I’m feeling like trying a scary game thinking it could be therapeutic! I am a newbie to the genre though and don’t particularly want to be scarred for life. I have played Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and probably couldn’t handle anything scarier. What do yall suggest?

SOMA has an easy mode that turns off enemy AI. Still scary on an existential story level, and the atmosphere is amazing enough to make a no AI playthrough still worth it.
Dead Space is decently scary, but a pretty good one for newcomers since it focuses on action a lot more than horror. The sequels focus even less on horror, so it might be a good series as a whole.
Alan Wake is also pretty good.
Just finished Little Nightmares for the first time, and while it barely scratches the surface of horror, it still might be a good place to start.
Subnautica isn’t necessarily a horror game, but I think I was more scared in certain parts of that game than any horror game I’ve played.
Also “Stories Untold,” is a great one! Tense horror vibe, but nothing really nightmare inducing.
What exactly does ‘no enemy AI’ mean? Do they just stand around and not engage?
Minecraft joking good multiplayer one is phasmophobia
My Friendly Neighborhood
Alien: isolation
There is no such thing as a scary video game. Dive in head first you will save a lot of time.
There aren’t any.
Hello neighbor is pretty low on the scary side.
Metro Series
Subnautica.
Penumbra
Doom 3 if you want absolute easy mode. Even if I love the game.
Resident Evil 4
Project zomboid
The Quarry and other games by that dev fit this description perfectly. Engaging stories, easy gameplay, good writing, and creepy atmospheres. I enjoyed those games way more than I thought I would
