Outlast

Outlast is the quintessential 'run and hide' horror game. Set in a remote asylum, players must navigate the dark corridors using only a camcorder with night vision. The game is relentless, forcing players to constantly flee from terrifying enemies they cannot fight. It is a high-octane experience that relies on jump scares and intense chase sequences.

While it lacks the mechanical depth of some other titles on this list, its commitment to pure, unadulterated terror makes it a classic of the genre. It is a must-play for those who want a fast-paced, heart-pounding experience.
