Top 10 Darkest Video Games Ever (2 of 6)

SOMA

Are you afraid of the deep ocean? Well, you should be. Imagine being stuck in an underwater facility at the bottom of the sea with zero food, no radio, and all the robots think they’re humans. SOMA is less about jump scares and more about creeping existential horror. It’s about identity, mortality, and what it means to even be human. The oppressive setting of PATHOS-II and the philosophical gut punches make this one unforgettable. And that ending (at least one of them), can really tear you down if you’re not ready for the truth.

What Remains of Edith Finch

Okay, if you’ve played this one, you may call it a walking simulator, sure. But it’s also a deeply emotional journey through the Finch family home, where every room tells the story of a family member’s life and/or death. The game’s vignettes range from whimsical to gut-wrenching, all wrapped in stunning visuals. It’s haunting without needing monsters; the darkness here comes from human tragedy, and it’s phenomenal.
