10 Best Nintendo Switch Horror Games

10. Little Nightmares

This game really does have everything it needs to give you a scary and charming experience. It's got a gorgeous - if macabre - art style, some great puzzles, terrifying enemies, and a unique premise that leaves plenty to the imagination - but doesn't keep you in the dark.

Little Nightmares sees you take on the role of Six, a little girl in a yellow raincoat, who awakens from a dream to find herself aboard a strange and dangerous underwater vessel called The Maw. Armed with only a lighter and a collection of Nomes, you explore this strange place, challenge monstrous villains and attempt to escape your dreadful fate.

Part of what makes this game so exciting is the sense of progression. In the beginning, you feel utterly helpless as this unfortunate little girl trapped in a dome with hideous monsters, but as the title proceeds you begin to learn the ropes and start to take agency, becoming better at escaping your adversaries.

However, despite this, it's still terrifying throughout, thanks to your tiny size and the relentless stalking of the antagonists.

The sequel is also available for the system now, so you've got plenty of material to go through if you haven't played it yet.
