10 One-Of-A-Kind Horror Video Games

10. Little Nightmares

One commonality between a tonne of horror games is the concept of player disempowerment.

Getting into the shoes of someone who cannot fight back is an easy way to elicit some pretty terrifying moments. Many titles do this by taking away combat and weaponry, but Little Nightmares goes one step further by living up to its title and making you tiny.

The game follows a little girl in a raincoat called Six as she attempts to escape from a massive tanker known as The Maw. This gigantic structure is filled to the brim with monstrous adult creatures who eat children, so it's safe to say you'll be feeling very helpless.

Besides the lack of power given to the player, Little Nightmares also stands out thanks to its incredible art style that's creepy and uncanny, yet also oddly playful, resembling something from a Tim Burton movie.

It's one of a kind thanks to how unique the world is and how it approaches horror from a different perspective. Sure, having something jump right at you is scary, but running away from a giant monster knowing they are so close to catching you is the kind of tension-filled ride that will give you some major anxiety.

The sequel also continues this uniqueness, but it's best to start with the original.
