Screenshot by Destructoid When you think of space horror, aliens might come to mind. That's not the case here. Knowing that, it is a horror game, so you can bet that the titular Mouthwashing has plenty in store for you. The scariest part, however, is how the true horror here comes from simple human nature at its worst, and

makes a great case for that to be the worst kind of horror one can experience.

It's far from an obscure indie, but it's just so good that more people need to know about it. Once again, this is a title that, aside from two sections, will require absolutely no gameplay reflexes to beat, so the only skill you need to see it through is the will and stomach to beat it.

Image by ULTRAULTRA Few game thought experiments are scarier than imagining Metal Gear Solid through the POV of a guard. Knowing what you already know, you're well aware that it's only a matter of time until Solid Snake offs you. Echo pulls off a beautifully horrific twist on that idea, as it has the hyper-intelligent and super-capable playable character infiltrate a megastructure, only to realize all guards are like her. This also means that the better you get at the game, the better the guards get. When combined with the spectacularly haunting setting, this easily makes Echo one of the most enthralling lesser-known horror games out there.

Sadly, despite great reviews and player response, ULTRAULTRA, the studio behind Echo, went under due to low sales. Echo will, unfortunately, never give the people behind it the success they deserve, but will hopefully keep on growing in the great gamer subconscious via the echoes of the people who got to experience this amazingly unique title.
