Highlighting games within the elusive but potent cryptid/folklore genre. Though a small subset in the category of games, they represent an innate fear, mystery, and wonder within our shared human history. As always, let me know if you have any goods games to add :)

Love your lists man, such a cool concept.
Also, I loved Witch Hunt. Even though the gameplay and fights were a bit frustating, the first time you enter the forest searching for something (sometimes not even being sure what you are looking for) is incredible and pretty unique.

@gman I won't lie, making random themed lists is more fun than I'd like to admit. Glad you like them!
