horror game hidden gems?

Darkwood, one of this week's current Epic Store freebies, is supposed to be quite a good horror game.

If you like walking sims then Devotion is a good shout. Currently playing though it atm.

PS1 thrillkill?

I don't think it ever got an official UK release, was a bit gory lol

Never got released officially anywhere. Bootlegged versions were released online though, I remember getting it just after I chipped my ps1.

My mate came round for a LAN and I made him play FEAR 2 and it was hilarious (for me). He hit escape, threw his headset off going "nope nope nope nope" had his first Alma encounter
made me close the curtains to the conservatory after that and we went back on CSS.

I still rate Amnesia tbh, especially with all the custom content out there, there's been some incredible creations.

love all the fear games asept fear 3 lol

Signalis is great if you don't mind the retro aesthetic.

SIGNALIS on Steam

A classic survival horror experience set in a dystopian future where humanity has uncovered a dark secret. Unravel a cosmic mystery, escape terrifying creatures, and scavenge an off-world government facility as Elster, a technician Replika searching for her lost dreams.

You've probably already played it but i'll mention it anyway, Devotion, really enjoyed this unique psychological horror game, not that long as well and can probably finish it in one sitting.

Edit - never mind, someone already mentioned it.

Chris's spelling is giving me the horrors

 

[dazzlaa]

If you have VR, then definitely get 'Propagation'. It is free on steam, and it is genuinely horrendous to play

Some old gems if you don't mind emulation (use PCem)

Dark Seed - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Seed_(video_game)
Sanitarium - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitarium_(video_game)

Might be on Steam / GOG but I like playing them as originals

There's something about playing horror games in DOS (real or emulated) that make horror games scarier.
Firing up horror game from an empty black screen with flashing cursor, playing the game then it exiting back to nothing but blackness.

Gaming on Windows in the mid 90s was so much more soothing

Can we get a name change for Chris to Chris "lol" Blackford?
