Best Survival Horror Side Scroller Games on PC

Cold Call

I never write reviews but with game, I want to talk about this one. The game is short and sweet but still a good one. The price is accetable for this game and it had some good scares. In other words I liked this game and hope this game gets a sequel.

This is a really fun game! I didn’t think I would like this too much, but it kinda surprised me and delivered some solid spoops. The point and click style is different from most games I’ve tried and I liked it a lot. I would love to see achievements for this one day.

One problem: The end of the game is really buggy for me. Hopefully the Devs pop in and have a look. Other than being unable to complete the game due to bugs/AI tuning, I had fun.

! When you have to fight the snowman, you don’t have enough fuel. If you try to go back to the shed to get another can of spray, it won’t let you in. So if you run out of flamethrower fuel, icicles just keep spawning until you die, even if you turned the heater back on in the room.

GAME TUBE ♛

Такое ощущение, что GAME TUBE - это сборник проб пера людей, которые решили заниматься игровым девелопментом. И, судя по результату, им стоит поменять свое решение и искать другое занятие по жизни. Другими словами, GAME TUBE - это набор “типа игор”, которые сделаны на коленке и играть в них нет ни малейшего интереса.

Escape From Violet Institute

I really, really want to like this game. The 2d portion shows a lot of potential, and the shift from perspective inside the game proper is well done and keeps you interested in whats going on.

The game suffers from overly confusing sections during the 3d portion, I in particular had to speak with the dev twice due to getting stuck behind a plant and the game needing to have its collision changed, and another when a scripted event did not properly trigger to kill my character.

Please dev, if you are reading this if you could post a text or video walkthrough or hint guide or some such it would make it much easier, and less likely for someone to get frustrated and quit because they couldnt figure out what to do.

Lakeview Cabin 2

Another good chapter in the Lakeview series, the 80s Horror/slasher genre feeling is captured again and you can feel it in this new adventure. True moments of distress and the feeling that you have to watch your back will hit you as soon as you start the game (at least after the first night ;-) there is new set of scary Killers waiting for you in this First Episode and new ways to deal with them with some traps you could “built” resembling the ones made by the kid of the old movie “Home alone” that will allow you to make really convoluted ways to hurt and kill your persecutors (The lore is expanded in this new game and as it’s still early for anything “official” everything is left to the interpretation of the players but is clear it is another work of love by the author). The game is still a work in progress but you could lose hours trying to beat it in the best way possible. There is again no Save option and your choices (and some times luck) will determine the outcome of your play. Highly recommended to buy and support the creator and enjoy another Terrific story.

It’s so good. Great for fans of the last games especially. You’re put back into the wild world of Lakeview Cabin with new mechanics, new enemies, and the same amount of full frontal nudity.

I love how this has turned out, BUT be warned that this is very much in early access. You’ll experience lots of bugs, incomplete features, and less levels than the first game. Currently there are 2-ish levels, tons of new items along with old ones, absolutely fantastic graphical improvements, and new physics.

Mr. Hopp’s Playhouse 2

Mr Hopp has returned, or more accurately, arrived and he has brought friends with him.

Like the first game, it’s simple, controls are simple, but the game itself is not as straight forward. There’s more hunting for items involved, secret areas/stages to find, medallions to grab and coins to collect.

Not to mention that not only do you need to avoid Mr Hopp, but we have Mr Stripes and Miss Bo stalking through the orphanage as well.

The medallion stages can be difficult and frustrating at times, but can be completed after a few attempts.

First one was sooo good! Old school stealth platform horror with amazing visual & audio design.

This continue that in some respect, but increases the difficulty level to a ludicrous degree. I suspect some fans complained the first one was too easy for them, and so they had to ruin it for everyone…

At points it’s very hard to figure out what you are supposed to do, and the timing on, for example, special events are, if it is even possible, beyond punishing. You have to react BEFORE you even know what you are reacting to. I think I tried a certain section 25 times before being able to move on, and even then your heart is racing because the save points are so scarce and you don’t know what is coming up.

Overslept

It’s a great indie horror game.

There are hints over the game which is not noticeable at start but u discover later how to use the hints. I got stuck at some places but managed to solve a lot.

Expecting to see more in the future :)

First let me say, this is the best $2 I have ever spent.

The 2D artwork is amazing.

The puzzles are interesting and the pressure is hilariously awesome.

I really hope to see more games like this in the future from Justus Yew. I can’t recommend this game enough. Stop what you are doing, buy this game and thank me later.

Thanks for making an awesome game. I’ve yet to beat it, but I’m having a blast playing it so far!

Stramedia: my_MISADVENTURE

Me and my mom have been having a good dinner in the kitchen that night, then the doorbell rang and an envelope slipped through the mail hole.

“Good evening! You’ve been invited!”

…it started off, continuing that it’s an invitation to the “Stramedia Safehouse Facility” breach. The survey was…odd, to say the least, but some of the things were done fairly easy, though I didn’t think it would go through. Then some of the days were spend outside of our homes and school, though it’s up to you to think of whenever or not these were the good days. And then I am sure you know what happened next.

Stramedia - my_MISADVENTURE is an indie horror themed adventure game where you step into the shoes of a classroom warden who signed the agreement to possibly the most bizarre, yet somewhat deadly school trip in his entire life. Of course it may not start off deadly right away, but, uh…yeah, things are gonna escalate. But can you blame him? He really didn’t know what he and his friends (fiends? Frienemies?) were going up for.

Well, what can he do now? Surprise, surprise, getting the hell outta there he must.

(AKA: the stuff worth checking it out and/or purchasing for)

The main protagonist is wearing a fedora hat! This is probably the best selling point to this game… I think! I mean…this is one of the main factors you got attracted to that other game with a kid, the kid’s hat, the stuff…uh, no? Okay, but if you know what you’re doing, you can find and recruit three other friends you’ll get (or have) to play as!
Essentially, this is another “average mediocre indie” horror game, except the mediocrity here is 99% intentional! And not to mention that it’s got everything you love and hate to see and experience in a horror themed videogame! Stupid simple and ridiculous (and somehow twisted) puzzles (with a lot of “ands”), cliché monsters and thirsty spooky mannequins…except they actually want to drink tea, you pervert. Get out of here!
Simplistic Visual Pixel Art Style, Soundtrack and Audio Design! If you like looking at pixels with different contrast, I am sure your eyes will love that, and if your ears love to feast on the Low-Quality DPCM-ish Audio, giving you an illusion that you’re playing a crappy retro GameBoy Advance styled game or something, then you’re all welcome in!..oh, wait, I forgot that we are talking about a game that LOOKS pretty retro…huh, that’s lame.
No, really. That kid has a hat.
Despite it’s horror nature, it’s also a comedy game! What kind of comedy? This game has got most of it! Whenever it’s all bad puns, visual humor, random, dark, dry or somehow outright gross and (“mildly”) offensive humor, Stramedia has it in the stock and shelves!
Prepare for some surrealism, because no matter if it’s an optical thing or not, things are…weird, yet somewhat disturbing, but not personal space like disturbing, because this is where it draws the line even for us.
A nice variety of accessibility options! Whenever you want to reposition the dialogue box, change it’s text size, whenever you find some colored text hard to read, or just don’t feel like playing the game with a controller and just want to rest your only arm and control the game with it, it’s no problem! The accessibility (and other) settings options may enhance the experience more nicely! (if there’s something you want to suggest, please let us know and we will gladly look into adding it!)
Seriously, that kid is wearing my hat! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING! DON’T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH MY HAT!! :U
