Halloween is celebrated on October 31, the eve of All Saints' Day. This holiday is not very popular in Russia and the CIS countries, but Halloween is an excellent occasion to remember the best horror films for mobile platforms. We decided to collect the creepiest and scary games, which were once released on Android and iOS platforms. We hope that at least one of them will truly scare you.

Five Nights at Freddy's

One of the most popular in Lately horror series is Five Nights at Freddy's, which ended with the fourth part. The developer is from the same series, but, as he states, it will no longer be horror. It tells the story of a night watchman Pizzeria Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Suddenly at night, animatronic robots, which are programmed to entertain the public, begin to behave strangely and even creepily. The task of the player and the main character is to hold out until the morning, when the animatronics calm down.

If the first two parts are similar to each other in setting (pizzeria) and plot, then the third and fourth are more diverse. takes place in a now-closed pizzeria that now houses a horror attraction. The atmosphere became even more eerie. But the events are transferred to an ordinary house, and the main character is a child who is visited at night by those same toys. The change in setting affected the gameplay, but the horror component remained at the same level. Five Nights at Freddy's not only has cheap but scary screamers, but also has a great atmosphere that builds up every minute. Versions for iOS - , , , .

Eyes - the horror game

Eyes is one of the oldest mobile horror games. The gameplay is similar to Slender and its other copies, but Eyes is more creepy and atmospheric. According to the plot, the main character entered an abandoned mansion to rob it, but there he discovers something terrible. Even after you encounter inexplicable and creepy things, the main task does not change - to find bags of money that are inside various boxes and safes.
To open the latter, keys are required. The player needs to look for them for most of the gameplay.

The atmosphere is pumped up with various atmospheric sounds, and then the game begins to scare us with ghosts. If he touches the main character, the game will end, so you need to act carefully and quickly. The scariest part of Eyes is the moment when the player realizes that a ghost has noticed him and he must hide. Don't panic. The main thing is to run away as far as possible, and only then think through a plan of action again.

Dead Space

There are practically no high-quality horror games from large studios on mobile platforms - these are mainly indie games from independent developers. But EA has ported a pretty good action-horror game, Dead Space, to iOS and Android. Original game is one of the best space-horrors on all platforms. There are few truly creepy moments in Dead Space, but it perfectly conveys the atmosphere of loneliness in a spaceship that has been captured by disgusting creatures called Necromorphs.

The designs of the local monsters can really be scary. One of the "tricks" of Dead Space is the ability to shoot off the limbs of your opponents. At the same time, they will continue to live and will still try to kill you without one leg, arm or some other unidentified limb. Among other advantages of the games, it is worth noting the excellent sound, but the disadvantages include poor optimization for mobile platforms - Dead Space often lags and slows down, but it is well controlled from the touch screen. It is worth noting that Dead Space 2 was also ported to iOS, but the remake did not appear on Android.

Murder Room

The Murder Room game is made in the style of classic Japanese horror - a lot of puzzles and puzzles, the action takes place in a closed space, and also has a characteristic aesthetic. Murder Room puts you in a room with a psychopathic killer who wields a chainsaw and, of course, wants you dead. The player can interact with objects in the room. Interaction is mainly about solving puzzles and puzzles, which are sometimes done in the good traditions of Silent Hills, that is, “nothing is clear at all.”

If solving the puzzles at some point becomes too difficult for you, you can use hints that are sold through in-app purchases - the game is free. The main features of Murder Room are a good graphic style and sound, as well as a great story. By the way, after completing the main plot, an additional story opens, which, on the other hand, will shed light on the events of Murder Room.

LIMBO

The LIMBO platformer can hardly be called a full-fledged horror game, but there is definitely a creepy atmosphere in this game. In the story, a boy lost his sister. To find her, he enters the world of LIMBO. Everything here is black and white and monochrome. There is a hopeless and depressing atmosphere around, but the main character is little boy not afraid of local dangers.

LIMBO has a great story and good gameplay, which is ideal for mobile devices with a touch screen. This is definitely one of the best mobile games of 2015 overall. LIMBO is available on Android and iOS.

Knock-Knock

Like LIMBO, Knock Knock Knock from Russian studio Ice-Peak Lodge is more creepy and suspenseful than scary. There are no unexpected jump scares or anything suddenly jumping out from around the corner. The main character of Knock-Knock-Knock is a guy whose name is simply Tenant. Lately, he has noticed strange eerie sounds and strange things happening near his house or even inside. All this prevents the Tenant from sleeping well at night, so he is forced to wander around the house and investigate the reasons for the eerie sounds.

The main task of the main character is to survive until the morning in his right mind and not go crazy from what he can see. By the way, during the game it is better not to look where you shouldn’t - a collision with something creepy can drive the Resident crazy. Also in Tuk-Tuk-Tuk you will have to hide, just like when you were a child playing hide and seek. As you progress, the history of the house and the forest around it will be revealed, and at the end you will find an unexpected twist in the style of all games by the Ice-Peak Lodge studio.

Dark Meadow: The Pact

Dark Meadow: The Pact was well received not only by publications and critics, but also by the players themselves, who enjoyed this creepy adventure. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, which was definitely inspired by the Bioshock games. The main character walks around an abandoned hospital, fights bloodsucking goblins and tries in every possible way to survive in the difficult local environment. Dark Meadow: The Pact may seem like a simple shooter at first, but the game has some creepy surprises.

During the passage, the player will witness creepy scenes, and there are also escalating screamers. Since Dark Meadow: The Pact is largely inspired by the Bioshock games, the atmosphere of survival and exploration here is quite original and interesting. Among other features of the game, it is worth noting high-quality graphics (the popular Unreal Engine 3 is used) and a good plot that spurs the gameplay and does not allow the player to fall asleep.

Lost Within

Amazon has created a separate studio within itself that produces game exclusives for its own devices based on Android, as well as for iOS. One of the most notable games from Amazon was the horror game Lost Within, which has a fairly typical setting, but interesting gameplay and a good scary component. The local protagonist is in yet another abandoned psychiatric clinic, where something strange happened - all the patients became aggressive monsters, and the building looks abandoned for decades.

In Lost Within you will really need to survive: look for various garbage to make weapons out of it, and the main character will not be able to fight without it. At many points you cannot engage in open combat - it is better to simply run away from strange and creepy creatures. Lost Within also has a twisted and interesting plot, and an excellent sound component that helps immerse you in the local atmosphere. Don't forget about the high-quality graphics of Lost Within.

Indigo Lake

Recently released on the platform Android game Indigo Lake is an open world horror game, which is quite unusual for the genre. As the name suggests, the center of events is Lake Indigo, in the vicinity of which terrible things happen - suicides, paranormal activity, etc. To investigate all this, a special agent and an expert in all things paranormal was sent to the lake. He disappears, and the main character, a detective, goes in search of him.

As already mentioned, the Indigo Lake horror game features an open world, so you can explore the surroundings of the creepy lake at your own discretion. There are really a lot of territories open for exploration in the game. You can travel around the lake by car. The main character has a pistol and a flashlight in his arsenal. The player will have to unravel the mysteries left by the indigenous people of America and find the missing agent. In some places, the atmosphere of Indigo Lake is truly creepy.

Slender Man

We should also not forget about a whole series of horror films, which began on Internet forums. Slender Man or "Slender Man" was first mentioned on one website, but later the story of a tall and thin creature without a face became very popular. Some studios have even released commercial games about Slender Man. There are several games on PC and consoles that can be called authentic, but there are none on mobile platforms. Some developers have tried to bring Slenderman to Android and iOS.

The essence of all games in the Slender Man series is that the main character usually needs to find notes that are scattered around the local location. Each note gradually reveals the plot. During your search, you may encounter that very subtle person whom you should never look at, otherwise the game will end. You can recognize the approach of Slenderman by the characteristic effects - artifacts and interference (all games are made in the style as if the main character is recording everything on camera). What could be scarier than a midnight walk through the forest, where a creepy man in a suit and without a face lives.
