A week ago, I asked PC Gamer readers to nominate the scariest PC games they could think of. I collected the top 16 submissions from that comment section (with some editorial discretion) and randomly seeded a bracket.

After a week of voting, we've finally got a winner. The scariest game on PC is...

🏆 Alien: Isolation 🏆

(Image credit: Sega)Some of you called it from the start, and Alien: Isolation plowed through its competition without much resistance, beating SOMA, Darkwood, Silent Hill 2, and finally Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

"Alien: Isolation completely destroys me, drenching me in sweat and causing me to take leave of my senses," Fraser wrote [https://www.pcgamer.com/games/horror/alien-isolation-is-my-favourite-horror-game-because-its-taken-me-an-entire-decade-to-finish-it/] a couple years ago. It took him 10 years to get up the courage to finish it.
