1. P.T.

Corridor to hell

A house that's not as empty as it looks...

Silent Hill is one of the most terrifying, psychologically harrowing series in the history of gaming.

Enter P.T., the playable teaser for the now defunct Silent Hills.

It starts off simply enough. You’re in an empty house filled with lonely corridors. There are portraits on a table. A telephone. Normal, everyday stuff.

Then you hear the whisperings. You see the shadows taking on human shapes. And the doors that you thought were leading you nowhere? Oh, they’re leading you somewhere, all right. The question is: will you like where they take you?

The game includes a puzzle so complicated it took the entire internet to solve. Together with unnerving lighting effects and sound design, creepy fetuses rotting in bathrooms, a gradual descent through hell, and one heck of a tortured soul, P.T. wins itself rank #1 on our list of scariest games to play in 2015.

Our rating – 5/5
