Five horror games to play this Halloween night

Thomasina Bateman is an archeologist and woman of science, summoned to excavate an ancient mound near a remote rural village - and terrible forces are brought forth. With its engaging protagonist, brooding yokels and atmospheric locations, it's like taking part in a chilling BBC costume drama starring Suranne Jones and Sean Harris.
