CavemanWhat are your favorite horror/spooky games?
AusterDreaming Sarah pulls in the bizarre and the uncanny. Parasite Eve is survival horror if limited resources while facing off things with horror themes is your thing. Mary Skelter trilogy may have a few clashing genres, but on the horror side, well, exploring uncanny mazes while being chased by pretty much immortal guards strikes your fancy?
Can't remember many else rn
Oh, right, though not directly horror-oriented, metroidvanias often borrow from horror elements, like the grotesque from Blasphemous, the gothic horror style from Castlevania/Bloodstained, the melancholic decay/abandonment of Hollow Knight, the physical corruption of Minoria, etc.
So maybe worth checking, or strats too far from the desired?
