I've just started an Indie Horror Youtube channel as my choice of Midlife Crisis endeavours. :)

I just started playing Backrooms 1998, but plan to delve into the whole Backrooms genre as it's not something I've played before.

What should I play after this?

Any new cheap indie horror game with survival fun elements like resident evil 7,8,4?

Since there is an ongoing steam sale, I’m looking for old school looking survival/psychological horror with decent combat and nice exploration. Any ideas?

As much I loved SH2, nothing beats the OG SH game for me. It's what got me into survival horror.

I recently found a demo and Super Dark Deception available too. Are they planning to port the gamd soon?

Hi. I heard a lot about mouthwashing and I'm a big fan of artsy psychological stuff so i know for a fact that i will like it. The problem is i don't play horror games like ever and usually don't watch horror movies. Within scary stuff i only have a big problem with heavy gore (like the saw franchise or just slasher films) and body horror. I would like to know if you think I'll be ok with mouthwashing. Thanks

Since the game is on sale I wanted to check it out. It’s on sale for PS5 and Switch, and I don’t really have allegiance to either so I’m wondering if there’s any performance issues or bugginess with either console.

Please use this thread to discuss what games you've been playing lately. If you'd like to make it *really* convenient turn the game name into a hyperlink that sends people to the store!

Just for you fellow horror enthousiasts, I recently played this game for that it wasn’t that expensive. Didn’t expect much of it but ending up liking is more then SOMA. Not to say that it is the better game or has a better story, I just liked the vibe of the game more.

So it is a walking simulator, some parts are actually annoying and it is really slow. But the music is really good, the sound effects in general as well, even though I turned some down for that they are a bit too loud of overdone.

For me this didn’t matter that much, I liked it and especially the atmosphere kept me going.

So definitely not for everyone, but for me Yes!

I can handle the games above (all remastered versions). Which games would you recommend that are similarly or only slightly more scary?

So far I’ve played: Until Dawn, Alien Isolation, The Quarry, Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village. Any recommendations? Cheers and happy December 1st!

Edit: I have a PlayStation 4!

I just finished playing Alan wake 2. It was my first horror game I ever played and I loved it. Looking forward to recommendations for the next horror game. I really loved the story and the puzzles in AW2.

I'm looking for games where you play as the monster and I don't mean PVP games where you have a chance to play as the monster sometimes or any games which is temporary State I mean permanently you're hunting other people in a story type of mode or you're actively playing like a xenomorph or something like that. I know about the old games I'm looking for newer stuff. DBD does not count! If you can help that would be lovey

So i'm looking for a co op horror game i can play with friends. We've got a couple online games, mainly dbd currently, but we want to try something else. We enjoyed silent hill, so maybe something in that direction? Basically, story games but able to co op. If 2 players or more doesn't matter.

Tired of games that shy away from scares in favor of puzzles with a thin atmosphere that rarely pays off.

Stuff like Faith: The Unholy Trinity, Mortuary Assistant, Psalm 5:9-13, No One Lives Under The Lighthouse

Also, side query: Any weird stuff like Water Womb World and Home Safety Hotline would appreciated as well

I’m bored and haven’t found anything good recently besides mouthwashing lol, and I haven’t played a good horror game in years (excluding RE)

I like indie horror, I hate most mascot horror (i believe it’s not actually horror it’s just usually kids games with jumpscares) big fan of games like resident evil and little nightmares.

What exactly was Jimmy doing to Curly in that chair with the hand wheels? I couldn’t really understand what was going on

Im referring to the cool green jacket Alan Wake, James Sunderland, Sebastian, and Ethan Winters wear.

Is it just a coincidence?

Played it yesterday and loved the atmosphere, cinematography, and story of the game. The old PS1 style graphics mixed with haunting visuals and extremely cinematic moments really hooked me and I want more of that. So if anyone has recommendations that would be appreciated.

I couldn't find The Directors ID card. I m stuck in houses of Parliament because can't find ID card.

O jogo que é point and click foi postado recentemente no canal "Alanzoka" e é de terror. Ele começa com o personagem preso em uma sala a qual você tem que escapar. Nisso você vai explorando a mansão até que em uma parte do jogo tem um monstro (eu acho) que começa a te caçar e assim vai se desenvolvendo.
Queria jogar mas não consegui acha-lo :(

I'm looking for recommendations of old horror games, like Resident Evil and Dark Sector.

Hi. I don't play horror or really understand it. From talking with my friends I've seen two very diffrent views on why people like horror develop.

Is the point of horror to be scared, like when you scream on a roller coaster?

Or is the point to overcome your fear? Like when someone with a fear of heights learns to stand on a stepfather with their eyes open?

I say this because as a non horror player I... can sorta understand the second view, but just can't quite comprehend the first.

They are basically action games with monsters as enemies (numerous examples, Alan wake 2 the most recent and blatant), or puzzle games with supposedly creepy themes (visage, madison).

There seems to be no alternative, until you try a real horror game. It's debatable whether horror is even possible with entertainment in itself, but I think we can all make consensus.

I recognize two examples, maybe three, but the latter has yet to confirm its status.

Alien isolation:
Absolutely the best. The full experience is on the highest difficulty. The game teaches you to respect the alien by hook or by crook.

RE1 remake:

A masterful synergy combining fixed camera angles and claustrophobic environments. You have weapons, but you feel helpless. The mansion seems labyrinthine and each save room conveys both calm and ominousness. It has a lot of puzzles, but somehow they feel organic with the design of the mansion. For me the best of the whole saga.

Forbidden siren at times:

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The atmosphere coupled with the music and topped by the stealth, deliver super strong moments. Then the game betrays a bit its proposal with the design of some levels.

Games I want to give a second and third chance to:

Fatal frame series:

The lore is too interesting to pass up. What puts me off is the combat mechanic with the camera, it feels a bit silly to tell the truth.

Amnesia series:
The prototype of puzzle games that make you go round and round the same place without knowing what to do. However, Amenesia the bunker is compared to Alien isolation and I'm willing to go the extra mile and enter its world.
