20 Recent Indies That Put AAA To Shame
16. Skinwalker Hunt Adds Something New To The Horror Genre
Modern AAA horror games have been mostly spared from the pitfalls of current big studio practices, maintaining a high standard of quality without excessive monetization.
Still, if you look at the history of recent AAA horror games, it’s easy to notice that most of them are remakes of classic releases like the Resident Evil series, and they tend to sell for the current market rates of $50 or £40 on average.
That’s why if you’d rather experience a new type of horror for almost a quarter of modern prices, Skinwalker Hunt is the indie gem for you!
The game’s premise is rather simplistic—you’re a cryptid hunter trying to kill America’s most infamous shapeshifter. There’s barely any plot, but the game’s eerie atmosphere and the intelligent AI of your “prey” make it one of the most immersive and genuinely terrifying horror games on the market.
The environment of the forest you’re camping in keeps changing in real time, and depending on how clever of a hunter you are, you can either take down the skinwalker or become its next victim as it sneaks up on you disguised as an animal or bends the forest to its will!
It's the most well-designed and effective take on horror you'll see in recent releases!
