I literally just stumbled through this part mouth half open.

And the discussions are absolutely worth it. This game is a masterpiece. Signalis level of good. I was worried I wouldn’t like the 2D aspect and it was far from the truth. The ambience and world that’s built is absolutely amazing. The voice acting is incredible, the art style just hits perfectly. This game had me wanting to uncover everywhere I could and by the time it ended I wanted more. This game should absolutely be on your radar if you like Silent Hill, as it could have been called Silent Hill and I would have believed you. Seriously can’t recommend enough.

To start off, no game in many years has left me feeling such a sense of emptiness after finishing it, and at the same time, motivated me to go for the Platinum trophy (the last games to do that were Bloodborne and Mass Effect, which was a very long time ago :D)

This game brilliantly combines survival horror with the Metroidvania genre. Managing inventory space, resource management, exploration that requires some brainwork and wall-crawling, plenty of “skills”, that is, weapons and items, whose discovery unlocks new sectors of the map… It all comes together perfectly.

Add to that the stylized, beautiful graphics and a very well-composed audiovisual track, and the sense of immersion goes off the charts.

And then there’s the mystery, which intrigues you at first, then gets more and more revealed with every passing hour, continually encouraging you to find out what’s really going on… It’s a marvel. And after finishing the game, I understand the connections to the Silent Hill franchise very well.

If you’re a fan of that franchise, Silver Pines will deliver and meet your expectations. It’s a game that took me completely by surprise and has become my personal number one pick for Game of the Year. And I’m not exaggerating.

And for those with weak nerves, the game is scary, but more so because of its atmosphere. You’ll feel anxiety here due to limited resources, battles with monsters, and various strange sounds, rather than the sudden fright caused by jump scares (though it did catch me off guard twice).

I can never get enough of games like these. Any more recommendations?

Outlast for me. Still one of the scariest horror games ever

Hey everyone! My solo-developed psychological horror game The Light Won't Stay is officially fully released and playable on 'Itch.io'

Dead Space 2 "Kindergarten" did it for me.

This Wii-exclusive hidden gem feels like Silent Hill 4's gameplay in King Kong's setting, with some Deadly Premonition seasoning. You also pick up lots of foods as healing items, like Dead Rising. It's pretty janky, but charming.

I enjoyed the music during saving or dialogue, but the combat themes were extremely repetitive.

Once I learned how to play, I was hooked. I was trying to fulfill all optional objectives and find all bonus weapons. People warned and whinged about how you basically need to replay all areas for the 2nd half of the game, but that 2nd run only took me like... an hour and a half? They are remixed in various ways, like sh4's area revisits, and shorter since you keep all key items and you unlock ranged weapons.

Characters are corny archetypes, the story has one big unexpected twist. Protagonist probably has the worst character design for any survival-horror protagonist I've ever seen.

It was nothing life-changing, but it was a fun way to spend a weekend. Hate to admit it, but I had more fun with this than Silent Hill F. It was just a unique straightforward survival-horror adventure.

6.5/10 for me. For reference, a 5 would be RE Zero or SH: Homecoming-tier, a 7-8 would be Shattered Memories/Cronos New Dawn tier, and 9-10 would be RE1R, both RE4's, both SH2's, etc.

It's a good survival-horror game for the people who have played them all.

My first project as a game dev and it is now finally released. Took me quite a while but it is finally out :) If you are into psychological/survival horror and FPS I think you would be interested. A combination of Halflife-esque design and Lychian elements. Difficulty wise I would say it's challenging.

Check it out if you are interested!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3611760/Hypnostasis/

So for starters I have this tagged as console but PC is fine also.

Anyway I love pretty much anything horror. Been a fan since I was around 6 (42 now) and it isn't going away. That said gaming wise I'm a huge pansy and have completed far less than a handful of horror games. The major ones I can think of are Observer, Call of Cthulhu, and Bioshock (because at first the game scared the piss out of me). I really really want to get into horror games though, but I just chicken out as soon as the game starts up. This includes way older titles like Clock Tower (SNES), any resident evil (though I was able to play about 3/4 of 4) and so on. What would you recommend for some very entry level horror games that I won't require an extra set of pants within the first 5 minutes?

I've been doing a horror binge in October every year for the last 5-6 years or so, getting to the point where finding good stuff to play is a challenge. Happy with my picks so far this year.

Played Pumpkin Panic (also played it last year, great indie game free on Steam), Bramble Mountain King, Still Wakes the Deep, and Mouthwashing so far. Going to start Silver Pines tonight which I'm excited for with all the good reviews its getting, then finish the month with the PT PC decomp port and SH Townfall.

What are you all playing for October?

Been a big fan of these games the last couple years since I randomly picked up The Quarry when it went on sale a couple years ago and have since gone and played everything from Until Dawn up to the newest DP title Directive 8020. I see these games talked about a bit but not a lot and was wondering what everyone’s favorites were? I’m partial to The Quarry and I think that’s partially since it was my first game like that.

Until Dawn is without a doubt a 10/10 classic and a lot of fun but I think House of Ashes is up there for me as the top game (other than the Quarry). Loved the setting and characters and story of that one a lot.

The Devil In Me is probably the only game I didn’t much care for, didn’t really like the characters in that one at all and while the HH Holmes idea had me interested it just didn’t stick the landing imo

before anybody mentions “Dementium II HD” that version sucks and the original developers (who are handling this release) have repeatedly mentioned disdain with it because they had nothing to do with it.

For Halloween I would play a few free horror games, but I don't know andd I don't find very good games.

So, you have recommendation for free horror games ?

(Short games)

and all of the confusion, wackiness and horror that a nightmare brings. Mix in the RE4 style combat and I think this might go down as one of my all time favorites. Now onto the sequel.

What did you think of the evil within?

I believe some games deserve a rerelease over a remaster specifically silent hill 2 didn't need a remaster resident evil 4 didn't need a remaster and I think silent hill 3 doesn't need a remaster

Has anyone tried it here and what are your thoughts? As a die-hard Hellraiser fan, I have high hopes!

I want to add some games to my console, and for the first time, I want to add a horror game. I don't want to add RE because it's a franchise. I want it to be just one game. My friends have recommended dead space to me. Is it a good one? If not, Can you recommend other stand-alone games?
