Bendy and the Ink Machine has a cult following - it’s one of those horror games that quickly found traction when it first launched. Bendy is a Disney-esque character who seems to have come to life, haunting the studio where he was created. You are one of the original creators, and after some time away, you have been drawn back by the letter of your past co-worker. Once inside the studio, however, you find yourself trapped, and you must find your way out without disturbing the characters lurking in the shadows. 

Five Nights at Freddy's 4: The Final Chapter

Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 takes you out of your job and brings the horror to your home. All of the monsters that have been in the other games- Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and some new characters - are waiting for you at home. You play as a child who needs to try to watch all of the doors to your room as well as under your bed, using your flashlight to scare off the other characters. You’ll need to listen and move carefully, as if something ends up coming too close, moving your light onto them will result in your demise.
