Ever since i played the very first Alone in the Dark game, i have been obsessed with horror games. Because they give me kicks. But as we all know, the horror genre has been dead for quite some time now.

Thankfully enough though, more and more horror games has started to show up on the indie scene.

One particular game that caught my eye today. Was/are the free-to-play horror/adventure game “Niveus“. Because it made me think of a mix of Silent Hill, Alan Wake and Alone in the dark. So if you wanna play a really good horror game.

Then give Niveus a try!

About Niveus:
A man misteryously vanishes from the woods where he lives in a solitary cabin. An ambitious police officer sets to investigate the case, thinking only of glory. Rumors of monsters lurking in the snow fill the pages of the local newspaper. Will the officer raise in rank, or be forever forgotten from this world?
