2D horror games in your browser

46 2d horror games in your browser, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Played in two dimensions: the player moves through a side-view or top-down world drawn in 2D (pixel art or hand-drawn), as in Darkwood, Ib or Limbo. A 3D game seen from the side (2.5D, like Little Nightmares) does not count, nor does a visual novel whose play is mainly reading text.
