10 Best Reverse-Horror Video Games You've Probably Never Heard Of

5. In Silence

Humans can run, hide, fight, scream and survive under even the most horrifying of circumstances. With that being said, one thing that humanity struggles with is the skill to remain quiet. That's where this reverse horror game steps in.

In Silence is another asymmetrical horror which plays from two perspectives. You either take control of the human characters, who need to survive the onslaught of a terrifying beast who has limited vision but incredible hearing. Or, the other - and far more entertaining - perspective, which allows you to play as said beast as you hunt down your friends and tear them limb from limb.

The sound mechanic is so interesting, as playing through the creature's eyes gives you a whole new lens to look through. Thanks to your lack of strong vision, you learn how to change your hunting behaviour and adapt to the avatar's requirements. By doing so, you truly become immersed in the gameplay and get a great chance to test out your senses.

Additionally, the speaking mechanics are great, as you can communicate to your fellow survivors or speak as the monster, freaking out your peers and having a whale of a time.
