In a unique matchup, both Amnesia: The Bunker and Amnesia: The Dark Descent have advanced, setting up an internal battle for the series' horror crown. The outcome may hinge on which of the two titles has garnered more widespread play.
Meanwhile, Silent Hill 2 has secured a spot in the semifinals, narrowly defeating Dead Space by a mere 12 votes, with 614 votes cast for Silent Hill 2 compared to Dead Space's 602. This victory pits the psychological horror classic against the critically acclaimed Alien: Isolation in the other semifinal.

It is worth noting that the 'Silent Hill 2' nomination encompasses both the original PC release, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, and its recent remake. Players are encouraged to specify which version they are voting for in the comments.
