Best horror games in the Steam Summer Sale 2023

These horror games are not only scary but are some of the best discounts you can get during the Steam Summer Sale for 2023.

Demonologist

30% off Demonologist this Steam Summer Sale – a frightfully good deal for $10.49

A new take on the genre pioneered by Phasmophobia, Demonologist features many of the same gameplay elements, but rather than being more of a ‘realistic’ take on the ghost hunter genre, incorporates a lot more of a cinematic horror feel.

The graphics are great, the atmosphere is great, and 1-4 people can enjoy it all simultaneously for a very reasonable price.

Phasmophobia

20% off Phasmophobia this Steam Summer Sale – try not to soil yourself simulator for $11.19

Now with VR support, Phasmophobia is the hugely popular ghost-hunting game that tasks players with exploring a haunted house for evidence of the haunting, whilst not getting got by the big ghouly in the process.

This scary and sometimes hilarious co-op game gets regular updates, including graphical overhauls, and is as popular as ever, not to mention very cheap!

The Outlast Trials

15% off The Outlast Trials this Steam Summer Sale – enjoy a panic attack for $25.49

From the sick people that brought you the previous entries in the Outlast series (all certified horror classics) comes a new tale of horrific human experimentation and insanity that you can now enjoy co-operatively (though you can also play it singleplayer). The Outlast Trials!

Enjoy attempting to navigate a hellish labyrinth of puzzles and traps whilst being stalked by an assortment of homicidal lunatics once again, but this time with those handy night vision goggles surgically inserted into your head!

Dead Space (the remake)

30% off Dead Space this Steam Summer Sale – a dead good deal on an expensive game for $41.99

The Dead Space remaster/remake retains all the same story beats and virtually all the gameplay of the original sci-fi horror classic but with much improved graphics and audio, plus some additional small gameplay improvements.

If you never got a chance to play the original, this is the best way to give yourself a heart attack in space whilst blowing limbs off hordes of disgusting undead horrors before dying in a brutally graphic mini-cinematic.

Sons Of The Forest

20% off Sons Of The Forest this Steam Summer Sale – I can’t see the wood for the deals at $23.99

The sequel to the unique survival game The Forest, Sons of the Forest basically seeks to do everything that titles did, but better. Whilst it’s not a straight horror game, and features many more serene moments and base building craft elements, there’s undoubtedly many disturbing, horrifying, and unsettling moments throughout it.

Enjoy killing tribes people in a morally questionable fashion, fashioning effigies and furniture from their remains, and fighting off horrifically deformed mutants as part of a co-op group or playing solo.
