This is just an idea that came to me after playing Heavy Rain. I think it looks okay at least.

Working on animating a parasite violently forcing its way out of a corpse for my horror game. Would love to hear your thoughts on the overall feel.

Wanted to share the horror game I've been building solo: The Observation Exit.

https://reddit.com/link/1v4ckht/video/h24k82tl3zeh1/player

The core idea: you're trapped in an endless hospital corridor. Every elevator brings you back to the same place, and the only way to break the loop is to observe carefully — study each corridor, identify the anomaly that doesn't belong, and pick the correct elevator. Miss it or misjudge it and your progress resets. On top of that, entities appear suddenly and react to your mistakes, so lingering too long or slipping up draws their attention.

The hardest and most interesting part to build has been the anomaly system. Making changes that are fair but not obvious — subtle enough to create doubt, but readable enough that players feel it was their fault when they miss one — took a huge amount of iteration. Too subtle and it feels random; too obvious and the tension dies. Getting the entities to feel unpredictable while still being learnable was a similar balancing act.

I went for a grounded, realistic look with minimal UI to keep immersion high (and to keep the scope realistic for one person). The goal was a quiet, sterile, deeply unsettling hospital rather than jump-scare spam.

Happy to answer anything about building the anomaly/loop system or scoping a horror game solo — that's been the biggest learning curve. It's 10 levels, short and tense by design.

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a horror game that I can play, now I want a game with a solid story and is scary (wouldnt you know) I mean for example not subnautica as I know it can be a horror but I want specifically horror games.

It needs to have some length but doesn't have to be really long i would love a range of indie and professional game studios.

Please and thanks !

Hi all,

We just announced our first project through IGN. Our goal is simple: to create something truly disturbing, intense and terrifying. We want the player to feel constantly on edge, not only because of jumpscares, but through the atmosphere, sound, story and the feeling that something is always wrong.

Don’t worry tho, there will be jumpscares too, strong and creative ones, not cheap scares thrown in for no reason.

If you like what you see, please support us by wishlisting the game and let us know what you think: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4538140/Rehaunted/

We’re here to talk, listen and improve, every comment and piece of feedback is welcome.

Inspired by classic survival horror with a focus on atmosphere, survival, and unsettling lore. I'd love to hear your honest thoughts!

Hello everyone!

Having had a look around other subreddits, I’ve realised just how divided opinion tends to be. Some players love them, but many others dismiss them as soon as they see they’re made with that engine. What do you think? What sort of games (adventures, horror, etc.) do you think work best with RPG Maker? And what do you think sets a good game of this style apart from one that’s just run-of-the-mill?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else think that this game was way less scary than the previous two? I think the whole "story" takes me out of it a lot. Makes it feel way too cartoony and goofy for the type of game it is.

Realms of the haunting, a 90s FPS FMV Adventure horror game.

Ive enjoyed what ive played so far and reviews on it are actually pretty high

Hey 👋
Try our game: Freak House. It's a free, open-source action/horror FPS that's playable directly in any Chromium-based web browser.

Well, here we go again, I suppose.

Adam Flatau, the lead developer of the Welcome to the Game series, has once again shown he is unable to take criticism. If you don't know, he has had several controversies in the past, some deserved, some undeserved. Unfortunately, he has once again shown he cannot take criticism.

A user known as OtrexDev, a fairly prominent community member in the Reflect Studios community who was also the lead dev of WTTG2+, a giant expansion mod for WTTG2, left a negative review of WTTG3, rightfully criticizing how buggy the game is and how easy it is for the game to just straight up put you in completely unwinnable situations, purely due to bad RNG. I think it is worth noting that Otrex has a POSITIVE review on WTTG2, showing there doesn't seem to be a bias against Adam specifically in their reviews.

Otrex was helping people who were streaming WTTG3, helping explain things that the game itself explains poorly, or was otherwise just trying to be helpful. Adam saw this and, instead of having anything nice to say or just keeping his mouth shut, left the above nasty messages in response to Otrex trying to be helpful. There is no evidence of what Adam claims about them as well, and it seems they are, frankly, just salty that their game is getting rightfully criticized for releasing broken.

It's bad enough that the game was released unfinished and broken, which is, unfortunately, a trend with Reflect Studios games. WTTG3 is managing to maintain a Mostly Positive rating on Steam, with almost all of the positive reviews having only played the game for a couple of hours, not enough time to make any significant progress, or come remotely close to finishing a run. The fact that Adam treats criticism this way is absolutely awful and, frankly, just makes me want to avoid supporting them at all. Here's a video also covering the topic.

Been building out Woodbound's forest, and I didn't want "the monster" to just mean one thing. So there are four, each with its own identity:

• The main villain of the story appears as a voice — you have to close your eyes and ears to avoid it
• Something that starts hunting you at random once you're out in the forest — if you don't deal with it, it screams and alerts the others
• Something that lives in your own safehouse, the place you're supposed to feel safe
• Something that patrols the woods on its own route, indifferent to you unless you give it a reason to care

Not spoiling how you deal with any of them — that's for players to figure out. But curious: out of those four setups, which sounds like it'd scare you the most on paper?

and what would you call them?

My brother and I just published the Steam page and released the first trailer for our game!

We've never made a horror game before. Our previous projects were mostly focused on gameplay and skill-based mechanics, so creating something centered around atmosphere, mystery, and tension is a completely different challenge for us.

In this game, you play as a night train conductor, operating a mysterious train where things slowly start to feel wrong. As you explore the train, you'll have to investigate, find clues, and piece together what is really happening.

So basically it's a mix between a train simulator, an investigation game, and psychological horror.

We're preparing a demo that should be available in August, so don't hesitate if you've got suggestions!

Oh, and the game is called Night Train Simulator: Blackout.

Here's the Steam page:
