6. Intruders: Hide And Seek

The decision to have a stealth horror game set in first person is hardly original; in fact, it's pretty oversaturated in the year 2023. However, that is why Intruders: Hide and Seek sought to go further by adding another couple of layers to that immersion and delving deeper into the horror of a home invasion.

This game puts you in the shoes of a defenceless young boy, Ben, as he and his family go on vacation to their country house. However, their picturesque getaway is ruined after three invaders break into the house and take Ben's parents hostage. It's then up to the boy to save his family through stealth, exploration and a lot of hiding.

From that description, you can clearly tell that this game forces you into sheer vulnerability by having you play as a kid. This makes the villains all the more big and frightening as they feel like behemoths you need to conquer.

Additionally, the game is optimised for VR play, adding yet another stone to the crushing weight of tension and fear that drives the title. While it's available without the VR function, the sheer immersion truly sells this horror experience.
