Our Pick Runner-Up Budget Pick Bonus Pick The Best of the Best, SOMA comes from the creators of the legendary Amnesia games. A close second, Outlast is a terrifying game were you can't fight back, only hide. A cheaper alternative, Layers of Fear is often on sale, sometimes you can even grab it for free! This scary yet action-packed shooter is a remarkable remaster of the beloved BioShock.

⚠️ Fairly Demanding ⚠️ Fairly Demanding ⛔ Very Demanding ✅ Not Demanding 2015 2013 2016 2017 $29.99 $19.99 $19.99 $19.99 84 Metascore 80 Metascore 82 Metascore 96 Metascore. SOMA is the most recent game from, the creators of the Amnesia series. This first-person game takes place in an underwater research facility. It’s Rapture meets the Nostromo, and that’s the best part of the game. The tension comes from the environments here, not the monsters.

But it gets worse: You can’t fight back. You’ll have to hide from the monstrosities that roam the corridors as you explore and discover what happened to all the missing employees. Just like in past Amnesia games, you can interact with everything around you. You can grab door handles, yank cables, move items and more. This creates an incredibly immersive, yet demanding experience. One more thing Similar to Alien: Isolation, this is one good-looking game that will require some chops to run properly.

But with the right hardware, this game can look amazing. SOMA Mac benchmark results (in FPS).

Testing Conditions: We tested the game using Medium settings and 1280×800 resolution: Can your Mac run it? Taking into account that even our 2013 13-inch MacBook Pro handled the game just fine, most Macs from 2013 onwards should be able to handle it.

Any bugs you should be aware of? If your Mac can handle it, you should encounter a bug-free experience. Verdict: ⚠️️ Fairly demanding System Requirements: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i3; 4GB RAM; 25 GB HD space; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, AMD Radeon HD 5750, or better with 512 MB of Video Memory. Many claim is the scariest game that can be played on Mac. Outlast puts you in the shoes of a freelance journalist who decides to investigate a psychiatric hospital lost in the mountains.

That was obviously a bad idea, as hell breaks loose and you find yourself surrounded by homicidal patients. Plus, most of the corridors, rooms, and sewers you’ll navigate are pitch black. The only way to see is by using the low-battery video camera you have on you. But it gets worse: You are completely incapable of combat. With no weapons at your disposal, you will have to be quick on your feet to stay alive. Needless to say, Outlast is a must if you enjoy horror games. One more thing This is a great-looking game too, but unlike others on this list, you won’t need a top of the line Mac to enjoy it.

Outlast Mac benchmark results (in FPS). Layers of Fear is a unique take on the horror genre. There may be no monsters here, but this is still one of the scariest games you can play on your Mac.

In Layers of Fear, you are a painter who has gone mad in his attempt to finish his masterpiece. The entire game takes place in what seems to be an ordinary house. Except it isn’t. You enter a room and turn around, only to see that the door disappeared. Paintings seem to follow you with their eyes.

At some points, you begin to understand what it must feel to go mad. The more you play, the more disturbing this game becomes. You’ll find clues to the horrible things you’ve done and eventually hear and see terrifying specters of the things you used to love. One more thingThis is an unsettling game that also looks great. Did a great job here. Even my MacBook Pro, with its puny Intel Graphics, could handle it. Layers of Fear Mac benchmark results (in FPS).

Testing Conditions: We tested the game using Medium settings and 1280×800 resolution: Can your Mac run it? As you can see from these results, our 2013 13-inch MacBook Pro did ok, squeezing a reasonable 37 FPS. Most Macs from 2016 onwards should be able to handle it, including those with integrated graphics. Any bugs you should be aware of? No bugs were encountered during our tests. Verdict: Very Demanding System Requirements: MacOS 10.10; 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5; 4GB RAM; 5 GB HD space; ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB VRAM, Nvidia GeForce 750M or Intel HD 6100. BioShock Infinite was the top BioShock experience on Mac, but that changed with release. Infinite is in many ways a superior game, but when it comes to scary experiences, BioShock Remastered is the way to go. BioShock is not about jump scares, it’s about immersing you in one of the most desperate places ever.

The game takes place in Rapture, a city full of psychopaths ready to do the most gruesome and terrible things. The gameplay mechanics are great too, making this an extremely fun game to play. And now that the Remastered version supports macOS, you can enjoy improved graphics, better textures, and resolutions up to 5K. One more thing What’s even better, this game is so well optimized, it runs even better than some newer games. Both my iMac and MacBook Pro ran it great, with a lot of power to spare.

BioShock Remastered Mac benchmark results (in FPS). Testing Conditions: We tested the game using Medium settings and 1280×800 resolution: Can your Mac run it? Our 2016 MacBook Pro did so well, it’s clear this is a game most Macs should be able to run. Any bugs you should be aware of? We did encounter a bug when running the game along with our FPS counter tool, but you should be ok when simply running the game by itself.

Verdict: Not Demanding System Requirements: MacOS 10.12.5; 2GHzGhz Intel Core i5; 8 GB RAM; 27 GB HDD space; 2GB NVIDIA 680MX, 2GB AMD R9 M290, 1.5GB Intel Iris Pro 5200. Set fifteen years after Ridley Scott’s original film, sends you on a journey to an abandoned space station.

This probably sounds like a standard Alien-scenario, but Isolation is unlike any other Alien game you’ve ever played before. Isolation is the first game that finally captures the essence of the original film.

This is a game about survival. The monster is to be feared and respected. It can’t be killed. All you can do is run and hide. Luckily, the space station is full of places to hide, including vents, lockers, and cabinets. This means stealth will be your best weapon against the monster.

But can your Mac handle it? This is one of the best horror games on the Mac App Store. It looks amazing and plays smoothly thanks to‘s fine job with the macOS version. That’s great, but good looks usually mean demanding games One more thing This is one great looking game, especially on high settings. But on the other hand, this is a demanding game.

So much so that my MacBook Pro could barely handle it. Alien: Isolation Mac benchmark results (in FPS). Testing Conditions: We tested the game using Medium settings and 1280×800 resolution: Can your Mac run it? This is a demanding game. If you’re willing to play at the lowest settings, you should be able to run it at comfortable FPS even on MacBook Pros, but you better make sure your Mac meets the system requirements before purchasing it.

Any bugs you should be aware of? This is yet another great Mac port from Feral. We never encountered any bugs during our tests. Verdict: Very Demanding System Requirements: MacOS 10.10.4; 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4GB RAM; 35 GB HDD space; NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, ATI Radeon HD 5670, or Intel Iris Pro with 1GB of Video Memory. Horror games are going through a renaissance, largely thanks to Indies.

Outlast and Soma are the more famous examples, but what if you don’t want another first-person game? Since last year, you have this excellent point-and-click indie called STASIS. In STASIS you wake up in a seemingly abandoned spaceship.

There are no signs of survivors, but the bloodstains on the floor make you understand that something went terribly wrong. Turns out human experiments were carried out on the ship, but could not be contained. Monsters lurk in the shadows, but they can’t stop you from trying to find your lost wife and daughter. STASIS is a great indie, but what impresses me the most is how macabre this game can be. It doesn’t need jump scares, the atmosphere does all the work. Point-and-click adventure games weren’t supposed to be this scary. If you want a solid story, interesting puzzles, and a tense atmosphere, look no further than STASIS.

One more thing STASIS is one of those games pretty much anyone can enjoy. The only reason it didn’t run faster is because it’s capped at 60 FPS. STASIS Mac benchmark results (in FPS). Slender: The Eight Pages is a unique take on the horror genre. The game takes place in a dark and scary wood. It gives you a weak flashlight and asks you to find the eight pages that are scattered throughout the woods. The problem is, the Slender man is out to get you.

Staring at the Slender will cause everything to fade to black, so your only hope is to run from it. I won’t lie to you, this didn’t sound that scary at first, but once I find myself in those dark woods, I got why this little game was so popular. But here’s the kicker: One more thing This is one of the top free horror games for Mac you can find. I won’t cost you a dime and it will never ask you for money.

Observer is the latest and greatest horror game to arrive to macOS. From the team behind Layers of Fear, Observer tells the story of detective Daniel Lazarski, played by Blade Runner’s replicant Rutger Hauer. And by the way, the entire game feels like Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner in first-person. But this isn’t the story of an ordinary detective. As part of a special police unit, your job is to hack and invade suspects’ minds. In this future, anything you think, feel, or remember can be used against you in a court of law.

If you were looking for something different to play, this is it. Taking place in a city ravaged by drugs and neural implants, Observer sets a new bar for cyberpunk storytelling and dystopian environments. Coupled with a disturbing sound design, Observer is a tense, suffocating, and dark experience.

One more thing This is the most demanding game in this list. My MacBook Pro couldn’t even launch it! This is a perfect example of why you need to always check the game’s system requirements before making a purchase Observer Mac benchmark results (in FPS). Testing Conditions: We tested the game using Medium settings and 1280×800 resolution: Can your Mac run it? Given the game’s graphics, it’s not surprising it requires some decent horsepower to run. Stay away from it unless you have at least a very recent MacBook Pro.

Any bugs you should be aware of? Testing Observer was a treat. No issues where encountered. Verdict: Very Demanding System Requirements: MacOS 10GHz.6; 3.3 Ghz Intel Core i5; 8 GB RAM; 20 GB HD space; NVIDIA GeForce GT 680, AMD R9 M290. Does Doom 3 need an introduction? Doom 3 is as old-school as it gets. Set in 2145 on Mars, the game takes place in a research facility where an experiment goes horribly wrong.

A gateway to Hell is opened, causing a demon invasion. As a space marine, you will have to fight your way through the base and find a way to close the gateway and stop the demons from invading Earth. Doom 3 isn’t subtle, but the endless waves of demons will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire campaign. The bottom line: While the game is over 10 years old, it’s still one of the scariest experiences you can have on your Mac. One more thing And you can already guess the other benefit of playing an older game: It can be played on older hardware too! Doom 3 Mac benchmark results (in FPS). The Walking Dead is based on the award-winning comic book and television series by Robert Kirkman, and it too does a great job of recreating the hopelessness of a zombie-infested world.

The game has its fair share of jump-scares, but the actual horror comes from the desperate world it recreates. The Walking Dead will show you how the world has gone to hell, how zombies could tear you apart, and how survivors can be even more dangerous. Want to know the best part? As most games from developer, this game is a monument to storytelling in video games, featuring a story full of choices that matter. Those choices will shape your adventure and define who your friends and foes will be.

And that’s what makes this game so tense and macabre: seeing those you get attached to get slowly wiped out. One more thing As every Telltale game out there, The Walking Dead goes for a cartoonish style that both looks great and is very easy to run, even on older Macs. The Walking Dead Mac benchmark results (in FPS). Games Games Our take Demand Level Free games only?

✅ Not demanding Slender: The Arrival From Mark Hadley (AgentParsec), creator of Slender: The Eight Pages, comes Slender: The Arrival. This official re-imagining and expansion of the original game features a brand new storyline, improved visuals, great replay value, and most importantly, the tension and fear that made the first Slender game so famous. 65 Metascore Not demanding No ✅ Not demanding Darkwood Darkwood is another top-down isometric game that aims to provide a new perspective on survival horror.

By day you'll explore the randomly generated woods to scavange or materials and craft weapons to survive. But by night you'll have to find shelter, barricade, and hide or defend yourself from the horrors that lurk in the dark. 80 Metascore Not demanding No ✅ Not demanding CAYNE Remember STASIS, the point-and-click horror game we mentioned before? Well, Cayne is another isometric point-and-click game from the same team.

You can expect extremely similar gameplay and art style but what makes this game unique it's the fact it's completely free. Developer The Brotherhood decided to return to the STASIS universe and make it available to everyone! 75 Metascore Not demanding Yes ✅ Not demanding White Noise 2 Described as a 'fresh horror experience' by developer Milkstone Studios, White Noise 2 is indeed an interesting take on the genre. You can either be a part of the investigator team, or take control of the creature and devour them. This 4 vs 1 asymmetric horror experience is a tense and excellent game to enjoy with friends. NA Metascore Not demanding No ⚠️ Fairly Demanding Among the Sleep Developed by the Norwegian studio Krillbite Studio, Among The Sleep lets you immerse yourself in the limitless imagination of a child.

The game lets you play as a two year old child who is awaken one night by a mysterious force. Among The Sleep takes place between dream and reality, and while it all occurs in an eerie house, the game will throw strange creatures and surreal environments at you.

66 Metascore Fairly Demanding No ⚠️ Fairly Demanding Narcosis Narcosis is a survival first-person horror game taking place in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. You're a diver stranded on the seafloor with low light and few tools, and you'll have to do your best to surface before yur oxygen — and sanity — give out. Expect to be tested not only by your primal fears but also the nightmarish flora and fauna that awaits. 66 Metascore Fairly Demanding No ✅ Not demanding CASE: Animatronics In CASE: Animatronics, you find yourself locked in your police department.

The security systems have been hacked and something terrible is definitely going on in there. Hide to survive the night but also use your table to watch the security cameras.

And you'll need them as something is out there and you don't want it to find you. 92 Metascore No ✅ Not demanding Amnesia: The Dark Descent Amnesia: The Dark Descent is one of the goriest games I have ever played and comes from developer Frictional Games, the same team behind SOMA, our top horror pick. Amnesia: The Dark Descent takes place in a dark castle, filled with monsters and puzzles to solve. The game offers several stealth mechanics, allowing you to peek through doors, slowly sneak around and more. This will help you avoid the monsters that inhabit the castle. 85 Metascore Not demanding No ✅ Not demanding System Shock 2 What is a game from 1999 doing here? We usually prefer to stick to modern games but System Shock 2 is different.

This genre defining game inspired some of the greatest titles of our generation, Deus Ex and Bioshock. The graphics may not be impress anymore but the gameplay and terrifying that made it one of the greatest games of all time is still there.

92 Metascore Not demanding No. I’ll be honest with you. The last time I played a horror game was SOMA. I was alone one night in my living room, lights off, sound up.

It. Too much stress. I’d rather play The Walking Dead.

Tense too, but different. What I’m saying is that while everyone can enjoy a good horror game, we all like different things. Nevertheless, you can rest assured all these games respect the following criteria: Native support: These are Mac games, no Wine, Parallels or Bootcamp needed. They all install natively on your Mac. MacOS performance: What good would it be to share with you the best games if your Mac can’t handle them? To help you chose the right game for you (and your particular Mac), we used to test them all on two different machines. Detailed specifications:.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2016): 2.0 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, Intel Iris Graphics 540 (1.5GB). iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014): 3.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M290X (2GB).

Keep in mind that anything over 30 frames per second is perfectly ok to enjoy a game. With these results, you should be able to gauge how demanding a game is. But remember, always refer to the official system requirements before buying a game! Without further ado, let’s dive into the best horror games for Mac. And for reference, this is how we interpret the results: Below 20 FPS Unplayable Laggy gameplay, full of stutters and slowdowns.

20-30 FPS Borderline Can be Ok in slow paced games. Still, not optimal. 30-45 FPS Playable Acceptable for most (most gaming consoles do this). 45-60 FPS Smooth Fluid gameplay, with no perceivable stutters.

60+ FPS Very Smooth For hardcore and professional players, a luxury for most. We usually aim for 30 FPS, because 30 FPS is enough to guarantee a smooth and fluid experience. With first-person shooters, adventure games and more, this list has something for everyone. I’m confident that no matter your particular preferences, at least one of these games will be a good fit for you. And most importantly, they all have what it takes to put a chill on your spine.
