Since 2022, The Horror Game Awards have celebrated standout achievements across the genre, highlighting the developers and titles pushing horror gaming forward. Founded by Phil Dickens and Will Penkeyman, the awards were created to spotlight the projects that deliver fresh, inventive, and genuinely terrifying experiences.

Their acclaimed titles — including Heartworm, The Lacerator, and Vile — were all recognized by the organization, marking a strong showing for the DreadXP slate and its continued impact within the horror-gaming community.
