House of Empty Names absolutely nailed what so many horror games get wrong.
A lot of games in this genre turn into straight-up hiding simulators… the killer is constantly on you, forcing you to sit in lockers more than actually play the game. But this one does it differently—and it makes all the difference.
The killer in House of Empty Names doesn’t just magically track you down. He roams the house naturally, which means the tension never drops. At any moment, he could be right around the corner while you’re searching for items or solving puzzles—and that unpredictability keeps you on edge the entire time.
The puzzles were solid, the atmosphere was on point, and the visuals really pulled everything together. This is how you build tension without overdoing it.
If you’re into indie horror, this one is 100% worth checking out.
