About horror games
Browser horror games lean on atmosphere: dark corridors, limited light, something following you. Most are escape or survival games rather than gore, with keys to find and doors to open while you avoid whatever is in the building.
Play with the sound on, because audio cues often warn you first. Learn the layout on your first attempt, and keep track of where the exits are.
