I prefer psychological horror over jumpscares by a long shot, so my recommendations are a bit slower than what people may recommend, but if it strikes your and your wife’s fancy, here are them:
Dreaming Sarah, Wishing Sarah, Tanglewood, Parasite Eve, Wake Up (by Philosophic Games), UNLOVED, The Corruption Within.

Alien isolation stressed me out. For fun, run monster bash on an emulator.

No one has mentioned Phasmophonia yet so I’ll throw that in the ring

If you’re looking for a more schlocky horror experience, give Resident Evil 8 a try! Extremely fun to play with a story that would be kinda ‘eh’ if the performances didn’t elevate it to cult-following b-movie perfection.

Subnautica would be a good game to transition from the end of summer to the beginning of fall. Spooky atmosphere where you play (almost) entirely underwater.

Crow Country came out earlier this year and definitely capitalizes on PS1 era horror games. In that vein also, Signalis is an excellent cerebral sci-fi horror.

Alien Isolation. Resident Evil 7. If you can do either/both in VR, DO IT.

  • Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition - the undisputable best way to play Silent Hill 2
  • Dead by Daylight is horror themed, just don’t interact with the highly toxic community
  • Resident Evil HD is the best way to play Resident Evil
  • Project Zomboid - you either quit in 15 minutes, or you rack up thousands of hours, there is no inbetween
  • The Forest and Sons of the Forest

My wife is playing bendy and the dark revival. I’m going to have her play amnesia next.

I really love Visage. Costume Quest is a cozy rpg.

Costume Quest

Just what I came here for! Not spooky, but entirely Halloween themed. I beat the first, but never got around to playing much of the second. A pretty simple turn based RPG, but the costumes you put on your party become the actual thing they are in battle. Very cute and fun games

Little Nightmares 1 & 2 get my vote. Also, Alan Wake 2 is a lot of fun and not exactly a horror game since it doesn’t take itself seriously, but it has a fantastic spooky vibe.

Horror comedies are definitely a thing, but tbh I’d still consider Alan Wake 2 an outright horror even with the lighter stuff! Very spooky elements, with great writing and story crafting. Bonus points if you play Remedy’s other games for the Easter eggs

Soma, Stasis (and the other games in the series), Observer, Observation

I still really enjoy Phasmophobia and all the games which came out after that have similar mechanics/gameplay. The Dark Pictures games are all really great experiences. There’s also indie games like Little Nightmares and Dredge! Alan Wake, Outlast, Still Wakes the Deep… Honestly there’s been so many amazing ones which have come out. For days/nights where you want a lighter experience, the Observation Duty type games can be fun!

Supermassive games like Until Dawn, The Quarry, and the Dark Pictures are great for this, especially since later iterations have built-in “pass the controller” modes that are great for sharing a game with your spouse.

TheBraveSirRobbin OP ,

Played Until Dawn, that was a fun one will need to look into the other 2

They’re all the same format, but The Dark Pictures is an anthology of games that are about half the size of Until Dawn. There are 5 or 6 of them at this point.

None of the others are as good as Until Dawn, imo, unfortunately :(

I keep hoping, but no joy every time
