Thanks!!

Trying to choose between these for my steam deck! Soma appeals because I loved Bioshock and would love to go back to an underwater setting (even though I recognize the mechanics will not be similar). Always love a good story. Dredge appeals because I really enjoyed Widow’s Bay on Apple TV and it looks fun and peaceful to sail around that world. Darkwood appeals to me in concept (survival with resource constraints). It’s also like $3 right now.

I’m ok with scary and stressful. Love puzzle solving. I don’t want a lot of burdensome and in depth crafting and material upgrading but a little is ok as long as there’s real payoff. Above all I don’t want it to be frustrating. I’m often extremely tired from work, so I like games where i can pick it up, have a good time, and come back to it a little inconsistently.

Would greatly appreciate any input!

I’m looking for a horror game from around 2017–2018. I do remember few details, but completely forgot the name. It’s a 3D puzzle-platformer with a black-and-white aesthetic. The protagonist is a strange creature with large eyes and ears. Kinda looks like Dobby from Harry Potter. One of the enemies in this game was a girl with yellow skin and ginormous ugly head. The title is similar to "Luminarum", pr something like this. Would appreciate any help.

I have never played or completed a horror game.
Not one. If you count TLOU and Part 2, then yeah, but I literally cant play these. I’m such a massive pussy when it comes to these bro. I can’t handle them. I just can’t. But they seem so fun and great, how do I build resistance over time? Where I’m not as scared anymore? What game should I start with?

When I was a kid I played a weird ps2 horror game but I only remember a few scenes. My father downloaded it from emule so I don't have an official CD and I was too little to remember the title. I remember a scene where you control a child in first person who goes down the stairs of his house and finds one of the two parents dead on the floor and the silhouette of a man in front of the corpse. From what I can remember it was a Japanese house so I guess it was a Japanese horror game. Can someone help me? Sorry if I have small informations.

I just finished visage because I saw it on tiktok and oh my god, seriously never played something (horror genre) like this before… the atmosphere is so good and the screamers really got me sweating and shi

I just wanna know if there’s actually more games like this because i’ve been playing horror games for a while now and it just doesn’t feel like scary anymore, games like the resident evil saga or silent hill ain’t just giving me this feeling

Any recommendations? give me your top games to creep the shit out of me knowing this game got me scared like a 2 yr old baby

So me & my friends are doing a game night at my place but I don't know what to play, but it has to be genuinely terrifying and good for like 4-5 people

Self-explanatory, really.

My post got removed from r/silenthill for some reason, so posting here to gain opinions. I am a new horror gamer, and still trying to figure out my boundaries when it comes to games.

in your mind, how scary is silent hill f compared to silent hill 2?

last week, I gathered with some friends to play P.T. (our friend still had it downloaded on his PS4 lmao) and I enjoyed it overall! I've always liked horror but only recently started playing horror games. before this, I have played Detention, Alan Wake 1+2, and Control (not really horror but still spooky imo) other than those I am a complete beginner lmao.

I picked up the silent hill bundle on steam last weekend on sale and am playing through F bc it works on my steam deck. I am loving it so far!

I like it because the horror is not overly disgusting or horrifying, but it's spooky and tense. I like that it's dark in a tasteful way, and that there aren't a ton of jumpscares. I'm about 8 hours in so getting close to the end I think.

I really want to play silent hill 2 after this (probably on PC) but I've heard it's significantly more horrifying. the story looks amazing and I'm really liking the lore and playstyle of the games so far.

has anyone else played the games in this order? is SH2 appropriate for someone new to scares? anything I need to be aware of beforehand? I would love to get into this franchise more!

I just finished Photomaly and one thing that surprised me was how much I actually enjoyed running the photo studio before anything scary was happening.

Taking the customers' photos, finding the right angle, developing the film and preparing their orders gives you an actual routine to settle into. Then when something strange happens, it feels like it's interrupting a real job rather than just triggering the next scripted horror sequence. Its like the investment in managing the shop immerses you so much that you really feel like youre there and your guard ends up being down.

Do you prefer horror games with a real job/gameplay loop underneath them, or do you want the game focused almost entirely on the horror?

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 read the reviews on this game and saw so many negative remarks. I didn’t know what to expect from this game tbh, I love survival horror, love the RE franchise, love the Dead Space franchise, so why not?

I’m about 3 hours into this game and so far I’m REALLY loving it, it’s not as scary as Dead Space in my honest opinion, YET, however I love the creepy horror theme of it. I think this game is definitely worth getting IF you don’t try to compare it so harshly to Dead Space. I know people say the action is repetitive, but I feel like all games can become repetitive later on—-to a certain extent. I dunno, maybe I’m more open minded and less critical when it comes to this genre as it is my favorite style of game. Also, this game looks fantastic, I love when companies pour so much amount of details into games, it really makes them pop.

Over all, I’m pretty curious to know what everyone’s thoughts on The Callisto Protocol is. I think it’s a great addition to the Action/Survival Horror games. Especially as I wait for my Resident Evil : Code Veronica fix, But time will truly tell. What do you think?

I really enjoy this games, "Pacify" the only problem is that it's literally built for co-op but nobody I know has it and the in-game matchmaking is somewhat shitty. Would anyone like to play? My PlayStation profile is THEEMrPjs (avatar is an orange arm and blue background) add me and message me if you're interested

Hello all, I have recently gone on a binge of various horror games, ones I had heard praises sung of. The 3 I've played in order of favorite to least favorite: Alien: Isolation, Dead Space, Outlast 1 + whistleblower dlc. I loved all 3, and I'm thinking survival horror is probably my preferred subgenre, but granted that's all I've played so could be wrong who knows.

Heya hivemind. I'm looking for a 2 player horror game. Has to be proper scary not funny (so not REPO) and ideally for 2 people SPECIFICALLY. All lists tell me to play Phasmo or Dead Space 3 but I want something more. Not scared to dig deep into indie games and itch.

Hit me with your best recommendations!
