10. Hello Neighbor
A first-person Indie Horror game from Dynamic Pixels plays with advanced AI to mess with your head. In this survival game, your goal is to find out what secrets your neighbor is hiding in his basement. Stealth is key in this mission as you navigate past his sights one step at a time. With the game's ever-learning AI, learn to outsmart your opponent and be ready to adapt to whatever comes.
It's not exactly spine-chilling adventure but survival in the suspense-packed sequences are a worthy treat. While it's not much of a success on other platforms, Hello Neighbor definitely works well on the mobile platform and it gets a provisional playscore of 8.4
9. The Walking Dead: Season One
This Episodic horror game from Telltale that started it all. Before Telltale’s major collapse in the videogame world, there was this one sweet story about Clementine and her guardian, Lee Everett.

Make difficult choices, meet a memorable cast of characters and do whatever it takes to survive.
You don’t have to love AMC’s TV Show to enjoy this. This self-contained, beautiful story is a hallmark of Telltale’s success, and we’re sad to see Clem’s final journey in the latest Season 4.

5. Eyes - The Horror Game
Just like any other mobile horror games on this list, it doesn’t really present a deep narrative. Paulina & Michał Pabis’ first-person horror title is a scare-fest not for the faint of heart. Players are trapped in a labyrinthine complex filled with mysterious rooms. Throughout the game, the tension rises as players are chased by a demonic entity. As the light flickers or when the TV bursts into static, something is clearly wrong.
Packed with fantastic graphics and immersive atmosphere, this entry receives a provisional playscore of 8.80
