Topic. In the mood for horror, but also a good story.

Speaking of Silent Hill - how are the other games? Ive only ever played 2.

Deadspace 1/2 better, SH 1 better (trying to find daughter scarier than trying to find wife you already know is dead) RE 7 better. Amnesia/ Prenumbra at least as good

lmao

anyway op, its slim pickings. fatal frame 2 is really good. beyond that you're going to have to really dig for some obscure untranslated stuff like Night of the Sickle Weasel

Fatal Frame 2

Also Fatal Frame 3. I prefer 2 for gameplay but I actually like 3s story best. You need to play 1 and 2 first though. 3 is kinda like an epilogue to both 1 and 2s stories

And the theme is dealing with loss and grief.

I havent played all of those, but I can assure you, the writing in Dead Space, and RE series is nowhere near the level of SH2 lol

If you count TWD Season 1 as horror, it offers a deeper emotional connection but lacks the mystery element. I would put them both at the top

Because guilt over cheating and obvious phallic imagery is so deep. James doesnt even remotely act like a normal human at any point.

It was deep, actually. A lot more so than most games weve ever gotten. One of the best out there.

Dont pretend Angelas trauma is the entire game. The stuff with Mary is what makes Silent Hill 2 interesting

also just because something like that isnt subtle doesnt mean it isnt effective
Pyramid head raping the sexy nurse monsters wasnt all that deep either. And again James himself is the biggest issue, you got a letter from your now corpsified wife to go to this one random vacation town you went to this one time and you decide to go. Then when you get there the first thing you decide to do (with no indication at all you need to) is jam you hand in a toilet and drop some random cans down a trash shoot.

sh2 might not be as deep as many people think but thats no excuse to reccomend dead space, which is like someone taped event horizon and aliens together and filled all other empty space with things making loud noises

Amnesia, SOMA, SH1 and 3 are good stuff.

STALKER is not really horror per se, but the atmosphere is certainly good and has a lot more of a spooky/forboding atmosphere than Metro, its sister series . It's got some of that good ol' Slav Jank to it though, so YMMV. Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat are good. Call of Pripyat doesn't quite have the same atmosphere as Shadow of Chernobyl. Clear Sky is... unnecessary, for lack of a better word.

It's kind of a miraculous game. The Melee of horror

I actually really like Silent Hill: Downpour's story; gameplay is kinda garbo, but the story and atmosphere is pretty damn solid for the most part.

Silent Hill 3 is also quite good, but you need to play SH1 beforehand, 3 is a direct sequel to 1.

Highly, highly recommend Detention. I know it's on Steam. Not sure what else. Point and click. Really great story. Straight up loved it. One of the best horror games I've played.

And it's on a great sale.
