4. Until Dawn

At first glance, Until Dawn may seem like a typical horror about students who went on a fun weekend away from civilization, and ended up in a deadly place with maniacs and monsters. But the basis of the story is only a small part of the game.

The peculiarity of Until Dawn is that the player often has to make decisions, any of which can have unexpected consequences. It is impossible to predict in advance which of the eight heroes will survive and what the ending will be. We'll have to experiment with different scenarios. The main thing is to remember that death in this game can wait at every step.

5. Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy

This dramatic thriller is set in New York. The city was shocked by a mysterious series of murders that are committed by ordinary people who lose their minds for a while. The poor fellows become possessed and kill bystanders on the street.

The game is the ancestor of the interactive cinema genre and actively uses such techniques as non-linear dialogues and time limits for making decisions. All this, together with the soundtrack of the great composer Angelo Badalamenti, creates an indescribable atmosphere and immerses you headlong into what is happening on the screen.
