Here is the first game in the best mobile horror games. Imagine being locked inside of a school after class, and having to spend the whole night alone in that school. Scary, isn’t it? No students would want that. What’s worse, you are not really alone: there’s someone (or something) coming after you, and all you can do is hide!
You will take the role of said student. This game is based on a classic horror in 2001, which wasn’t popular back then, but still managed to have a dedicated following, even until now. This is a horror survivor game, with the “run and hide” mechanic, which is really popular as of late. With the classic Asian horror, with the right amount of creepy and uneasy, plus multiple endings, you will want to replay this game a lot (if you can, that is!).
