Indie horror games have surged in popularity, and 2025 has seen some truly remarkable titles that deserve your attention. With advancements in technology making game development more accessible, we are indeed living in a golden age for indie creators. This year, several indie horror games have emerged that not only push the boundaries of storytelling and gameplay but also offer unique experiences that you might have overlooked. From the psychological depths of “BrokenLore: Dont Watch” to the whimsical yet chilling atmosphere of “Riddlewood Manor,” these games showcase the diversity and creativity within the indie horror genre.

A new video game based on the iconic Friday the 13th franchise is officially in development, stirring excitement among fans of horror and gaming alike. During a recent San Diego Comic-Con panel, Robert Barsamian, executive vice president at Horror Inc, confirmed that both a sequel game and a new movie are on the horizon, marking a significant return for the franchise that has been dormant for years. While details remain scarce, Barsamian hinted that the upcoming game may not be a direct follow-up to the 2017 title, Friday the 13th: The Game, which was pulled from sale after its licensing expired.
