forgottenmonstersForgotten Memories: Alternate Realities is a classic survival horror game that – we suppose very much intentionally – pays homage to the legendary Silent Hill-series. The game features a deep psychological storyline with plenty of unexpected twists and even more horrific monsters, atmospheric environments, beautiful 3D graphics, challenging gameplay, convenient touch controls, no in-app purchases (praise the Lord of Monsters!), and A-plus voice acting. As for the story, Forgotten Memories puts you into the shoes of Rose Hawkins, a strong, independent woman looking for a missing child called Eden (symbol alert!). When Rose regains consciousness, she founds herself in an eerie place, physically wounded and emotionally scarred. After the initial shock, she realizes that she has no choice but to face her deepest fears waiting for her in this godforsaken place in order to finish her investigation and put an end to this terrifying case.

Blending the most typical characteristics of survival horror games and adventures games, Lost Within brings you blood-freezing monster-slashing action and a dark mystery waiting for you to uncover. The game set in no less than a haunted asylum where you have to fight for your life with makeshift weapons, fending off the attacks of gruesome monsters and ultimately face a legendary killer lurking around in the abandoned wards. Lost Within is not the type of game where you can go all out in your approach to decimating monster, so you must never forget that there’s no shame in either hiding or running – especially when your life is on the line.

Tormentum features 75 haint-painted locations spread out over 3 distinctively different realms bursting with otherworldly architecture and strange creatures, brain-straining puzzles and mini-games, tough moral choices that will affect the way the game ends, 4-6 hours of gameplay, and an outstanding tracks made up of over 40 tracks. Tormentum costs $4.99, but if you’re a fan of surreal art, point-and-click games, grotesque monsters, and unique fantasy stories, it will definitely be money well spent.

theschoolwhitedayThe School: White Day is the remake of “White Day: A Labyrinth Named School”, a PC game released in 2001 that gained a cult-like following all around the world from South Korea to the United Kingdom. This unconventional teenage horror story is set in Yeondu High School, an educational institution we’d never, in a million years, be willing to attend, as it is surrounded by mysteries and spine-chilling legends. The protagonist, Hui-min, is one of the hundreds of students attending Yeondu, but what makes Hui-min and a few of her friends special is that one day, they find themselves trapped in the school way after nightfall, when ghosts, possessed janitors, and other unspeakable horrors lurk in the abandoned corridors. Unlike in the majority of survival horror games, there’s little to no violence and gore in The School: White Day. There are no guns, knives, grenades, or makeshift weapons with which you could squash the skulls of the inhuman beings trying to take your life. All you have is your nimble feet, so if you see something unnatural, do what any normal human being would do when their survival instincts kicked in: run! Thanks to its rich storyline and a variety of possible endings, The School: White Day offers a high replay value rarely seen in mobile games.

If you thought this compilation would go by without two of pop culture’s most famous space marine-eviscerating monsters being mentioned, you were dead wrong, and furthermore, that’s crazier than thinking you can defeat a Predator in an all-out one-on-one fight. AVP: Evolution drops you right into the middle of a rivalry more brutal than Lakers-Celtics was in the 1980s, allowing you to choose sides. If you decide to play as a Predator, your mission will be to hunt down the mighty Alien Queen in order to stop the Super Predators from wiping out your clan of Jungle Hunter Predators. As for the Alien storyline, the objective is somewhat similar, and its gist lies in destroying the Super Predators and ultimately freeing your species from enslavement. Thanks to unique abilities, attacks, and weapons, both species offer a completely different gaming experience, so even if you’re strictly Team Alien or Team Predator, not giving each single player campaign a try is a punishable offense.
