Horror prototypes live or die on atmosphere. You do not need a massive budget to block out dread — you need fog, sound, readable spaces, and something that walks toward the player.
This curated set of free horror Unity assets is built for scare staging: hospital/cemetery spaces, creatures, dread audio, and a thin gameplay scaffold. Pair them with your own lighting, encounters, and pacing.
