Animal Well

On its face, Animal Well seems like an innocent enough metroidvania gae designed with a Lite-Brite. It doesn’t take long to realize it’s much creepier than that. You play an easily killed blob traversing damp, dark tunnels populated by various creatures that range from silly to terrifying. It has at least two moments that qualify as some of the scariest moments I’ve ever experienced in a game. I’m a wimp, so that’s not saying much. If you want a more subtle horror experience, however, Animal Well is one of the best.
