Posted by Guest Staff

There are a lot of scary games on the Google play store. Some of them are downright terrifying, while others are not scary at all. Here we are going to list the scariest games on Android and what makes them better than the rest of games out there in the wild. These games offer everything from witches to zombies. They also offer the guns and magic to take out the bosses that wish to devour your character in a most gruesome manner. So, without further ado, here is our list of top scary games on Google play.

Top Best Scariest Games on Google Play:

Elder Sign: 

Omen is a fantastic scary game. It is a H.P. Lovecraft feeling that offers striking visuals and sound effects. In Elder Signs: Omen, players will enter into a museum. Once inside, the players find themselves in a whole lot of trouble from the many arcane exhibits that are being featured. The player must rally a team around them to help fend off the nightmares which now haunt the museum. The game plays on a dice roll basis, making luck as valuable an attribute as any other skill that the player possesses. The game is streamlined from the board game look and feel that it tries to mimic, and the map is interactive, making it easier for the player to make choices. The graphics are eerie and haunting, adding just the right amount of chills to help flesh out the mood. Elder Signs: Omen is developed by Fantasy Flight Games  and is on sale for $3.99.

Into the Dead:

Into the Dead is the ultimate Zombie survival game on android devices. At the beginning of the game, players find themselves in the middle of the woods, surrounded by Zombies. Armed only with an assault rifle, players have to choose to stand and fight or run for their lives. The game offers the running mechanics found in games like Stickman, but it also offers a first person shooting mechanism, meaning that if you got the ammo, you can make a stand. Otherwise, running is probably the better option. Players will be able to unlock different weapons and items by collecting coins. Coins can be found in the levels or can be awarded at the end of completing a level. The weapons offer a cool visual if done correctly and exploding barrels can take out a horde of Zombies in a most glorious manner. Into the Dead is developed by PikPok Games and is currently free on the Google play store.

The Abandoned School:

The Abandoned School is a point and click game with a healthy side dish of horror. Murder has taken place in the school and it is up to the player to solve the case. The player takes on the role of a student whose girlfriend and brother have been murdered. The game's visuals are extremely striking, creepy, and disturbing as you wander the halls in a starkly contrasting black and white color scheme. The audio is worthy of being played on a home theater setup, so please if you choose to play this game make sure to do it justice by using headphones. The point and click controls will allow the player to interact with the environment and solve puzzles. The game will also make use of tilt controls on a tablet or smartphone to allow the clearing of obstacles and advancement in the game. The further a player advances into the school, the scarier the game becomes. On the app page for the game, the developers have uploaded a small walkthrough that offers tips on how to survive the horror that the school has in store. The Abandoned School is developed by Voolean and is currently free on the Google play store.

Eyes: 

The Horror Game is an indie title that offers up the scares as players are tasked with retrieving bags of cash that have been stashed inside a haunted house. The game seems to be real simple, until you run into the bodiless, bloody ghost head that roams the halls of the house. This game can really get scary, as players move through the house hunting the money, all the while being chased by the ghost. Players who feel like they have gathered enough cash can start to look for the exit. The game has the ability to randomize where the money and helpful items are throughout each play-through. The graphics offer a spooky atmosphere and the sound effects are really well made for such a small budget title. Controls are simple, using tap and touch as well as swipe and tilt. When wandering around the nightmare infested house, players will find useful items like keys, which will open safes as well as spiritual eye that will allow the player to see where the ghost is to try to avoid that area. If a player gets too close to the ghost then it is game over. Eyes: The Horror Game is developed by Paulina Pabis and is free on the play store.

Dark Meadow: 

The Pact is a scary game that is full of a post-apocalyptic world. Players wake in a world where an evil witch has taken over and has sent out her demon spawn to kill the living. Players will use a sword and crossbow to take down the terrors that hunt them. The game starts off inside a hospital, where players are warned about the evil in the world. The gesture controls are very easy to use and the gameplay is engaging. The visuals are some of the best that can be found in the mobile game department, as the game is running on the legendary Unreal Engine 3. Dark Meadow: The Pact is developed by Phospor Game Studio and is free to play on the Google play store.
