Here's a few horror games to look out for in 2016:
NightCry
Spiritual successor to Clock Tower made by the director of Clock Tower 1, creature design by Masahiro Ito of Silent hill fame (who most famously made Pyramid Head's design), the composer of several Final Fantasy and Metal Gear games is on the musical score, the creator of the Ju-On/Grudge series is also helping. This game has been severely underlooked for ages, barely squeezed through crowd-funding, and is coming to PC and phone devices later this year.
Outlast 2
I'm going to ignore the survival-horror debates, as a horror fan it irks me when people refer to all games as survival-horror too, but I get most people just mean horror games when they say it. And Outlast 2 I think holds promise, found footage horror in the religious south. Hope they bring some big new things to pacing and design of the game.
Layers of Fear
This is in Early access on Steam currently, but hitting PS4 and coming out of Early Access next month. I've held off playing it since I decided I wanted to wait for the fully version (both it the moment it came out though, of course). But it's supposed to be a good P.T.-esque exploration horror game with events slowly happening, and some light puzzles, to my understanding. I have tried to remain unspoiled, mostly know people are raving about it and it's theme is an artist going through a psychological landscape or something.
Forgotten Memories
This game came out on phone platforms last year, but a director's cut version is being done and releasing on PC, PS4, and WiiU. It's a game that mixed fixed camera-angles and behind-the-shoulder aiming, limited supplies, and notably has the voice actors Guy Cihi (James Sunerland of SH2) playing a role. Got rave reviews and even awards for sound design and best mobile game last year I know.
We Happy Few
Set in a cartoony world, everyone in the city you're in is acting strange, donning weird white mask and watching you as you go by. They seem to work by some weird mob mentality, as at sudden's notice they can turn violent, or just watch you spaciously. An odd game, but one that holds some interesting promise.
Kodoku
Top-down Japanese horror game that delves into many Japanese Ghost stories and mythological tales. Twisted yet colorful visuals follow someone investigating a dark scenario. Looks stylistic, at the very least.
What Remains of Edith Finch
An episodic horror game where each episode you play as a member of the Finn family who gets involved in some sort of dark plague to the family. Created by the people who made Unfinished Swan.
The Hum: Abductions
Alien Invasion: As told through a horror video game.
Dollhouse
This game's been in development for a while. The idea kind of is that it's Siren as a rogue-like, you have enemies you can see through the eyes of and must evade or defeat to move on through generated levels. I also know the game will have a co-op multiplayer mode as you must help each other to escape stages and progress, and a versus mode where it's four humans and four dolls.
Perception
You are a blind woman who can only maneuver through echovision (which you for some reason have). send a signal to get light visual of the environment around you that makes noise. But obviously, you are not alone.
Asylum
A horror point'n'click by the creators of Scratches: Director's Cut. I have been in the alpha for this, I'll be interested what people think of it when it's all complete and out. Idea is you're investigating, you guessed it, an asylum with some sort of dark secret.
Narcosis
You are abandoned at the bottom of the deep sea. Now you must make your way somehow to escape to the surface, retain oxygen, survive the creatures of the deep abyss, and deal with loosening sanity.
DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark
The actually quite good classic-esque DreadOut gets a spin-off in Keepers of the Dark, a stand-alone game set in an open world in the world of the first DreadOut with new exploration and mission junctions, lots of new ghosts, locations, and telling the story of Linda's time in the mirror world.
---
I could go on, but a lot more. And a lot of games won't be revealed until literally right before they come out, or a few weeks prior too. It's been like that the last couple of years in the indie horror scene, the downside to all of this being that there is so many good horror games people easily miss out on or get no word of mouth what-so-ever.
