If you analyze the best online games that have been released in the past few years, it becomes obvious: most developers stubbornly deprive fans of such genres as horror and survival. Obviously, this format is not particularly in demand today.
However, it would be wrong to say that such projects are not created at all. They are, and even very worthy, but they are very few. And, as a result, they are known only to a few, which is highly undesirable for online resources tailored for a mass game. Therefore, in order to correct the situation at least a little, today we decided to tell you about the best online horror movies of our time.
"Damned" - "Outlast" in real time
The first online game that we would like to tell you about belongs not only to the horror genre, but also to the category of survival (survival). It is called "Damned", which can be translated into Russian as "Damned". The project, which can be purchased on Steam, is rather unusual. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the player can become both a victim and a monster. Of course, this is not the only project with such a concept, but today there are very few of them.
The plot is partly similar to the legendary "Outlast", in which a journalist, having received an anonymous letter, decides to check a local mental hospital for ill-treatment of patients. Of all the possible equipment he takes with him only a video camera, which serves him, including a light source. Here, the players (a team of 4 people) immediately find themselves in a locked house (hospital / hotel, etc.) and must ransack it properly to get out. And in their arsenal, as it is not difficult to guess, only pocket flashlights. They will be prevented from escaping by the fifth player, transformed into one of the well-known monsters: Lurker, Mary, Phantom or Fallen.
"Dead Realm" - hide, run or die
Although this game appeared on the virtual network relatively recently - in early August 2015, it has already managed to acquire hundreds of thousands of fans around the world. The secret of success is simple: the developers managed to turn an innocent game of hide and seek into a real struggle for survival. With the plot of this cooperative horror, the creators decided not to be too smart. We took a classic gloomy mansion with a bloody history, a group of young people who just need to spend a night in it and ghosts (which can be without them) - restless souls of people who were killed by the previous owner of the mansion and now want only one thing - revenge.
The size of the mansion is huge, respectively, the number of hiding places and secrets in it is countless. Therefore, it will not be so easy to complete the side quests from the "find-bring" series. Whether people will be able to survive this night or new souls will enter the number of permanent inhabitants of the mansion will depend only on the players themselves. At the moment, the project, which, like the previous game, can be found on Steam, is at the early access stage. This means that each player can set his own direction for its development.
No More Room in Hell
This online project can rightfully claim to be a veteran of the genre, because its development began more than 10 years ago (although it appeared to the world only in 2011). For 4 years now, the game that lives on Steam has won dozens of awards and thousands of fans around the world. As the experts emphasize, the realism of events favorably distinguishes it among the fellow survival horror.The heroes here are ordinary people who have neither super-techniques, nor magic wands, nor an endless supply of weapons. They don't have time to collect trash or explore the area. All they need is to hold out. After all, it is not known how soon help will arrive, and indeed whether it will arrive.
The developers took into account that people are already tired of the high-speed "meat" that can be killed literally with one blow. And that's why zombies in NMRIH are classic tanks with huge health reserves and very slow speeds. Someone may think that this is too simple, they say, keep the dead at a distance, and everything will be fine. However, if you find yourself trapped in a dead end by a crowd of half-decayed corpses slowly approaching you, and only a faithful mount will be in your hands from a weapon, believe me, the atmosphere will heat up in literally seconds.
But there are also funny moments in the game, for example, you can not only crush the skulls of enemies with a hammer, but also hammer in nails, and some zombies thrown by the player perform such somersaults that even experienced stuntmen could not dream of.
On this optimistic note, we conclude our review and remind you that a lot of games are released every year. It is almost impossible to keep track of all of them, and it is quite possible to miss something worthy among dozens of "prowlers". Therefore, it will never be superfluous to visit game portals and study those articles and reviews that are presented on them.
