Surreal horror games on Steam page 2 of 2

76 surreal horror games on Steam, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Its world follows dream or nightmare logic as a main part of the horror: impossible spaces, places and people that shift or make no sense, abstract or symbolic imagery the player moves through. A game with one dream sequence or hallucination in an otherwise ordinary world does not count.
