Psychological Horror is a subgenre of Horror that aims at creating horrific, paranoiac, suspenseful or unsettling effects through in-depth use of mental and emotional states or psychological conditions. This may involve replacing physical threats with psychological ones (e.g. madness, hallucinations), thorough exploration of the mind of the disturbed, mentally ill, or unreliable protagonists (including the bad guys/Monster of the Week), replacing overt displays of horror (monsters, deformed killers) by more subtle, creepy details and an eerie mood or atmosphere that play on the audience's fears. Often overlaps with Surreal Horror. Often works hand in hand with Nothing Is Scarier, Mind Screw, and Through the Eyes of Madness. Due to the nature of this form of horror, it is usually Nightmare Fuel. This subgenre is particularly common in Japanese horror, or "J-Horror". See also Psychological Thriller and Psychosexual Horror. |

Cooking Companions, openly inspired by works such as P.T. and Doki Doki Literature Club as well as actual Eastern European folklore, is a Dating Sim with cutesy mascots that inevitably leads to ominous dread, as the cast is trapped in the mountains with dwindling supplies and there's No Party Like a Donner Party. | |

Tokyo Ghoul borrows heavily from the works of Franz Kafka and Carl Jung, often dealing with realistic portrayals of madness and trauma. In particular, the series explores the heavy toll events take on Kaneki's sanity and the coping mechanisms that Ghouls adopt to deal with having to kill and eat humans to survive. | |

The Thing (1982). Although it's a gory monster movie, it still manages to be this on account of the fact the titular monster can assimilate and imitate other lifeforms near-perfectly. A large part of the horror comes from the dwindling group of protagonists not being certain who of them is the Thing and starting to turn on each other. | |

In Hellraiser: Inferno, the gore and Pinhead and the Cenobites' presence is toned down considerably. The horror focuses instead on the psychological descent of a flawed character subjected to nightmarish visions and seeing his reality crumble around him. | |

Imscared toys with the player in a very interesting way of immersion; the game torments you with the prospect that the game's villain is a real entity, and is actively playing around with your computer by downloading text files pretending it's a computer virus.

One of the reasons why the original Operation Flashpoint and its current successor ARMA are praised for their realism is how they not only accurately portray the tech and tactics employed on a modern battlefield, but also the tension, paranoia and uncompromising unpredictability of military operations. Compared to most other military games, which are usually action-pumped thrill rides with lots of loud set pieces, these titles have the player experiencing almost unbearable tension while moving through enemy territory. The enemies can be well hidden, may already know of your position, may be already surrounding you stealthily and killing you before you even manage to register them and realize your grave mistake. And don't even get us started on situations like being Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, completely out of ammo and hiding in the bushes, because heavily armed brigades of soldiers and vehicles are combing the whole area. All of this goes hand in hand with the horror occurring commonly during missions set in broad daylight. | |

Eternal Darkness, especially since one of the three traits in the game is Sanity, alongside vitality and Mana. Not only are you dealing with enemies that defy common logic, they are purposefully distorting your perception of reality. If you beat them they're gone and not only will you be trying to describe something that sounds insane, you probably are insane. Even if the psychological tricks don't scare you, let that sanity bar run out and your vitality will quickly go down the drain. | |

Alice: Madness Returns, sequel to American McGee's Alice carries on the tradition, adding overhearing but not knowing to stop the rape of her sister to her list of guilts. Unlike the first game, parts of the plot take place in the real world, which then hammer in the horror as the two realms start to bleed together. | |

Jim's Computer takes advantage of humanity's paranoia, as it abuses it to its fullest by making the player look through closets late at night each time, increasing tension that one night, something will be inside. It doesn't help that the game has a subplot of multiple people going missing over short periods of time, a nameless stranger with no profile picture messaging you randomly, the visual and auditory hallucinations, a mysterious black square, and Jim expressing his own paranoia that someone is inside his house, and saying that he feels safe again each time you finish checking the closets. All of these things make the player wonder that maybe Jim is right, that maybe something supernatural and malevolent is randomly opening and closing the door and turning on the TV late at night, and hiding in one of the closets as they do it. | |

Homestuck delves into this around the middle of Act 5 when Gamzee goes sober and starts killing off the characters, which had already started dying by Eridan and Vriska earlier. Probably the creepiest part is a flash in which, after seeing a few scenes of Nepeta and Equius talking adorably to one another, the reader is forced to play as the both of them and lead them through a dark, deserted lab as ominous music riddled with honks slowly grows louder. The worst part is that, unlike in a video game, the 'player' has no choice - they know the story depends on the two characters moving towards the threat, so unless they just stop reading altogether (which doesn't solve the problem as of course the story continues on regardless) they can't continue any other way than by leading these beloved, oblivious characters to what is likely their doom. And indeed it is. | |

Kamen Rider Build explores the depersonalization (even dehumanization at some points) that the Amnesiac Hero Sento Kiryu feels because his identity is haphazardly stitched together from leftover muscle memory and a single year's worth of memories. It only gets worse from here when he finds evidence saying that he has murdered a man, something he would have never done as he is now. And that's before it turns out he is said man and the whole murder scheme was set up to make him disappear and be reused as Unwitting Pawn. The revelations keep on piling up and eventually drive him to suicide. | |

Echo starts off feeling like a subdued college flick that contains an air of realism. We then get a clearer picture of the cast; they are all troubled individuals bound by a traumatic moment in time, the drowning of their childhood friend. The problem is that the Psychological Torment Zone they're in reflects those personal demons back at the cast and shows us how terrifying they can be when left unaddressed. Addressing issues such as mental illness, toxic relationships, personal identity, and freedom, Echo is a story about breaking cycles and overcoming personal demons. Or it can be a story about succumbing to those very same demons depending on your choices. | |

Alien Abduction Role Play has this in spades. The plot concerns that of an alien who is tending to her human test subject, and she bluntly expresses her desire to eat the human protagonist to their face, licking them and tasting them. While she does warm up to the human and fall in love with them, her irrational desire to eat them does not go away, and she slowly becomes more and more unhinged as the series progresses. It becomes clear that this behavior is very abnormal, even for her, and that she was normally very reasonable and nice before encountering the human. | |

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in particular relies on psychological horror, since it prefers to downplay the "survival" element. Especially with the reveal that the entire game was literally taking place in one character's mind in response to attempt psychological therapy. | |

The Path explores the psyches of a family of sisters by sending them one by one to Grandmother's house— and forces you to disobey and send them into danger by straying from the titular path in order to progress in the game. The eerie ambiance of the forest, the Jigsaw Puzzle Plot wherein you discover each girl's personality by the scraps of her thoughts you see when she interacts with objects, and especially the abstract "wolf encounters" and the twisted state of Grandmother's house afterwards place it firmly here. | |

In The Facts in the Case of Mister Hollow An Occult Detective investigating a Mystery Cult has to slowly piece together the larger, sinister context in which a Spooky Photograph was taken, communicated by small details present in the photo itself, building to a conclusion that is either symbolic of the investigator's epiphany, or an explicit paranormal manifestation. | |

Metro 2033 is a first person shooter, but while it has gunfights against bandits, mutants, and Neo-Nazis and/or Communists, those are brief levels of heart-pounding adrenaline between long stretches of isolation, unexplained but explicitly supernatural horrors such as ghosts and 'anomalies', and a growing sense of gloomy, claustrophobic despair in the tunnels that manages to evolve into agoraphobic paranoia when Artyom is in the open on the surface. Worst of all are some of the completely unexplained instances of blatant and lethal Mind Screw that defy explanation — the less said about the Dark Ones, the better. It's saying something when it's comforting to have a level with Nazis to shoot at, versus the game's alternatives | |

Gunnerkrigg Court: The comic dips into this any time Zimmy shows up. Her perception of the world is very abnormal—and she has Reality Warper Power Incontinence. So when the focus switches to Zimmy, bizarre, dreamlike events are quick to follow. It's never entirely clear how much of this is real and how much is hallucination... or how much is a hallucination that's becoming real. A non-Zimmy example happens in the chapter "A Ghost Story". Annie has to counsel a ghost—and since the ghost doesn't realize he's dead, he unintentionally creates a shared hallucination that symbolizes an event from his old life. |

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs focuses much more on the psychological than the survival, as many would say to its detriment, with a deep look into madness, social and mental degradation, eerie environments, and a truly horrific reveal of Amnesiac Dissonance: your player character, in a fit of insanity and possibly Demonic Possession, created a sentient Nightmarish Factory designed to industrialize the process of Human Sacrifice, butchering all of humanity to turn them into food and grotesque Pig Men. | |

Black Mirror: "Playtest" uses a version of this personal to the protagonist. Cooper watched his father succumb to Alzheimer's before the events of the episode, and he went travelling across the world to gather as many happy memories as he could, while he still could. The full-immersion horror game he volunteers to try out for a quick cash injection starts out with tame enough Jump Scares but eventually graduates into this, tormenting him with losing his memory and ending up "just like [his] dad". Then the game throws him a Hope Spot only to present him with the reveal that his mother has contracted Alzheimer's in his absence and she doesn't even recognize him when he returns home. Then it turns out the game never even started and poor Cooper actually died from the system crashing while it was booting up, and the harrowing events of the mansion were all in his head as his brain shut down. You know what they say about your life flashing before your eyes... | |

Division by Zero never lets its readers forget that no matter how strong the characters are (with most, if not all the cast capable of destroying planets as a baseline), the mind is a fragile thing. Emotional and psychological vulnerabilities and primal survival are a constant in its narration. Fear of death, fear of life, fear of failure—it doesn’t pull punches. Early on the protagonist deals with a deeply traumatic event, an identification too close to home, two haunting questions: Will they ever recover? Can they ever recover? It does not shy away from suicide and we are walked through it, thoughts and all, attempt after attempt, each time raw and visceral. It is both profound and unnerving all at once, children mercilessly thrown into a cosmic war they have no business fighting—they can barely take care of themselves. It promises the gritty details into an inevitable descent into insanity (or several), and the plummeting feeling of jumping from gut-wrenching heights, and that is to say nothing of the Eldritch Horror of it all. | |

Masters of Horror: "Sounds Like" is probably one of the creepier episodes due to the slow-paced source of the horror.

The Caretaker is an ambient musician known for exploring the human memory, particularly dementia. His most famous project, Everywhere at the End of Time, is a six-hour-long album best described as the sonic equivalent of losing one's mind, starting with staticky versions of old show tunes and ending with an incomprehensible mess. | |

The current trope image comes from Black Swan, a story by Darren Aronofsky that follows a balerina (played by Natalie Portman) training to land an elusive role of the White and Black Swan in Swan Lake. Things go downhill from there as the effort to portray the polar opposites and the need to outdo her competition start to chip away at her sanity. | |

You'd be surprised but a lot of this is found in the supposedly kid-friendly Infinity Train: Blossomverse. Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail initially starts off as a girl trying to find herself along with a dog and living book. By Arc 2, the psychological horror creeps in when there's a car based off Silent Hill along with one chapter that is essentially a Nightmare Sequence that causes one character (age 10) to be thrown into a suicide ward. Its prequel, Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily also doesn't start off with psychological horror until the fourth car and it's home to extensive brainwashing, Alternate Identity Amnesia and set in a car that has no day/night cycle. Oh and it also has a focus on Silent Hill which somehow ends up being darker than Blossoming Trail. |

Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk and its sequel Milk outside a bag of milk outside a bag of milk: Both games follow an unnamed girl with severe mental illness trying to go about her day. The first game is about her going to the store to buy milk and the sequel is about her trying to go to bed when she gets home. Both games feature strange and at times creepy imagery, but the actual horror of the games comes from the very honest message it has about living with mental illness. There is no easy, magical solution to your problems. You can't escape from your own mind, and sometimes the most you can do is to try to get through each day, even if that can seem impossible. | |

Doctor Who: "Midnight", by Russell T. Davies, uses a combination of Primal Fear and Paranoia Fuel to turn the act of simply repeating sentences into terrifying conversations. Steven Moffat's take on the show plays with ideas of madness, and things you think you saw from the corner of your eye. On the one hand, no, you're not going mad; on the other hand, yes, these things are real, and they are out to get you. "The God Complex", by Toby Whithouse, includes a monster that strips away your faith — not just religious faith, but faith in anything — and feeds off of it. |

Paranoiac is this overlapped with Survival Horror, with grief and mental illness playing large roles in the plot. After moving into her late aunt's house, Miki finds herself being stalked by a monster every night, along with other strange and spooky occurrences, but it soon becomes obvious the underlying conflict is around Miki battling with depression and guilt over her aunt's death. It's even suggested that the monster may not actually be real; real or not, it's implied to represent Miki's inner turmoil and struggle. | |

Dead Space is more of an Action Survival Horror mixture, but the copious use of insanity, both in the player character and in the world around them, vivid and terrifying hallucinations, and recordings of the slow descent of the world into madness before you arrived.

Doki Doki Literature Club! is a seemingly cheery, innocent Dating Sim that is nevertheless prefixed with a Content Warning about disturbing content. The game turns out to be just as much about real-life issues such as Self-Harm, Abusive Parents and depression as it is an existential horror about a Dating Sim character gaining Medium Awareness and struggling to cope to being a fictional character before rewriting and corrupting the game around her so that she can be with the player. | |

The 2018 reboot of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power features this, especially in season 4. "Hero" reveals why Razz seems senile. She's being shunted back and forth between two different time periods at random moments. She gets confused as to what time period she's in and whether she's talking to Adora or Mara. Her disorientation at being toggled between two different time periods can be interpreted as an allegory for dementia. Beast Island, the island to which the Horde exiles powerful enemies and screw-ups, wears away visitors' willpower by preying on their deepest pain and insecurities. Vines then absorb visitors who have lost the will to resist. Horde Prime uses mind control to deny his clones free will, personalities, and even names. He's capable of entering their minds and probing their most intimate memories. Most frightening of all, he can perform a mind-wipe on any of his clones, as he does to Hordak at the end of season 4. |

Sofia?: The game starts innocuously enough; you play as a man, Crow, on a date with his partner Fio, but things take a turn for the worse as Crow witnesses the murder of Fio the same night. After that night, Crow is locked in what seems to be a "Groundhog Day" Loop where he has to relive Fio being killed again and again, but there seems to be something much more sinister going on under the surface as Crow investigates every avenue and relives the torment of Fio's death. | |

Amnesia: The Dark Descent makes extensive use of dark, ominous atmospheres, a Sanity Meter effect that causes the world around you to visually change and morph for the horrifying as you slip, and the feeling of being constantly stalked by horrific, once-human abominations (which you are) to great effect. Perhaps the kicker is The Reveal which strips away the hinted Amnesiac Dissonance: your player character was a sadistic monster who tortured and murdered innocent people to save himself from an Eldritch Abomination chasing him down, only to come to a Heel Realization and drink a memory-wiping potion to expunge the guilt of his crimes. | |

My Sweet Audrina is a gothic novel in which most of the suspense is derived from how Audrina's Big, Screwed-Up Family interact with one another and Audrina's psychological issues stemming from her family's extreme sheltering of her and growing up in the shadow of her beloved older sister who met a terrible end. It's famous for its plot twist of Audrina and her 'sister' being the same person, with her family having manipulated her for years in an attempt to 'cure' her trauma. | |

Spec Ops: The Line is a curious example of the trope. It opens much like any other modern military shooter, but about halfway through the game (after the protagonists unwittingly burn forty-seven innocent civilians to death with white phosphorous rounds) it starts to take on more and more elements of psychological horror, including surreal, horrific imagery, hallucinations etc. | |

House Beneviento in Resident Evil Village takes this tone compared to the rest of the game, as protagonist Ethan Winters finds himself stripped of his items and is tormented with images, apparitions, and anguished recordings of his wife. This reaches its peak when Ethan finds himself being pursued by a horrific giant baby monster that cannot be fought in any way. Even the boss fight is a rush to find a doll hiding among the other toys rather than the action formula of other bosses, making the house feel more supernatural and ambiguously real, like a mind trip that's deeply personal to Ethan's fears. Indeed, Donna Beneviento, who presides over the house, is revealed to use hallucinogenic powers to torture her victims rather than brute force, and is playing on Ethan's fears after the shooting of his wife and his concerns about his baby's normalcy. | |
