Humble has teamed up with Frictional Games for a new bundle of PC games that pushed the horror genre forward. The bundle includes the Penumbra Collectors Pack, all four Amnesia titles (The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, The Bunker, and Rebirth), and Soma, which I consider to be its opus in terms of visual aesthetics. All six games are $15 each and redeemable on Steam (buying the same set on Steam would currently cost you $78). Some of the titles work on Mac and Linux, too, and all are at least playable on the Steam Deck.

If you’re a glutton for scary video games, Frictional Games’ catalog of first-person titles has your name all over it.

I know, I know — you probably can’t tell much of what’s going on in the images in this post. You often have to venture into these dark places (sometimes while being pursued by a creature that’s drawn to you when you look at it) to get to the other end. Something I give these games credit for is that the thrills mostly aren’t cheap, and they don’t beat you over the head with jump scares. Mind you, there are plenty of scary moments, but the games afford you enough time to marinate as peacefully as one is able to in the horrendousness of their worlds, some of which are filled with hissing cockroaches.
You can get the games to play now, or get them so you have plenty to scare yourself with during Halloween. Either way, it’s a great deal, one that will last until April 1st, with part of your pledge going to the Against Malaria Foundation. The keys expire if unused on April 1st, 2027, so make sure you redeem them beforehand.
