.99 ​​(about 290 rubles)
• Release date: August 24, 2014
• Developer: Clickteam USA LLC
• Download: Play Market

The first part takes place in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where the player will have to work as a night watchman. But you will have to fear not robbers and hooligans, but animatronic dolls that come to life at night, who dream of getting to the guard and dealing with him in the most cruel way.

There is no ability to move in the game: you are always at the security console, and the only protection from monsters are surveillance cameras and remotely controlled doors.

Despite the fact that the game exploits the cheapest scare technique – screamers, it does it masterfully, and you will not stop shuddering from the unexpected appearance of approaching bloodthirsty dolls right away.

CASE: Animatronics

• Cost: Free
• Release date: October 14, 2018
• Developer: OOO VALNAT
• Download: Play Market

The creators of this game were probably inspired by the success of Five Nights at Freddy’s, because they have a lot in common: a confined space, problems with electricity, animatronic animals dreaming of killing you. But in terms of gameplay, CASE: Animatronics is a completely different game.

Our hero, Detective Bishop, is not tied to the security console; he moves freely around the police station and looks for shelters in which to hide from crazy robots, and broadcasts the image from the surveillance cameras to the tablet in his hand.

This protagonist won’t just wait until morning in the hope that everything will end – he actively searches for the reasons for what is happening and tries to find a way to stop the villain. But whether he will succeed depends on you.

Knock-knock-knock

• Price: $1.49 (about 145 rubles)
• Release date: May 29, 2014
• Developer: Ice-Pick Lodge Studio
• Download: Play Market

Domestic company Ice-Pick Lodge became famous for its non-trivial approach to creating games with the release of the cult Plague of Utopia. This game is a kind of art house from the world of game design, so you naturally expect something unusual from Knock-Knock. And for good reason.

You need to solve the mystery of the forest house. After sunset, something incredible began to happen there: the walls were breaking, the light went out, a howl was heard from the attic. All night long, your character will have to repair the walls, return the light and hide from strange guests who want to visit you. You need to hold out until dawn and figure out what happened during the night.

Granny

• Cost: Free
• Release date: November 24, 2017
• Developer: DVLoper
• Download: Play Market

The action of this game also takes place in the wilderness. Our hero got lost, found a strange house, and was then attacked by a granny. Your task is to escape from captivity within five days and not get caught by the creepy granny, otherwise something irreparable will happen.

Granny is a monstrous monster whose voice you will remember forever. Your hero is far from her first victim, and the more you learn about the house and its creepy inhabitant, the more terrifying the picture will be before your eyes.

Granny’s success was logical. The game, originally conceived as a spin-off to the Slenderina series, turned into a series itself. In the second part of Granny, the grandmother was joined by an equally frightening grandfather, and in the third, Slenderina herself showed up at the ball, and the house in the forest was replaced by a luxurious three-story mansion full of creepy mysteries.

Horrorfield

A group of players find themselves in a closed location where a killer is operating. Each of the characters has their own unique abilities: an athlete runs fast, a doctor can heal wounds, an engineer can fix breakdowns, and so on. One of the players gets the role of a monster whose task is to kill all the survivors.

Monsters also have different abilities: a werewolf, weak in human form, can turn into a fast and strong wolf, a ghost can walk through walls, and a butcher can break equipment restored by survivors.
