5In Silence
Don’t Make a Sound
In Silence
If you’re a fan of other PvP Horror titles on this list,In Silenceplays relatively similarly. Five players look to evade another player chasing them with a monster in a 5v1.
There is one catch, though: The monster has limited vision and relies entirely on sound to determine where its prey is running around.
The player granted the role of the monster will be provided an indicator to locate his victims on the map. So, the whole game is mainly centered around how silent you and your group will be against the monster and be able to get out of its grasp.
If you end up making too much noise, it won’t take long until you end up a light snack for the predator that is out hunting for you, so tread lightly and you just might make it out alive.

Reviews (Steam)
Mostly Positive
There are plenty of multiplayer games that seem tofollowAmong Us' social deductionformulaof spreading mistrust and trying to weed out the enemy.
Cult of Personalityfollows a similar route but does enough to stick out from the rest of the plain imitators with alesser budget.
Imagine the same setting, with an Eldtrich twist and a cult ritual, trying to gain followers and weeding out which ones don’t have the same faith.
As any cult leader, your job is to separate the heretics from the believers and eliminate them from your group of followers with your ghost form.
However, if you happen to be one of the “True Believers”, try to follow the orders and try to complete the ritual as soon as possible.

A Supernatural Game of Pursuit
Milkstone Studios
August 16, 2025
Improving upon the much-successful original,White Noise 2carves impressive scares in a supernaturalhorror indie gem.
Featuring new maps, horrifying ghouls, a brand-new gang of investigators, and more. In short, the second installment in the White Noise series makes a point of diversifying the lot.
While the concept of the asymmetrical game is pretty simple, the appearance of its terrifying monster in your friends' faces is sure to launch them off their seats.
These intense sessions make it difficult for the humans in the game to keep a tight grasp on the controller as the other player paces at you with speed to rip you up.
Your only defense against this type of enemy is to point your flashlight at their face and blind them. This could give you enough time to run away and resume your mission of collecting tapes to win the round.
