Offline Horror Games for Android and iPhone

Offline horror games are useful when you want a tense single-player experience without relying on a live multiplayer connection. The titles below use different kinds of fear: some focus on hiding and escaping, while others mix exploration with puzzles or limited combat.

Store availability and offline requirements can change between versions. Check the current listing for your device before downloading, and launch a newly installed game once while connected in case it needs to download additional files.

Mental Hospital V

Mental Hospital V is a first-person survival-horror game set around an abandoned psychiatric hospital. You explore with a camera and night vision while investigating the disappearance of a group of reporters. The emphasis is on observation, evasion, and finding a route through dark rooms rather than overpowering every threat.

Emily Wants To Play Too

A delivery worker becomes trapped inside a building with Emily and a collection of hostile dolls. Each pursuer follows its own rules, so progress depends on recognizing behavior, reacting correctly, and learning from failed attempts. Choose this one if you prefer short chases and rule-based encounters.

CASE: Animatronics

You play detective John Bishop, locked inside a police station after its security system is compromised. A hostile animatronic patrols the building while you search for answers. Hiding beneath furniture or inside cabinets and tracking movement are more important than direct confrontation.

Paranormal Territory 2

This compact exploration game sends you into a house after reports of unexplained activity. The objective is to search the rooms, collect the required objects, and escape. It suits players who want a straightforward haunted-house experience rather than a long campaign.

Forgotten Memories

Forgotten Memories is closer to traditional survival horror. It combines dark environments, investigation, limited resources, and occasional combat. Its slower pace rewards careful exploration, so it is a better match for players who enjoy searching rooms and managing supplies.

Lost Within

Lost Within takes place in an abandoned institution filled with dangerous inhabitants. Although you can collect materials and improvise items, stealth is often the safer approach. Use cover, watch patrol routes, and avoid unnecessary encounters while uncovering the building's history.

Reporter: The Beginning

A reporter investigates a series of disturbing events that local authorities appear unable or unwilling to explain. The first-person play focuses on searching rooms, interacting with objects, and escaping threats. It is aimed at players who want a narrative mystery alongside jump scares.

Evil Dead: Endless Nightmare

Inspired by the cabin-in-the-woods setting associated with Evil Dead, this game is more action-oriented than several entries above. You move through a hostile forest environment, collect weapons, and fight supernatural enemies. Its violence and horror imagery make it unsuitable for younger players.

Can You Escape Haunted Room 2?

This title leans toward escape-room puzzles. You inspect scenes, combine items, and solve clues to move through a haunted location. Pick it if you want eerie presentation without the constant pursuit found in stealth-horror games.

Eyes: The Horror Game

Eyes gives you a simple objective: search a haunted building for valuables and reach the exit without being caught. Audio cues and changes in the environment warn that a threat is near. The short objective-based format works well for repeat attempts.

Slendrina: The Cellar 1 and 2

Both Slendrina: The Cellar games send you through a maze-like cellar to find books and keys before escaping. The controls and goal are simple, but limited visibility and Slendrina's sudden appearances create the tension. These are suitable for short sessions and players new to mobile horror.

How to choose

• For stealth: try CASE: Animatronics or Lost Within.
• For classic survival horror: choose Forgotten Memories.
• For puzzles: start with Can You Escape Haunted Room 2?
• For short repeatable runs: try Eyes or Slendrina: The Cellar.

Use headphones only at a safe volume: several of these games rely heavily on directional sound and sudden audio cues.
