Horror visual novels on Xbox

6 horror visual novels on Xbox, each with a page on what frightens and a link to where it is sold. The story is told mainly through text over character art and backgrounds, as a visual novel or sound novel, with reading and choices as the main way to play. A horror game with some dialogue scenes between exploration, puzzles or fights is not one.
