Survival horror games are popular among people who love to tickle their nerves. The main goal of horror games is to create an atmosphere of horror, anxiety and loneliness. The player's capabilities in battles and in means of destroying the enemy are severely limited. As a rule, users, making their way through frightening labyrinthine worlds, have to avoid direct encounters with enemies, looking for ways to safely move on.
In the survival horror genre, in addition to high-budget blockbusters from major publishers, there are original games from independent developers related to the indie horror genre.
