10 Great Horror Games That Are Ugly On Purpose

Puppet Combo is a development studio known for making wild, violent and ugly games - seriously; their whole repertoire could appear on this list. But, when it comes to picking a magnum opus from this quirky company, there can be none better than Murder House. It's a game so vile that Japan even banned it - which is quite something.

Murder House takes you and puts you in a murder house - go figure. You play as a news crew member who breaks into the home of an executed serial killer, and if that sounds like a bad idea, it's because it is. There you soon enter a fight for survival against a terrifying killer known as the Easter Ripper.

The visual style is integral to the gaming experience, as the PS1-style graphics combined with the grainy camera quality makes the whole thing feel like it's from a bygone time. Seeing as the title is a loving send-up to the slasher genre, this feels incredibly appropriate, giving the game a classic late eighties vibe.

Everything about the game looks creepy, with not just the terrifying bunny killer giving you chills. Every character is rendered with an ugly uncanniness that makes the whole thing feel like a nightmare.
