Steam has officially launched its latest Halloween games sale – the Steam Scream Fest – with a range of horror and horror-adjacent games now going dirt cheap. If you’re looking to scare yourself silly this season, there are plenty of excellent games on offer, including terrifying indie hits well worth exploring.
Anything with horror themes has seemingly been included in the sale – The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt makes an appearance, for example – but there’s also a fair range of genuine horror to choose from. You can take yourself on a haunting road trip with Days Gone, genuinely traumatise yourself with titles like Devour and In Silence, or romp through horror power fantasies in Dead by Daylight or Dying Light.
Of the titles on offer, we’ll put in a good word for Gloomwood, the macabre Thief-like from Dillon Rogers, David Szymanski and New Blood Interactive. This adventure is deliciously retro and moody, and features a gothic world that enchants with each turn.

Strangeland, from Wormwood Studios and Wadjet Eye Games, is also a great pick. This classic point-and-point adventure is inspired by grim surrealism, and takes you all the way through a terrifying carnival out to wilder and unfathomable peaks.
