1. Ice Scream 1: Scary Horror
Developer: Keplerians
Genre: Stealth Horror / Puzzle
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~700 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: First-person stealth: sneak inside Rod's ice cream van, search rooms for clues and tools, solve short puzzles, and stay quiet — if Rod hears you, he comes running.
⭐ My take (4.5/5 — a genuine mobile horror classic): The game that started the whole 'creepy neighbor' mobile horror wave. It's simple but genuinely tense, especially on Nightmare difficulty, and the new Keplerians Network update refreshed the visuals nicely.
2. Eyes: Horror & Coop Multiplayer
Developer: Cerberus Interactive
Genre: Survival Horror / Jump-Scare
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~150 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Sneak through a haunted mansion, hospital, or school collecting money bags while a monster hunts you. Use Eye Runes to sense where it's looking, then freeze or flee before it catches you.
⭐ My take (4.3/5 — short, sharp, and still scary after all these years): One of the OG mobile horror titles — it's dated in places, but the tension of hearing footsteps behind you never really gets old, and the new co-op multiplayer mode adds real replay value.
3. Evil Nun: Horror at School
Developer: Keplerians
Genre: Stealth Horror / Escape
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~500 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Explore Eagle's Junior High School, craft makeshift weapons and tools, solve puzzles, and find one of several ways out — all while Sister Madeline patrols the halls listening for every footstep.
⭐ My take (4.4/5 — great mix of comedy and genuine scares): Bigger and more open than most games in this genre, with real replayability thanks to multiple escape routes and difficulty modes. A personal favorite for a quick 20-minute scare.
4. Scary Teacher 3D
Developer: Z & K Games
Genre: Stealth Comedy-Horror
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~900 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Sneak into Miss T's house, collect items scattered around each of her 15 rooms, set up an elaborate prank, then trigger it and escape before she catches you mid-mission.
⭐ My take (4.2/5 — more prank-comedy than pure horror, but hugely popular): Less about being scared and more about the satisfaction of pulling off a perfect prank — a fun, open-world alternative if you want horror-themed but not genuinely frightening.
5. Granny
Developer: DVloper
Genre: Survival Horror / Escape
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~100 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: You wake up locked inside Granny's house with 5 in-game days to escape. Search rooms quietly for tools and keys, hide in wardrobes or under beds, and avoid making noise — Granny hears everything.
⭐ My take (4.4/5 — the mobile horror game that started it all): Over half a billion downloads for a reason: minimal, punishing, and endlessly tense. Small download size too, so it's perfect if you're low on storage.
6. Emily Wants to Play
Developer: Shawn Hitchcock
Genre: Survival Horror
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~250 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: You're a pizza delivery guy trapped in a house with three living dolls and a strange girl named Emily. As the hours pass, more of them start roaming — avoid them, or survive if you're caught in a room together.
⭐ My take (4.1/5 — one of the scarier doll-horror games on mobile): Genuinely unsettling in a way a lot of mobile horror games aren't — the escalating dread as each hour passes is well done, even if replaying it loses some of the scare factor.
7. Death Park: Scary Horror Clown
Developer: Anton Nazarov
Genre: Survival Horror / Puzzle
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~350 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Explore 7 locations across an abandoned amusement park — old buildings, a hospital, dark basements, mazes — solving hardcore puzzles while a crafty evil clown hunts you. Multiple endings depending on your choices.
⭐ My take (4.3/5 — a genuinely creepy amusement-park setting): More atmospheric than most in this list, with a real sense of place. The clown AI feels genuinely unpredictable, which keeps you on edge the whole way through.
8. Garten of Banban
Developer: Euphoric Brothers
Genre: Mascot Horror / Exploration
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~1.1 GB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Search an abandoned kindergarten for your missing child, riding a drone-camera minecart between areas, solving light puzzles, and meeting (and fleeing from) the kindergarten's unsettling mascot characters.
⭐ My take (4.0/5 — divisive, but a massive mobile hit): Chapter 1 is free and a solid taste of the 'mascot horror' genre that blew up on YouTube — short, but the character designs are genuinely creepy and memorable.
9. Baldi's Basics Classic
Developer: Basically Games
Genre: Meta / Parody Horror
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~62 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Collect 7 notebooks scattered around a fake '90s-style schoolhouse while answering simple math questions. Get one wrong and Baldi starts hunting you — and he gets faster with every notebook you collect.
⭐ My take (4.3/5 — a smart, funny twist on 90s edutainment nostalgia): Not conventionally scary, but the mounting dread as Baldi's chase music speeds up is a stroke of genius. Tiny download size too — great if storage is tight.
10. The Baby In Yellow
Developer: Team Terrible
Genre: Comedy-Horror / Simulation
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~500 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: You're the babysitter for an unusual baby. Feed him, change his diaper, and put him to sleep — simple chores that get stranger and more dangerous with every chapter as the baby's true nature comes out.
⭐ My take (4.4/5 — one of the best-produced free horror games on mobile): Genuinely well-made for a free game — great lighting, sound design, and a real sense of escalating dread. The Lovecraftian twist by the later chapters is a highlight.
11. Mr. Meat: Horror Escape Room
Developer: Keplerians
Genre: Stealth Horror / Escape
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~350 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: A mad butcher named Mr. Meat has kidnapped a young woman and locked her in his house. Sneak through his home, solve puzzles, and either rescue her yourself or call the police to arrest him — you only have 5 hours.
⭐ My take (4.2/5 — a fan-favorite among Keplerians' catalogue): Smaller map than Evil Nun or Ice Scream, but that makes it feel more claustrophobic and intense — Mr. Meat and his pig companion are a genuinely creepy combo.
12. Horrorfield Multiplayer Horror
Developer: Cheely Apps
Genre: Asymmetric Multiplayer Horror
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~200 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Real-time online 4v1 matches: play as one of 7 survivors who must cooperatively repair generators and escape, or play as a psycho killer (Butcher, Cultist, Ghost, Beast) hunting them through a dark shelter.
⭐ My take (4.1/5 — the best free Dead by Daylight-style game on mobile): The closest thing to Dead by Daylight you'll get on mobile for free, and it holds up surprisingly well — matches are tense whichever side you're on.
13. Garten of Banban 0
Developer: Euphoric Brothers
Genre: Mascot Horror / Prequel
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~1 GB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: A prequel exploring the dark origins of Banban's Kindergarten. Escape your cell, meet your 'neighbors,' and try to survive the establishment's disturbing past through light puzzles and stealth sections.
⭐ My take (4.0/5 — a solid, free prequel chapter): A nice free companion piece to the main Garten of Banban game — shorter, but it fills in backstory that fans of the series will appreciate.
14. Ice Scream 3
Developer: Keplerians
Genre: Stealth Horror / Puzzle
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~750 MB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: Rod has kidnapped another child and taken them deeper into his operation. Sneak through new locations connected to his van, solve tougher puzzles than the first two games, and stay hidden as Rod's patience runs thinner.
⭐ My take (4.4/5 — the fan-favorite midpoint of the saga): Widely considered the strongest entry in the original trilogy — bigger map, smarter AI, and the story starts tying earlier games together in a satisfying way.
15. Ice Scream 8: Final Chapter
Developer: Keplerians
Genre: Stealth Horror / Puzzle
Price: Free | Approx. App Size: ~1 GB
Platforms: iOS & Android
🎮 How it plays: J. and friends are locked in Rod's factory control room with Rod and Evil Nun closing in. Explore rediscovered factory locations, solve the toughest puzzles in the series, and fight through a final boss battle to end the saga.
⭐ My take (4.3/5 — a genuinely satisfying finale to the saga): A proper send-off for the franchise — pulls together lore from all seven previous games and ends on a genuinely tense final battle instead of just another escape sequence.
