The site also features curated picks, such as a nightly selection, and thematic collections like Halloween games. Typical use cases include discovering new horror games based on specific preferences, comparing titles across platforms, and finding free browser based scary games for quick play. The workflow involves browsing the unfiltered home page or applying filters to narrow down choices, then clicking on a game to read its content notes, gameplay description, and platform availability. The site does not host games itself but provides links or purchase information for each title. Technical requirements vary by game; browser based games require a modern web browser, while other games require the respective console or PC hardware. The directory is updated with new entries and currently lists 1,456 games, with categories such as psychological horror (524 games) and short horror games (467 games) among the most populated.
