Ancient Egyptian horror game Amenti had everything lined up to make it a stellar scarefest—except it forgot to include some actual horror

The demon Pharaoh screaming.

Horror games don't have to be action-packed thrillers to be fun. Some of my favourites (or least favourite, depending on how you look at it) have been quiet journeys full of tension and anticipation with minimal fights—games like Amnesia: The Bunker or Little Nightmares. But there is a line between a psychological horror game and a walking sim that has a few jumpscares. Unfortunately, Amenti falls into the latter category.
