5 Nintendo Switch Games to Play This Friday the 13th

Blasphemous 2

A brutal pixel-art Metroidvania soaked in religious symbolism and blood. You play as The Penitent One, wielding a sword forged in guilt through a world cursed by “The Miracle.” From monstrous bosses to sorrow-soaked lore, it’s Castlevania for the deeply damned.

Amnesia Collection

 

This psychological horror bundle includes The Dark Descent, Justine, and A Machine for Pigs. These aren’t about jump scares—they’re about the stuff you imagine in the dark. Light your lantern, manage your sanity, and try not to breathe too loud.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water

 

Nothing screams cursed like taking ghost photos on a haunted mountain. This remaster of the Wii U cult classic lets you play as shrine maidens using the iconic Camera Obscura to banish spirits. Wet, eerie, and full of doomed rituals—it’s J-horror on a cartridge.

Fear the Spotlight

Part Phantom of the Opera, part high school séance gone wrong. This low-poly survival horror gem isn’t just scary—it’s smart, heartfelt, and atmospheric. With fixed camera angles and stealthy puzzle-solving, it’s a perfect Friday the 13th pick for fans of PS1-era chills.

Luigi’s Mansion 3

 

Sure, it’s spooky-lite, but Luigi’s third ghost hunt is the most polished and charming one yet. Explore a haunted hotel with your Poltergust, solve clever puzzles, and rescue Mario from the clutches of King Boo. Not terrifying—but just eerie enough for a late-night session.
