Garden of Fear ($0.99)

What’s it about? Horror title Garden of Fear puts players in a darkened first-person maze that they have to find their way through, while being hunted by something hidden in the shadows.

What’s cool? Garden of Fear keeps things simple. Players have a flashlight with limited (but recharging) battery, several pieces of charcoal that can be used to mark where they’ve been, and not much else. Your goal is to find the correct door to leave the labyrinth, but each wrong door sends you back to the center – so you’ll have to mark the ones you’ve tried to eliminate them. While you’re finding your way, you’ll have to quickly hide to avoid a creature that can be heard stalking through the dark behind you.

Who’s it for? If you enjoy horror titles, Garden of Fear will put some dread into your iOS game library.
