10 Upcoming Horror Video Games You've Been Sleeping On

2. CONSCRIPT

Conscript Video Game
Catchweight Studios

There's very little scarier than the thought of what our forefathers and families went through during the First and Second World War. The very idea that humanity was brought to the brink twice is deeply disturbing and is only equaled by the sheer horror of what that experience did to hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, of course, any horror game that uses this setting as a backdrop is automatically going to carry with it a terrible sense of dread, and CONSCRIPT looks to have this in spades.

Set during the First World War, CONSCRIPT sees you in the role of a French soldier, isolated from his regiment and now with just one mission: survive. This survival horror takes the well known tropes such as limited resources and overwhelming enemy forces, and further challenges the player with puzzle solving and desperate firefights.

However, Catchweight Studios wasn't content with just this, and so of course a supernatural element infects the world, which if this early footage is anything to go by, will add yet another terrifying layer of fear. Sign me up.
