I was rather impressed with Layers of Fear as a horror game, the presentation was really fantastic and this new DLC seems interesting.

So you like to be afraid? You like to soil your pants? Well then, here's a few must-have titles to try on Linux & SteamOS.

I have to admit, I hadn't heard of Oxenfree until I saw it pop up in my twitter feed as it was retweeted by some excited fans. It seems the developers have been working away and it will come to Linux.

While I am not usually a fan of point and click adventure games, STASIS is exactly the setting that will hook me in! It looks fantastic.

I hadn't heard of Corpse Party myself until a few days ago, but it seems this popular series is getting a Linux entry. Corpse Party is currently being ported to Linux!

Among the Sleep is the first-person horror adventure where you're playing as a toddler—it's freaky. The developers have updated the game to Unity 5, and now it's all fixed up for Linux I could take a proper look.

This past week I played a small game by an interesting character who goes by Kitty Horrorshow. To call her games horror in a conventional video game sense would be misleading. They're abstract, graphically primitive, albeit striking, and tend to leave me with a lingering sense of dread and loneliness, as well as a sense of otherworldly wonder.

Are you ready to crap your pants? Layers of Fear has graduated Early Access to become a full member of the horror club.

Dreadlocks Ltd, indie game development studio responsible for last year's 2D cyberpunk RPG Dex, launches their first Kickstarter campaign for their brand new title: Ghost Theory.

Aspyr Media have announced they are now publishing the psychedelic horror game Layers of Fear. The game is currently in Early Access, and due out next month.

Good news AMD CPU fans, Feral Interactive has released a patch for Alien Isolation which should help you a little bit. There's other fixes too.

Lucius II is a game we sadly overlooked, once again due to it not showing up in Steam's new releases section due to adding the Linux version later. Lucius II has a unique twist where you play the bad guy and wreak havoc as the son of the devil.

Today I decided to have a glass of man-up juice and actually play Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh. It's quite an experience.

Layers of Fear is a really cool idea for a horror game, where you take control over an insane painter in his quest to finish his magnum opus.

Quite a lot of choice for horror games now, and our new addition to the family is Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh.

The Park is a rather good looking horror game that looks like it may be coming to Linux. It's another game from Funcom, so it looks like they are swaying towards more Linux support for their games.

Alien: Isolation has officially been released for Linux, and continues our trend of great AAA games. I would recommend playing this from behind a pillow, with emergency pants nearby.

Syndrome is a pretty fancy looking survival horror, the trailer has my interest, but will it actually be any good?

Noct is a game I'm really excited about trying, as it's a pretty unique take on the survival genre and it looks freaky. It is going to officially release on November 22nd.

Earlier I had some time to sit down and play through nearly two hours of SOMA, the new horror game from Frictional Games and these are my initial thoughts.
