Roblox horror covers a wide range: atmospheric escape rooms, asymmetric survive-the-killer games, backrooms-style explorers, and co-op nightmares built for a panicking friend group. The strongest ones earn their scares through tension and sound design, and the genre attracts some of the most inventive developers on the platform.
