10 Best Horror Games You Can Complete In One Night

8. Killer Frequency

Resident Evil 3
AdvJam / Team17

Channeling the vibes of horror movie PontyPool, Killer Frequency sees you play as a radio show host in a local town being terrorised by a knife-wielding maniac. With callers ringing in asking you to save their lives as they're hunted by a slasher, you have to make quick decisions on what they should do - keeping up to date on news bulletins, road closures, and other tidbits around the studio to ensure you can guide them to safety.

It's busybody work, yes, but better to be busy stemming the pile of bodies than added to their number, surely?

Killer Frequency's specific style of tense horror (and lick of comedy) is born from conversation, and the creeping dread that wrong decisions could result in condemning your callers to having their last words broadcast live on air. Impressively built in two weeks for Adventure Jame 2019, this is half an hour that sends you back to the glory of 80s slashers and plops you right into the heart of the genre.

Think you'd make the smart choices in a horror movie? Why don't you find out...
