![]() If you’ve ever wanted to watch a child battle the manifestations of their elaborate nightmares while their only companion (a loveable dog) is constantly in danger, this is the game for you. Rule of Rose falls somewhere between a Silent Hill game and one of those old gothic fairy tales where the kids are most certainly not alright. What really puts this one over-the-top, though is its commitment to making young Jennifer endure some of the most indescribable horrors you’ve ever seen in such a title. The very concept of a survival horror title starring such a young playable protagonist is troubling enough. While some of those bans can be attributed to a lie-fuelled moral panic designed to score political points among “moralists,” there’s no denying that Rule of Rose is a deeply disturbing game. Actually, this PS2 survival horror game was banned in the UK at the time of its 2006 release, and it was almost banned in several other countries as well. Rule of Ros e has always been a controversial game. In these post-lockdown times, though, there’s something even more troubling about that basic concept. The feeling of being locked in a room where your only escape is a portal to a truly terrifying world filled with unfathomable horrors was always disturbing. The thing that elevates this game above its companions so far as this topic goes is the “apartment” element of the story. It’s not the best Silent Hill (or even my favorite Silent Hill), but it is the most deeply disturbing entry in the franchise. While pretty much any of the Silent Hill games could have made this list (it’s kind of a messed-up franchise, in case you didn’t know), I think Silent Hill 4 is most deserving of this spot. ![]() With that out of the way, prepare yourself for the most disturbing horror games ever made. Many of these games feature some incredibly troubling themes and content. However, I would warn anyone who may be bothered by generally disturbing material to please look into some of these games a little bit before diving into them.
