is an adventure title set in a dark fairytale world stuck between life and death. You are tasked with altering this limbo by feeding an all-powerful plant, the Fate Birch, various liquids.

While it’s less outright frightening than most entries on this list, it remains unsettling thanks to its nightmare logic turns. At one point, you come across a forest blanketed in orange leaves, shafts of light poking between foliage as an uncharacteristically harmonious piano piece plays. It’s scenic until the background music suddenly breaks into a discordant melody that shatters any feeling of peace.
While some horror games are passive, this experience is unnerving because it puts you in control of the sub’s fate. Using nothing but a poorly constructed map of trench formations, the coordinate readouts on your ship, and a vague sonar that beeps if you approach a cave wall, you must navigate blindly through winding tunnels to take pictures of nine locations. If there was ever a game that simulated the first day at a new job, this is it.
