There's no shortage of "horror" games - from the survival horror of Silent Hill to the blood-n-guts of Painkiller and the spookiness of Clock Tower. However, while these games generally offer gross visuals and the odd spike of fight/flight adrenaline, most are designed around cheap thrills: they're not really designed to be scary or disturbing.
Hypno Vol.1 changes this. It's probably best classed as a horror game, though it isn't scary: there's no zombies clawing out of their grave or monsters leaping from the closet. However, behind it's simple, monochrome interface lies one of the most disturbing game concepts I've seen for a while. In essence, it's a murder simulator.
