PC Gamer readers are continuing to cast their votes to determine the scariest game on PC. Last week's nominations have been distilled into a 16-game bracket, seeded randomly, and the first round of voting has concluded, leaving eight games to advance.
Several games achieved significant victories in the initial voting phase. Alien: Isolation defeated SOMA with 85% of the vote, while Dead Space garnered 78% against Fatal Frame 2 Remake. Amnesia: The Dark Descent also advanced comfortably, earning 79% of the vote over S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Round 2 Matchups
This week, the remaining eight games will compete in a new round of voting. The matchups include:
- Amnesia: The Bunker vs. Cry of Fear
- F.E.A.R. vs. Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Silent Hill 2 vs. Dead Space
- Alien: Isolation vs. Darkwood
For the purposes of this vote, "Silent Hill 2" encompasses either the original PC version (Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, 2002) or the recent remake (2022).
Determining the Scariest
Following this second round, the field will be further halved, with the final two games advancing to a championship match on Friday. The ultimate winner, crowned the scariest game on PC, will be announced Saturday morning.
