This horror game surely has a lot of writings on it. You, as the hero, would have a sense that time in this game is non-existent (or is it?), makes you wonder whether you are crazy or not, or someone is controlling everything. While other Roblox horror games do play your imagination, this, perhaps, is one that toys with your sanity.

Your goal is to find the exit from the office before you completely lose your sense of self before time runs out.

The game is unique and brings a unique set of differences that pale in comparison with other horror games you may have played. For one, you, as the hero, will become unsure whether Batty is the only threat in this game. There could be other dangers apart from Batty.

This game doesn’t have a clear objective, neither it gives you a good sense of what the game is all about. As a player, you have to travel across what seems to be an endless dark hallway while dreading for something scary to just pop out from nowhere.

Whether the place is inhabited by monsters, that we don’t know. Maybe you can play this game and uncover the mystery yourself.

This is perhaps one of the Roblox horror games that stands out among the rest due to its science fiction horror theme. The player starts out as a scientist in a laboratory where a shape-shifting monster is running freely. The number of monsters is also unknown. This makes the game rather precarious because the scientist can’t trust anyone. The goal is to make it to safety until rescue arrives.

The player can also assume the role of the alien who should be discrete in infecting the humans in the game. Any player who dies in the round can rejoin the game as a swarming alien.

What makes this game a standout is the top-down view while playing, which is something different from the rest of the Roblox horror games we have listed so far. The goal for the player is to look for an exit in a maze filled with jump scares and surprises that will surely make your pulse race. However, players will experience an unnerving feeling due to the poor lighting and the eerie atmosphere of the game.
