10 Best Teen Horror Video Games
10. Until Dawn
The perfect example of what happens when a game embraces teen horror genre tropes to delightful effect, Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn encapsulates everything about what you imagine a teen horror game should be and amplifies it tenfold.
Set in an isolated cabin on top of a snowy mountain, this game sees players take control of a group of high schoolers settling in for what should be a weekend of partying. Unfortunately for them, though, it doesn’t take long for carnage and murder to ensue, transforming their annual getaway into a nightmare experience as you explore deeper into the mountain to uncover its dark secrets.
While the writing and characters are the stereotypes we’ve seen dozens of times from every slasher movie, performances from the likes of Hayden Panettiere, Meaghan Martin, and the Oscar-winner Rami Malik ensure the impressively animated characters feel as real as possible, which means a lot when each decision you make has real consequences on how each character acts and whether they live or die.
A fun tribute to the genre with some genuinely disturbing death scenes, its biggest strength is its multiple branching narratives which essentially let you direct your own teen horror experience.
