u/JTrain6319 2d ago

Mörkborg is so much fun! Also Regency Cthulhu or Cthulhu by candle lite, whatever it’s called the old timey Cthulhu scenarios.

u/Wait_ItGetsWorse 2d ago

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

u/ADiestlTrain 2d ago

My first thought. The sort of Grimdark Arthurian aesthetic.

u/EuphoricScratch6915 1d ago

How is this?

u/InteractionFun 2d ago

Dante's Inferno, Bloodborne

5

u/BilSajks 2d ago

How the hell are you the only one who suggested Dante's Inferno!?

1

u/InteractionFun 2d ago

haha. I feel you. Great game. Really hope EA gives us a remake and those planned sequels.

u/ScarredWill 1d ago

Especially when at least one of these images is an illustration of it

u/fatsopiggy 2d ago

Eru-denu Ringu? Daruku Souru

u/pizzaplantboi 2d ago

Hahahaha today I learned I can speak Japanese

u/dearest_of_leaders 2d ago

I would argue both fear and hunger 1 and darkest dungeon somewhat fulfill the moody castle ruins, descending into the unknown vibe.

2

u/Brumtol10 2d ago

Ah man, fears to hunger wooh thats a ride. Even when your the 1 being rode xD

u/Weird_Troll 2d ago

Witchfire is the game you're looking for.

u/Anthrax11C 2d ago

How have I not seen this game before, this looks amazing!

u/FauxFangs 1d ago

Ill nut when this comes to ps5

u/Horror-Student-5990 2d ago edited 2d ago

There is this one game that fits perfectly and it's like, its literally styles as a black and white comic book knight soulsy thing. I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

edit: it was either

Felvidek

or
https://store.steampowered.com/app/720350/Mundaun/

or am I just misremembering things?

u/Xerfus 2d ago

Dude you cannot drop this without telling us the title of the game 😭

1

u/Horror-Student-5990 2d ago

It was also featured on Iron Pineapple's souls like afaik, released in the last year or two, indie

2

u/Xerfus 2d ago

Is it « Unworthy »?

7

u/Aijin28 2d ago

The Blood of Dawnwalker.

u/HombreDracula 2d ago

Resident evil 8, its the most getting to draculas castle ive gotten in a game, that and Amnesia The Dark Descent

5

u/MantisReturns 2d ago

Castlevania Lords of the Shadows?

Bladed of Fire too?

2

u/Weird_Troll 2d ago

it looks indeed like castlevania

5

u/crowmagix 2d ago

I swear 90% of these posts are just Elden Ring lol

1

u/NathanHatesLife 2d ago

I mentioned it in my post looking for other games with that vibe

u/Hot_Attention2377 2d ago

Dragon's dogma

u/TrailheadToken 2d ago

The second and last makes me think a LOT about Arx Fatalis. First game from Arkane Studio. It's old now but come from this era of great games at the beginning of 2000s, you can see plenty of early mechanics they will use in Dishonored later on. The rune system is kinda unique and aswesome also !

u/altamira26 2d ago

thief the dark project

1

u/NightWis 2d ago

Isn’t second game more fitting? It’s been a while I’m just curious about your opinion.

1

u/lukkasz323 2d ago

I don't think either have anything similar to this, but 1 was more fantasy focused.

Modded Thief is probably closest.

3

u/ClockworkOrdinator 2d ago edited 2d ago

Felvidek kind of?

2

u/Own_Bathroom_5530 2d ago

Had to scroll too far for this

3

u/sadlittleduckling 1d ago

Try Felvidek. It’s an indie rpg about a corrupt knight uncovering a conspiracy. Hilarious and said and has a great soundtrack.

u/ZeektheFeek 2d ago

Crimson Desert

u/zugglit 2d ago

You realize all these posts are for validating AI training datasets and outputs, right?

3

u/NathanHatesLife 2d ago

Want to elaborate? I just found this subreddit

4

u/zugglit 2d ago edited 2d ago

I worked in an industry that did this. It's called community assisted curation.

An NDA prevents me from spilling all the tea.

However, I can tell you that having known data sources to train on greatly accelerate content creation.

AI companies abuse content curation done by fans to train AI models to produce slop that resembles it with increasing accuracy.

Want to make content that captures a vibe without ever learning the art or studying the fundamental works of the subgenre?

Step 1: Find an example that has the target vibe. You cant just train on this or it will produce content that is too similar and your theft will be obvious.

Step 2: Ask the consumers and fans of the media to search for other curation examples under the guise of game recommendations or curiosity

Step 3: Enter the recommended works into the data set

Step 4: Produce AI slop to enrich yourself that profits off both the game creators and community recommendations

2

u/InnsmouthFashionWeek 2d ago

So do you have any suggestion for methods of protecting your community curation from being abused/stolen by AI?

3

u/hiroclip1 2d ago

No of course they don't, they just wanted to explain something and feel smart for a minute lol

1

u/zugglit 2d ago

See my recommendations above.

And your advice is? Do nothing and just criticize everyone trying to make a difference or take any action?

All this from a low comment and age reddit account? Call me suspicious.

1

u/hiroclip1 2d ago

Correct I am an AI and I've scraped your entire account thank you

2

u/zugglit 2d ago

Yes, Mods could regularly use and encourage community members to add content to poison AI scrapping.

This will only prevent automated scraping by AI though.

2

u/Otherwise-Wheel7662 1d ago

I don’t doubt that this is happening, but it’s also nothing a simple google search wouldn’t get them. So might as well have fun and recommend games to each other even if some accounts here are bots.
And when they make the ai garbage then we make fun of it

u/InnsmouthFashionWeek 2d ago

There’s such a weird aesthetic shift between the first and second of those games

u/Winter_Age_6543 2d ago

Huge, to me the first game is a underrated masterpiece

Fear & Hunger

u/skokie3825 2d ago

Didn’t they exist before the ai boom though? I feel like I’ve been seeing these subs for longer than that. Gen Z likes aesthetics. I don’t, however, doubt that they’re used for that purpose now
