hoGAMEGATA is a free, ad-free database dedicated to horror games and game metadata preservation. We never sell user data or lock features behind paywalls. hoGAMEGATA only collects, stores and serves pre-existing/known games as an aggregator.
The easiest way to help is to share your favorite game pages, tag combinations, and lists with fellow horror enthusiasts. Help us build a larger community.
Preservation starts with metadata. Report missing details, suggest tags, submit scare ratings, and contribute to retro / abandonware lists to keep the records complete.
Domain, Database hosting, cron jobs, and API requests cost real money and computational power. Support us financially on Ko-Fi or which ever way possible to help cover our direct operating infrastructure costs.
