Last week, I asked PC Gamer readers to nominate the scariest PC games they could think of. I’ve collected the top 16 submissions from that comment section (with some editorial discretion) and randomly seeded the bracket below. Now it’s time to battle them, democracy-style.<\/p>\n

This is round one, where we’ll whittle 16 games down to eight with head-to-head votes. On Wednesday we’ll cut the list in half again to four games, followed by the semi-final on Thursday, and the final vote-off between the last two games on Friday. The winner will be revealed on Saturday\u2014a blessed weekend Halloween!<\/p>\n

We got a lot of great suggestions, but ultimately had to start with a manageable number of games. Condemned: Criminal Origins, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Alone in the Dark, and Skifree (that Yeti definitely scared me) are a few submissions that didn’t quite make the cut.<\/p>\n

We’re moving fast with this one: Voting for this round will be open until 9 am Pacific on Wednesday, October 28. Round 2 will be posted shortly after. We’ll keep going at that pace until the final face-off on Friday.<\/p>\n
