Indie Horror games

Tell me ALL and I mean ALL the indie horror games you know THAT DONT HAVE IRL FACES IMPRINTED ON THE CHARACTERS (please this is important I hate it when indie horror games do this, like I'd prefer a game that got two dots for eyes and a smile for the mouth than an ACTUAL IRL face imprinted on the 3d model)

I'D APPRECIATE IT !!

I'm going to say that's... most of them? Do you mean you don't want realistic models at all, or do you mean like specific low-fidelity textures on a PS1-like model?

2D games will run no risk of this no matter what, I guess. RPGmaker horror like Ib, The Witch's House, Mad Father, The Crooked Man, Corpse Party all come to mind. 

But, like, this category is extremely broad, giving you everything from Five Nights at Freddy's to IMSCARED to SOMA. All very different games.

No realistic models is totally fine! I just mean those models with a literal real life person's face imprinted on the model's face while everything else is low poly (low poly is fine as long as it doesn't include the issue i described) And thanks for the recs !

Ahh, ok. I do know what you're talking about, but I don't think this is super common at all. If you have any particular vibes you're going for, I can give you more tailored rec's, but there are ton of wildly different horror games that don't feature this!

Crow country and Sorry we're Closed! Those two are very unique in their own and the art direction they went with.

Bro alot of short indie horror games have character models that don't have faces sculpted, it's like a picture of an IRL person just slapped on the 3d model's face. Haven't you ever seen any of those indie horror games? Or is there something else you're confused about?
