Games Like One Halloween Night
If you finished One Halloween Night and want more of the same, home alone at night with a stranger getting a little too close, these seven PC horror games are the best next picks. We start with the closest match, and the first one is free.
Quick list
| Game | Price | Best if you liked… |
|---|---|---|
| Fears to Fathom – Home Alone | Free | The closest match, and free. |
| Fears to Fathom – Norwood Hitchhike | Paid | The same realistic, slow-burn style as Home Alone, if you want another hour of "this could really happen" horror. |
| That's not my Neighbor | Paid (low price) | If the best part for you was nervously opening the door to strange visitors, this whole game is that feeling. |
| Home Safety Hotline | Paid | Ordinary houses that slowly stop feeling safe, with a retro feel and dread instead of non-stop chases. |
| [Chilla's Art] The Closing Shift | Paid | Another short, first-person story about one ordinary night going wrong, with the same VHS-style picture. |
| Murder House | Paid | For when you want the intruder part turned all the way up: you are stalked through a house by a killer. |
| Halloween: The Game | Paid (full price) | The big-budget option if you want a full Halloween night of horror rather than a 25-minute short. |
