Note: There are tons of good indie horror games out there! I made an effort to stick to some of the lesser-known games.

5. Thin Walls
"Iki had lost her voice due to previous events and thus only speaks internally. She wakes to find herself alone in her home with only the comforting voice named -Lo who resides in the walls of her home. A thunderstorm rages outside her window and see_ms to create strange objects in her home. She may unravel the events that caused her trauma or let them consume her, all the while being pursued by a dark faced, yet familiar stranger.
This is a very short game created in even shorter time, there is no real battle but you can be defeated if you're not careful. It will make you think but not too hard.
It may even give you a "feel" or two. There is no need to really go into your inventory or "use" items. It is a very, VERY, easy game."
I played through this game with my little sister in about an hour or two, Thin Walls has some nice dark imagery and a mysterious feel that makes you want to keep playing if only to find out what happens next. I gave this game the number five slot mostly because it isn't as scary as it is just a good game.

4. Leave
"Leave is a short (Maybe 15 to 20 minutes in length) adventure/horror game made by Astral. The game begins with the protagonist waking up in her bedroom, but it's up to the player to search her house for the backstory. However, as the focus of the game is the scares, don't expect a heavy backstory.
This game's setting is a girl who you don't know and her house with no normal ambience.
The purpose is to find a way out and to get out of the house. "
I thoroughly enjoyed Leave! There were several jump scares that actually got me, but like the description says, its a relatively short game that doesn't focus much on story. The scary imagery in this game is really top notch though!

3. Hello? Hell...o?
Hello? Hell...o? is a great game to play in under an hour, its entertaining with plenty of jump scares to keep you interested. The entire game takes place inside one room which changes depending on your actions.
This is another game which is very fun but doesn't have much backstory.

2. The Witch's House
"The Witch's House is a freeware puzzle-oriented horror game by Fummy made in RPG Maker VX.
The young Viola visits a mysterious house in the woods.
She soon discovers its dangerous nature and must find a way out.
But the house is ever-changing, and death could be lurking anywhere...
(Be aware that some elements of the game are somewhat violent.)"
The Witch's House is by far the most in depth and detailed game on this list, with the longest play time and the most interesting backstory. Its one of my all time favorite video games and its just absolutely masterful when you realize its an indie game made without funding!
Expect interesting puzzles, good jump scares, and a story which will actually make you think. The biggest reason this game didn't make the number one spot on this list is just because the number one went to a party game which has the added enjoyment of watching your friends loose it.

1. Eyes
"First person perspective indie horror game. If you like Slender, you'll like it too. Search an old, abandoned house and collect any valuables but be careful - there are rumors of a ghost haunting the building."
The text above is true, if you enjoy Slender you will love Eyes! But I'll warn you, you should expect Eyes to be much more fast paced.
The object of this game is to run around an abandoned mansion collecting money while avoiding an evil floating head which is the stuff of nightmares!
Okay, well my nightmares at least...
This game is amazing to play in a group, taking turns to see who can make it the farthest. Its worth a try at the very least!
