If you like Dead By Daylight, Friday The 13th: The Game,and those kinds of games, you’ll be able to appreciate Flee The Facility. The art style is a little lighter than most games on this list, but that doesn’t make it any less suspenseful.

It Lurks turns the suspense level all the way up because the premise is that you’re alone at home before something breaks in.

Roblox
- Creator: BDStudios
- Date of Creation: May 2021

18. 'Piggy'
Roblox

29. 'The Mirror'
Roblox

- Date of Creation: June 2019
The Mirror, like many games on this list, makes you complete objectives while trying not to get scared along the way. The cool spin here is that you do this while staring at a reflection of your character the entire time, which gets weirder as time passes.
30. 'The Rake'
Roblox
- Creator: RVVZ
