About Horror
Horror is a tense, single-player puzzle adventure from STuNT, released in 2026. You play as a defenseless character armed only with a flashlight whose battery drains relentlessly. The game blends survival horror with logic-based challenges, forcing you to navigate dark, unsettling environments while solving environmental puzzles to progress. Set in a series of abstract, nightmare-like spaces, it emphasizes isolation and resource management. The focus is on mental endurance over combat, with mechanics that prioritize atmosphere and problem-solving. It’s a minimalist, cerebral take on the genre designed to test your patience and problem-solving skills under pressure.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time fumbling in near darkness, managing your flashlight’s limited battery life. Each level is a maze of shadows where puzzles require manipulating light to reveal hidden paths or bypass obstacles. Controls are straightforward, mouse to look, keyboard for movement and basic interactions, but the real challenge lies in interpreting cryptic visual cues. Time pressure mounts as the battery ticks down, forcing quick thinking. Puzzles often require retracing steps with new tools or angles. The camera can feel sluggish in tight spaces, and sudden noises heighten tension. Sessions rarely last longer than 30 minutes due to the punishing difficulty, but the payoff of solving a tricky sequence adds to the satisfaction.
What Players Think
Community ratings hover at 8.7/10, with 73% of players completing the game. Critics averaged 82%, praising its “haunting atmosphere” but noting “mechanics clash with pacing.” The average playtime is 6 hours 43 minutes, though completionists spend double that. Moods are split: 42% curious, 31% tense, 20% anxious. Over 213 achievements exist, with 94% unlocked on average. Player reviews highlight the flashlight mechanic as “genius but frustrating,” while others complain about inconsistent difficulty spikes. Despite mixed feedback, 68% of players say they’d replay it for the puzzle variety.
PlayPile's Take
Horror caters to fans of cerebral survival horror who enjoy methodical problem-solving. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier purchase, offering 7, 10 hours of challenging content. The 94% achievement unlock rate suggests accessibility despite its reputation. However, the slow pacing and occasional clunky design might deter casual players. It’s best suited for those who appreciate atmospheric tension over action. If you value clever puzzles and don’t mind frustration, this is a solid pick. Otherwise, skip it.
