Sci-fi and space horror games on Switch

15 sci-fi and space horror games on Switch, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. Set in a science-fiction world (space, a spaceship or station, a future or alien facility) where that setting and its creatures, machines or experiments are the source of the horror. A horror game with one futuristic gadget, or the Backrooms and other liminal spaces, does not count.
