Horror puzzle games on Steam page 2 of 4

163 horror puzzle games on Steam, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Solving puzzles is a main way to play and to progress: codes, mechanisms, item combinations or logic, not just finding a key on the floor. A horror game with an occasional lock or lever puzzle between fights does not count.
