Stealth horror games on itch.io

13 stealth horror games on itch.io, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Avoiding a threat by staying unseen or unheard is a main way to play: hiding, sneaking past, listening and evading a stalker or monster, usually one you cannot fight or should not. A game with one optional stealth section, or a shooter where sneaking is only a way to get a better shot, is not one.
