Across 9 story maps, you’ll encounter werewolves, mummies, and chainsaw-wielding butchers while trick-or-treating. 8 survival maps require you to fight your way out with weapons like pistols and holy crosses.

7. The Midnight Walk

Price on Steam: From $23.99 (10/30/2025)

This is more art-horror than shock horror. Everything is handcrafted in clay and stop-motion style, then brought into VR. You become The Burnt One, guided by the lantern-creature Potboy, navigating a surreal realm of darkness and flickering flame. Puzzle-stealth sections, immersive binaural audio, and an aesthetic that feels like a nightmare art-installation make it stand out.

8. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners

Price on Steam: From $9.99 (10/30/2025)

Set in the gritty, post-apocalyptic streets of New Orleans, this VR survival horror game plunges you into the iconic Walking Dead universe. As a "Tourist" navigating the city’s ruins, you’ll scavenge for scarce resources—from food and ammo to scrap metal for crafting weapons—while fending off ravenous walkers and rival human factions. The game’s physics-based combat adds intense realism: you can swing a machete to hack through walker hordes, aim a revolver with precise VR aiming, or even use environmental objects like pipes to defend yourself. What sets it apart is the moral ambiguity of choices—helping a stranger might cost you vital supplies, while betraying a group could lead to dangerous retaliation—all wrapped in a tense, atmospheric world that makes every step feel like a fight for survival.

9. Metro Awakening

Price on Steam: From $22.99 (10/30/2025)

A VR-exclusive entry in the beloved Metro franchise, this game takes you deep into the radioactive ruins of post-nuclear Moscow. As a survivor navigating the city’s labyrinthine underground metro tunnels and desolate surface, you’ll face dual threats: mutated creatures (like the vicious Nosalises that lurk in dark corners) and hostile human clans fighting over dwindling resources. VR elevates the franchise’s signature tension—you’ll manually check your gas mask’s filter life as toxic air seeps in, reload guns with tactile, step-by-step movements, and use a flashlight to pierce the oppressive darkness, where every shadow could hide danger. The game also leans into immersive storytelling, with richly detailed environments (from crumbling subway stations to overgrown city streets) and a gripping narrative that explores hope and desperation in a world on the brink.

10. Labyrinthine

Price on Steam: $4.99 (10/30/2025)

Designed for both solo and co-op play (up to 4 players), this VR horror game traps you in a series of twisting, ever-changing labyrinths—from fog-shrouded forests and abandoned asylums to decaying mansions—each filled with nightmarish creatures and mind-bending puzzles. As you explore, you’ll need to solve riddles (like decoding cryptic symbols or navigating maze-like layouts) to progress, all while evading relentless foes: think ghostly figures that vanish when you look directly at them, or towering monsters that hunt by sound. Co-op mode amplifies the thrills—you’ll rely on voice chat to coordinate strategies, share resources, and calm each other’s nerves when a jump scare hits. With procedural level generation, no two playthroughs are the same, keeping the terror fresh and unpredictable for every session.
