If you are looking for the special thrill or don't want to scary yourself alone, you can also face your fears with friends. There are enough cooperative horror games, especially on Steam. We have selected some of the best co-op titles in which you have to assert yourself against terrifying zombies, bloodthirsty killers and other scary things-or in which you even slip into the skin of horror.

with its asymmetrical PvP mode offers a very special trick: you can not only slip into the role of one of the four prisoners, but also into that of the killer.
While as a prisoner you try to escape from the death area from the third-person perspective, it is your job as a killer to prevent that-in a cruel way and in the role of different famous horror characters, of course. This is not only an exciting, but also nerve-wracking cat-and-mouse game.
