Psychological horror games on Steam page 5 of 6

260 psychological horror games on Steam, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. The fear comes mainly from the mind: dread, unreliable perception, guilt, isolation or a reality that comes apart, rather than from fighting monsters. A game with one such scene in an action game does not count.
