Are there any video games that have this kind of artstyle?

Are there any video games that have this kind of artstyle?

Early cgi, surreal setting, nightmarish characters, but very subtle and more creepy than outright scary?

The Void sort of
Or perhaps American McGee's Alice

This isn't 3D but it has a permeating creepiness, surreal setting, and nightmarish creatures.
OFF is a good game

The Desolate Hope.

>>340079098
Yume Nikki if you can invest time in it without cuides. Same thing with .Flow

Pizza Fun Land had that feel you are looking for.
Also check World.com, some anons went to explore it back when /v/ was half good and reading what they found was exciting

Check out Dreams by Media Molecule.

As much hate as it gets around here, Five Nights at Freddy's is exactly what you described. The atmosphere is more unsettling and scary than the actual jumpscares. Also The Desolate Hope is you just want creepy.

somewhat on topic, but this thread reminded me of a weird youtube video someone linked i think on /v/ of some really old school CG of a fast food joint or something. I can't remember what it was about, but it was really trippy and surreal

I wish I could explain more of it. there was nothing particular to it and I dont think it was from a game or anything

Nah not really it's just that EM is exactly what he asked for and me and two people suggested it at the same time and people are acting weird about it cuz the game itself is weird.

It's https://youtu.be/XLshKts3vL4

Jokes aside, it's a must play if you like point and clicks.
>>
>>340085223
The joke is that two people posted the same thing in rapid succession, so they must be part of a hivemind. It's been a thing on /v/ for a long time now, you just replace the hive in hivemind with whatever was posted.

Back on topic, there was a PS1 horror game I used to love. It was a point and click adventure, took place on a boat, and a loli ghost chased you around. I think it was like... Midnight Echo? Something like that. It had the same kind of uncanny valley visuals that OP is looking for.

American McGee's Alice.
Def. not a very good game, just decent.
But the artstyle is what kept me going until the end. Its almost hyponitizing and creepy.
I think it really fits your description OP.

Dont bother with Alice Madness Returns though.
>>
Baroque
>>
Rama
Ross recently did a video on it, and it seems perfect for what you're looking for
>>
>>340085707
That's Echo Night. I remember that old man chasing you in a very slow manner with a knife in his hand, repeating "run, kid, run" A lot of PS1 titles will give you the vibe you are looking for. I can suggest Baroque, Paranoiascape and Hellnight.

Also, Eastern Mind is more /vr/ than it's /v/.

>>340085996
If you download this, everything's ready to go. Otherwise you have to install Win 3.1 on Dosbox and hunt down the game yourself.

FF7's cutscenes and backgrounds give off that vibe.

>>340086648
Is there a translation patch for the Saturn/PS1 version? I love the Wii version so I've been meaning to try the original out but the game's already super obtuse to navigate even with a translation.

Original is MUCH better, better art and combat. Unfortunately no English version exists of the saturn/ps1 version in any capacity.
>>
Not really what you're asking for but the ending of Scratches scared the fucking shit out of my when I played it 10 years ago. CG is shit but when it was pitch black in my room in the middle of the night I just couldn't handle it. Especially since the entire game is a build up to this.

>>340087252
That game was so fucking obtuse. It had 6 endings and I only got one. I should go back and replay it. Also, I should mention Illbleed and D series by Kenji Eno.

>>340087795
I never managed to run this. Always wanted to play it since I love The Residents. Tried to run it in Dosbox and VM, it makes them both crash for me.

Fug, I guess trying to fumble through something like Baroque with my preschool-tier nippon might be an interesting experience though.

Any notable differences between the PS1 and Saturn versions? Only asking because the PS1 version is easier to get ahold of since it's on the Japanese PSN.

If you want unsettling horror in general rather than specifically CGI artwork, check out some RPGMaker horror games.

Yume Nikki and its derrivative works are the best for atmosphere, but OFF and Space Funeral have actual gameplay.
>>
>>340088896
I believe the saturn version is said to be superior tp the ps1 version but I forgot why. I believe it was that the ps1 version is a port of the saturn version and just runs worse. Sorry I don't know the specifics.
