Better scared together
Horror with friends is its own experience: the fear stays, but you laugh a lot more – usually at the friend who is running away screaming. This page shows games with a horror theme according to IGDB and co-op according to Steam, from ghost hunting to zombie campaigns.
Many modern horror co-op games use proximity chat: you only hear your friends when they are close. Lights off, headphones on.
Our picks
Phasmophobia
Ghost hunters with gadgets and voice recognition: the ghost listens when you call it. Goosebumps guaranteed.
Lethal Company
Collect scrap for “The Company” on abandoned moons. Proximity chat turns every encounter into comedy horror.
Resident Evil 5
Action horror with a campaign fully playable in co-op – Chris and Sheva against infected hordes.
Popular games: Horror
