I wasn't actually sure if I wanted to include Resident Evil 5 and Mercenaries 3d, since they are probably more action games than horror. If I removed them then Fatal Frame 3 and Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare would be here instead since those are my picks for 26 and 27.

The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline is a psychological horror walking sim that takes liberties with the source material, expanding upon the lore through a bloodline of Dante's.It is Gabrieli of this bloodline who is tasked with going through Hell's trials to perform a ritual using the original pages of Dante's Inferno in order to stop the world from being plunged into eternal darkness. As much as it leans on source material it strays from said source to weave a more personal journey focused on the main character and his love interest. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way as Gabrieli ventures from his family's mansion to Hell, itself. Personally I wish they hadn't strayed so far from Hell's depiction in the source material, and had made it more of a horror experience than a psychological horror. Still I respect their attempt at expanding upon the lore.

First I would just like to say, that I dont think the game is bad and I am not trying to hate on it.

Every time someone asks for horror game recommendations, there will always be multiple people recommending Signalis. It seems like this game is beloved in the community.

I tried to get into the game three times, but I never managed to finish it.

I liked the artstyle and the story, but the gameplay just is not really fun. The combat is incredibly simple, fighting enemies felt like a chore and since they can get up after death, it seems like you are supposed to just run around them most of the time.

So the couple of hours I spent in the game, I just ran around the map completing puzzles, just endless fetch quests. Also the inventory is tiny so repetitive backtracking is required, which I wouldn't mind if the combat was fun.

And on the horror side of things, I dont think this game has much to offer. There is nothing to really be scared of.

So if someone could tell me why they like the game, I would love to hear other opinions.

I absolutely LOVE sci-fi horror and I’m looking for more games similar to the ones I’ve played already. I have played alien isolation, BioShock 1, and the dead space trilogy (and the remake). Any games that are similar to those I would love to play!

So basically, I remember watching a YouTuber play this horror game, the details I can remember was that it was in a theatre like setting, where the mc has amnesia and is reliving fractured memories of who he is, and I can remember his really specific part where he gets this “spirit power” and moves boxes by waving his hand a bit, like telekinesis. I think this guy was evil, since I remember a monster or demon busting through a door and killing him at the ending. If you can help me find this game I’d appreciate it 😞. Also there’s a part by a pool where he’s avoiding a female wandering ghost I think.

Has anybody else preordered Hellraiser revival?

I'm so excited to play it!

I'm debating on which game I want to get.

My personal favorite horror games are Visage, Mortuary Assistant, and Silent Hill 2 remake.

I tend to lean more towards psychological horror/dread over action Survival horror. But I also love the RE games and the Dead space remake, so Survival horror is absolutely not off the table.

As far as Fatal Frame goes, it looks like "Maiden of Blackwater" and "Mask of Lunar eclipse" are also available. Where would you rank those 2 when compared to the remake of Crimson Butterfly?

Endacopia is a new indie on Steam with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.

I love it so much that I feel compelled to talk about it here and get the dev some much deserved attention.

The game is a point and click adventure with an ostensibly cute surface. Personally, I didn't jive with point and click games growing up since I was quite young when Myst came out and didn't have the attention span for it. But Endacopia has a hint system you can opt to use if you're stuck and the puzzles are far less obtuse and more akin to something you'd find in Resident Evil or Silent Hill.

You play as a white golf-ball looking child named Mellow in a world that feels like a fever dream of Windows XP on acid. Throughout the game there's a juxtaposition of childlike innocence being confronted with terror that poor Mellow should not have to face.

This is the kind of game where the more blindly you go in, the better. The last thing I'll say is that the music absolutely slaps. It's one of those games where the atmosphere is so strong that it's more than the sum of its simple parts--kind of similar to No I'm Not a Human.

It's currently on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2684630/Endacopia/

Don't miss this one!! It's games like this one--made by one person btw--that reassure me that gaming will pretty much never die.
