Left 4 Dead 2
The Dark Carnival campaign takes the survivors through a carnival full of infected.
PC / Linux
Horror games set in theme parks, carnivals and fairgrounds. You walk past shut ticket booths, ride stalled carousels and wander under dark Ferris wheels, often after closing time or years after the park was abandoned. Painted mascots, clown-face gates and cheerful music played to empty paths turn a place built for fun into something that watches you.
