Psychological horror games on Xbox page 2 of 2

85 psychological horror games on Xbox, 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.
