Good /x/ tier games? Pic related
>>17800978
I've recently enjoyed playing Outlast.
Lots of blood! And some gore, but who cares about gore, amiright?
>>17800978
Holy shit that game, currently doing a Ranger Hardcore run. One of my recently favorite games. Will read the novel once I'm done with this playthrough.
>>17801035
Outlast was thrilling
Have you played the "Whistleblower" Add-on?
I can only recommend IAMSCARED.exe
Sounds like a cheap Creepypasta rip-off but it's a decent short game with several spooks
>>17801071
Indeed it was, Whistleblower was great. Remember the guy that tried to make you his wife? lol
>The Ocean Hunter
>Acquatic Adventures of the Last Human on Earth (or something like that)
I like sea monsters
>>17801082
Sadly no, I got too frustrated after getting stuck too often
>>17801090
Quitter!
You must go back and play it, Perhaps play it on Halloween for extra spookiness
>>17800978
>>17801050
The higher the difficulty, the easier the game. Tip: Go sneaky beaky. Throwing knife is best friend.

I say you should, I got it a week ago and I'm enjoying it. Just to say the book and vidya are different.
Vidya= /v/ action game.
Book= paranoia of the dark/unknown, unexplained /x/ happenings.

Anon, get the fuck back in there and finish your descent into madness.
>>17800978
I'd recommend Until Dawn.
Awesome story, nice collection mechanic, creepy atmosphere, and lots of surprises to top it all off.
>>17801071
iamscared is a creepy pasta game basically, it doesnt even do a good job at it.
>>17801643
The UK had a English translation release around 2010. The US got it's release around 2013. The US was basically the last country to get a release and may people in the US got it thru amazon.uk.
I got mine off amazon.com

Deadly Premonition and Xenogears
Both are highly memorable in their own way.
Don't Starve is good /x/ stuff and also my personal favorite game.
SCP Containment Breach.
the whole website from SCP is filled with creepypasta
The Midnight Game.
Annoying as fuck to light a candle, but the game is really good.
Try the "Bad Dream" series.
http://www.indiedb.com/games/bad-dream-butcher/downloads
Something about the original Slender really gets to me.
>>17803088
Try Dream of the Blood Moon. Imagine Slender if the ghost was actually a wandering, stalking presence and you have to solve puzzles while being hunted
I would definitely recommend Miasmata.
It's so serene for the majority of the time and has some good exploration. And knowing that there is only one hostile creature on a pretty big island causes you to let your guard down. The scares are really organic.
Anyone else played it?
>Outlast
Personally I found this really shit, until I turned off the music. Whoever did the sound design removed all tension from the game with over dramatic violins spoiling every potentially scary moment, even alerting you to enemies presence. Once the music was off it became pretty good, though very repetitive and predictable. (Unless you literally never pick up any notes scattered about.)
> Metro (both games)
Very good games, good plots, great environment, more unique paranormal entities than most media. It does a great job at making you breathe a sigh of relief when you reach a friendly station and can take a while to appreciate being around other people and not hiding in the dark.
The AI lets it down though, once you go loud you can't hide again easily because the AI get psychic cheat mode and the stealth mechanics are utterly shit. I don't know when it became a thing that enemies can't see you 5 feet away because you happen to be in a designated "shadow" but this shit has to stop.
The book and it's sequels are all very good, a little slow in places but any seasoned reader will love them.
I recommend the audio books, I listened to them in work and that week flew past so quickly.
>Until Dawn
Fuck this sorry excuse for a game and fuck anyone who actually enjoys this kind of shitty game or film.
>surprises
You gotta be fucking shitting me.
>SCP Foundation
Holy shit are they still developing this piece of shit?
>Miasmata
Decent game, very good considering two brothers made it. Massive map (though basically empty) and the monster is genuinely scary the first couple of times you meet it.
Unfortunately it becomes nothing but a nuisance after an hour or two, and by late game you are absolutely fed up of it. The further you progress the more "present" the monster becomes which means you're yelling "Just fuck off!" because you want to finish the game and get it over with, not from any fear.
cont.
>>17804296
My own suggestions.
>Soma
I really enjoyed this game. Great acting, great story (though, again, predictable as fuck) and it's a game you can fly through in an afternoon and really enjoy. It tried to make you question what is life, what is consciousness etc, but frankly this is low tier shit for anyone who spends time on /x/ so whatever. Still a good game.
>Sunless Sea
Very /x/, very Lovecraftian, but not for everyone. Top down ship sailing/fighting game set in an underground ocean. Very story driven and atmospheric, tonnes of lore and fascinating /x/esque stuff. Great game, but you probably have to enjoy that kind of thing.
>X-Com Enemy Within: Long War
I consider this /x/, it's aliens for fuck's sake. Long War is one of my favourite games/mod/experiences.
I can't recommend X-Com 2 because I found the setting absolutely shit, you feel overpowered, and there's stupid lame exosuits and I'm jaded because it let me down so badly.
>Hard West
I just saw this in my collection and it's full of paranormal stuff. Turn based combat with cowboys who sell their soul to the devil, become undead, kill demons, build and destroy machines that turn everybody for miles around insane...
The combat seems janky at first but you get used to it and it becomes very enjoyable.
Lots of different campaigns following different supernatural people/stories. It's underrated.
I can't really think of much else hugely /x/... but there's certainly a shit load of alien games. Currently enjoying Stellaris and still play Infested Planet from time to time. (Amazing game.)
It's incredibly hard to make a game that's genuinely scary. Outlast and Miasmata are perfect examples. Once you've been scared once, all the tension is immediately released, you will never, ever get that fear back again and enemies quickly become nothing but an annoyance, like a fly that won't leave you alone.
>>17800978
Good one. I still haven't played the 2nd one yet. By the way, check out singularity.
>>17800978

Maybe I'm just not easily scared, but I didn't find 2033 all that scary. Last Light, on the other hand...

>>17801168
Do you mean sneeki breeki
Definetely Manhunt 1.
(The entire game is like a snuff film)
I wouldn't really recommend the second one
AoE 2: Conquerors
with the Age of Vampires mod
Definitely one of the best experiences i've ever had playing videogames, also it feels way more immersive at the hardest difficult, highly recommended
>>17804296

I enjoyed it felt like an early 2000's horror movie.

Thanks, Anon. Getting those last two endings was a bitch.

This mission really ticked me off. The insults the kid threw at my shooting skills didn't really help with the mood.
>Amnesia: The Dark Descent
you gotta play it with headphones and in the dark or else it's not as good
>>17809488
Isn't that game dead?
I always thought Fallout 3 was kinda spooky. Not a horror game, obviously, but it's the most desolate of the fallout series in my opinion. Gives it a creepy vibe.
Ever since PT and Allison Road got the can, I've been following the successor called Visage.

I agree. It was probably the grayness of everything. New Vegas was desolate but was more like just a normal desert.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R has lots of Supernatural things, pretty good. Is not scary (maybe a little bit if you play for the first time and you don't know what are you going to see), but very interesting.
>>17803276
Had a run with it, pretty tough, but intrigueing indeed.
Also a side note, I find Metro Last Light much more enjoyable, only a shame was with the ending system. But a worthwhile experiences non the less.
>>17810621
It's f2p
Shadow Hearts 1 and 2 for occult/magic/lovecraft faggots. They're great.
pumped for the remake
>>17800978
saya no uta is pretty interesting and macabre but I personally think it falls off 2 3rds in, still very good and for a VN is pretty damn short, got every ending in one sitting.
The Path
>>17801669
Best part about the game is the fact that they used most horror movie cliches. They didn't feel out of place, forced or like they were used because they ran out of ideas, they feel better then if they were in a movie.
Still though, there are some fucking awful jumpscares, like when a random ghost woman thing just pops from under the screen only to disappear after she screams. There's a couple other instances of shit like this, but they're not that common and they're easy to ignore.
>>17800978
The I have no mouth and I must scream game is pretty spoopy, it's really rough around the edges since it was made around the time point and click adventure games were getting popular. One of the only games I would reccomned watching a playthrough of since the gameplay is so tedious and awful.

Why did they add this in, anyway? At least put a dummy or something where it was so that it doesn't look like it disappeared into nothing.
Still, I love cinematic-like games. Prime example is pic related. It also had a pretty creepy atmosphere around the two boss areas.
>>17814451
It's stranding.
Also it's a game about sticks and ropes
>>17800978
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
Remember that spooky part with Scarecrow from Batman: Arkham Asylum? It's an entire horror game based around mindfuck mechanics like that (they were also first people to introduce a sanity meter into a horror game).
It's on GameCube, but it's not like a modern gaming PC would have any troubles emulating GC.
Every play this? It's a mindfuck of an rpg. Made by squaresoft also :D
>>17804350
If yu like new X-COM games, definitely play original ones. X-Com: Ufo Defense (aka UFO: Enemy Unknown) and X-Com: Terror from the Deep are basically half horror, half tactical games - combat and fog of war are intentionally designed to spook you, inspired by atmoshpere in X-Files.
>>17801500
>>17801643
2033 was better, bye miles. This was way more character centered for my taste, Metro 203- is a great dark, rich world to explore and to learn from it. The first one did an awesome work showing that, from the daily life, to the power structures and the world both inside and outside of the tube. 2034 lacked all of those things, except, perhaps, they got somehow closer to the emerald city.
>>17800978
I suggest Metal Gear Solid 2 if you're into illuminati shite and the like.
it also breaks the fourth wall in a quite delicious way.

The upholstery guy and the naked chasers are the best.
>>17814167
I luv pathologic, I took a break after making it through the Bachelor's story and half of the Haruspex's story a few months ago, should really go back. Not really scary but the atmosphere is wonderful and the whole game is so interesting.
As always, Fatal Frame. 3 is my fave but they're all good, apart from 5.
Also all the Siren games are fantastic.
>>17810147
I remember constantly changing the look sensitivity because of the fucking wobble, and then realising the kid was on my shoulders. Good times.
LSD Dream Emulator.
>>17800978
Pic related. You play as a ghost and your mission is to spoop the fuck out of a rich family who was inadvertently responsible for your death. You scare each family member out of the house until everyone is so spooped that they have to move to another house. And you follow them house to house. It's funny, but also very dark. I love playing it around Halloween.
Mermaid swamp is short, sweet, and pretty creepy rpg maker classic
>>17812072
I hate this fucking world, too many god damn fuckers in it.
Too many thoughts and different societies all wrapped up together in this fucking place called AMERICA.
Everyone has their own god damn opinion on every god damn thing,
and you may be saying 'Well what makes you so different?'.
Because I have something only me and V have; SELF AWARENESS.
Call it exortenstiolism or whatever the fuck you want.
We know what we are to this world, and what everyone else is.
We learn more than what caused the civil war and how to simplify quadratics in school.
We've been watching you people and we know what you think and how you act.
All talk and no action.
People who are said to be brave or courageous are usually just STUPID,
then they say later that they did it on purpose cause they're brave,
when they did it on fucking accident.
God everything is so corrupt and so filled with opinions and points of view,
and peoples own little agendas and schedules.
This isn't a world any more.
It's H.O.E and no one knows it.
Self awareness is a wonderful thing.

Definitely read the Metro books, they're devoid of the action that runs amok in the game but it's filled to the brim with spoopy.
Also read Roadside Picnic, which is the first book to spawn all this stuff like STALKER, Metro, etc. It's not as supernatural spooky as it is creepy scifi mindfuckery
>>17819523
You should, this game is disgusting. This is some really twisted love we're talking about.
In the middle of remaking this chart
what are some things that should be added/omitted?
>>17815492
those ones were hard on the ole nerves. There were nights I just couldn't play it.
anyone play that online/flash game where some alien species is taking over earth and you find that house and there's that long ass diary you can read from the guy who died? that shit was spooky
>>17821025
just googled it I think it's ex mortis 2
>>17801035
It's actually a problem
>>17801050
I recommend the book highly. I'd honestly say it's one of my favorite books ever written
>>17820878
Add "Evidence: The Last Ritual" to the list.
>>17820480
Metro 2034 is fucking shit compared to 33
Call of Cthulhu and the Penumbra games are my favorites
>>17800978
If you like that one, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series should be something you'd love. Same atmosphere, slightly less railroading. A bit less scary, concentrated more with semi-RPGish getting of better stuff/customization and upgrade of what you have, fighting with post-apoc-styled bandits and acquiring supernatural artifacts.
>>17821433
Hear hear. While it wasn't complete shit overall, I was quite disappointed with 2034. While 2033 was a great book, 2034 seems like an attempt to milk more cash out of the reader and is merely at "meh, passable" level.
>>17820878
Add Outlast,
Dead Space 2,
F.3.A.R,
The Stanley Parable (mindfuck),
and Fran Bow.
>>17821433
>>17822147
2034 was okay, I wouldn't say it was that bad. It's still the only source of Russian urban legend/folklore horror I can find along with its predecessor
>>17815482
Loved the shit out of those games. Used to play them late at night, lights off, alone, volume cranked. I even nailed S rank on survival mode in FF2.
Shame that got sold to Nintendo, as I dislike gimmicky motion controls.
>>17822507

Well obviously he isn't stupid enough to think F.3.A.R was a good game
>>17823291
Resident Evil 7, as in the worst piece of crap that was shit out of Capcom's dlc-filled anus?
It's the only RE game I don't have in my collection anymore. Fuck that shit.
>>17820878
Perhaps you can help me find a game, not a scary game more gore oriented.
It was a third person shooter, where the player would loose body parts wen taking damage, Up do just a rolling head, you could recover the body parts by rolling over them. I think the protagonist was fighting demons. Can't remember if he had a coat or not, but sems like he did.
Thanks in advice, to contribute: I say Siren, but was already mentioned.

The forest
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vaQoJLRPBxg
Need more games with self defense.
Dying Light was pretty run of the mill zombie fare, but it has some tense moments. The gameplay is actually pretty good, but the story is atrocious.
I've been trying out the old The Thing game, it's predictable but the devs understand that and somebody might make a decent successor someday.
I like having the option to defend myself, because it gives you the opportunity to figure out if defending yourself is even viable. The first time I tried to use a pistol on an alien in Alien Isolation, just to see that it had barely any effect, that feeling was priceless. Pathologic did that too in a way, the pistol was very limited and couldn't handle numbers very well. While the rest of the games went against the very notion, the Dead Space series has a notable enemy who regenerates after all damage. That helplessness or ineffectiveness against certain enemies should really be used more often in modern games.
I've played most of the stuff in this thread, horror games has been a hobby of mine for years.
>>17824666
This is what a lot of horror games fundamentally fail to realise. That vulnerability, as opposed to helplessness, is what creates fear.
You must be able to defend yourself in some manner, but it must be dangerous, risky and difficult to do so. If all you can do is run and hide in a locker then you will default to that behaviour at the slightest sign of trouble and thereby ruin the tension.
If you have to make a fight or flight response each time then the experience is much more notable.
Which is why games such as Thief / Condemned / Penumbra have such an effective atmosphere.
>>17824691
Bashing a dog to death in penumbra was definitely one of my fondest memories.

>>17801788

Cry of Fear
Ever never trust weaboo soma fanboys unless you like to play games where you walk under water and chill out with fish. Some times robot chases you but even that is not fun or scary. The plot is pretty similar to system shock 2 or matrix but has it's own 'clever' twists and lame ending.
4/10, would rather not play again.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl can be pretty spooky at times. Very atmospheric.
>>17801788
The Screecher free DLC is pretty fucking spooktacular if you or anyone else has the game.
>>17825908
best one by far.
SOMA is also rly good.
>>17812075
The thing I love so much about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games is the juxtaposition between scares and the rest of the gameplay. One minute you're hiding behind cover, tossing grenades, blind firing over a wall trying to fight the Russian army, the next you're dropping into a sewer and pissing yourself because of the invisible rape monsters that keep tickling your prostate with their tentacle beards, all while simultaneously firing in every direction at once Predator style in hopes that you may hit something hard enough to keep it's impending rape away from you for another few moments. Spoop/10, one of my favorite horror experiences, and on top of that the combat is actually really good outside of the horror aspects once you rebind the keys. God damned Russian games always seem to have the shittest pre set keybindings, it's like some unspoken rule.
>>17825974
As a side note, do everything you can to find the bloodsucker nest. My god that was one of the scariest game experiences of my life because I never took the quest to clear it out, so I had NO idea what kind of hell I was wandering in to. (PS, difficulty helps in this game. Makes you really paranoid for any little thing that might come your way)

Way better than the original.
Guys, I need games with horrific women like pic related. I've recently discovered I have a huge fetish for things that scare me.
Deus Ex (original)
Has it all, except supernatural.

What was the difference I played the original, with a friend before

>First few hours of this game is the best videogame horror experience ever
Best game ever, cant wait for new one.
>>17830860
Oldie but classic. Somewhat clunky controls and not scary in the way one would expect - still, full of that bizarro-world, thick atmosphere and interesting ideas.

Splatterhouse?
>>17801500
the book was honestly better than the game and the game was fantastic
Has anyone played layers of fear? Wondering if that's a good game to try

It was originally meant to be a straight-forward space-opera sequel to Laser Squad, and 'development' is a pretty loose term - in the same sense Duke Nukem Forever was in development in 12 years (but like, maybe 3 years of that contributed to final product, and rest was just constantly revised prototypes), and Gollop explicitly mentioned another tv series, UFO, as inspiration. I seriously doubt that X-Files had no influence on the final game.
Like, remember that a year is a REALLY long time in game design, especially back in the 90s.
I mean - just compare X-Com to Gollop's earlier games, like Rebelstar or Laser Squad. They don't have quite the same tone and atmosphere.

Literally one of the best games I have ever played, Ive never seen a game that had so much intelligence put behind it and was so well thought out.
>>17837588
The original was a repetitive stairway with a couple shadows and one monster thrown in. "B" added different layouts in different sections, and there are way more different monsters.
Slender Fortress
Shadow man (pc). Voodoo Negro collects dark souls in purgatory in order to prevent the Apocalypse which is prepared by illustrious spirits of serial killers led by Jack the ripper himself.

it's disturbing to see this thread still alive

Video games are a great source of inspiration and imagery for the paranormal
>>17800978
Played for ~1 hour. Really fucking boring and lags like hell as well. i5 + GTX 660 + 8GB RAM.
You just run around and kill some weird demons/crocodiles or whatever. I thought it was supposed to scare the shit out of me, but I don't even see anything scary there because of how dark the game is. Sun is shining through my curtains and I can't see shit.
No games thread on /x/ should go without bringing up worlds. It's not spooky in the traditional sense ie: scripted events, monsters and isolation. However the cult rumors, the strange regulars and the unknown vastness makes it a creepy and interesting. It seems the further in you get the more psychedelic and creative the worlds get. It's almost like the virtual equivalent of urbex as most of the worlds are frozen in time, they will forever more be a lasting relic of the 1990s (for as long as the servers are kept running at least).

They also were just generally hard. I broke a gamepad over the first mission with the old hunter in the first game.
>>17819520
Have you played the first Deer Hunter?
>>17834808
The problem with amnesia for me was, that the game gave up on me when I died several times at one spot. Somehow it stopped spawning monsters after some time. As soon as I found out, all the horror was gone.
A machine for pigs... I really tried to like it, I really tried. The atmosphere was nearly good, but it all came up to a steaming pile of manure.
>>17837591
Won't happen.

Steins;Gate, it's a visual novel about time travel.

Basically Yume Nikki on steroids?
Spooky house of jump scares
It's free on steam
>>17837561
this tbqh has all the tinfoil conspiracies you could ask for in a game.
>>17839909
You mean books and films, from where much of the inspiration for everything in this thread actually came from.
>>17840649
I honestly preffered the second one, the atmosphere it builds up is great and it improves on the first one quite a bit, also some of the side quests are amazing. Its a decent shooter on its own, along with the spooky setting.
>>17815482
>Fatal Frame
Fatal Frame 3 is the best by far. 2 is also quote good, but 3 has the blue lighting and the feel of the very best of the great mid-2000s J-Horror movies. The dream mansion motif and the real world / dream world thing is like Silent Hill 4 and I love it.
Fatal frame 4 holy shit guys got guud
>>17809488
was about to post about it
fantastic game, really
>>17836252
sauce !!!
Great game 10/10
>>17825908
this
Alien: Isolation?
Sure it's sci-fi rather than supernatural/ghosts. But it is tense and you will shit yourself when that 9foot tall creature spots you from way down a darkened hallway.
Also, use the mic for added immersion.
>>17841513
Not the Anon that posted it, but I'm about 99% sure it's Dreadout. Cool boss battles, good spoopy factors, and a horrific atmosphere. Would recommend.
Cry of fear spooked the shit out of me, enjoyed the main story and the multiplayer.
>>17823720
F.E.A.R 3 was the worst of the series.
>>17839072
>T:AOOT

Any good pre 2000 /x/ games?
>>17828800
Singularity is a good game, not so creepy and the endings are not that great, it should have been longer
>>17845164
Corpse Party: Classic
Not too scary, but a good paranormal story line.
Page ten resurrection.
>>17800978
game is hella hard for me. is it worth playing if i have to do it in easy mode?
>>17845164
Run like hell ps2 very dead spaceish
>>17848768
>is it worth playing if i have to do it in easy mode?
Changing the difficulty on a horror game should only become a factor if the game is either not stressful enough or beyond your gaming capabilities.
For example, don't play on the insane difficulty in Outlast unless you know where all the enemies are and how to avoid them. If you do know, it makes the game a much better experience the second time around.
>>17845011
I always fucking hated the beginning when the head jumpscare occured
It's such a shame Psi-Ops ended on a cliffhanger and will never get a sequel.
>>17845164
silent hill 1, hellnight and enemy zero come to mind
>>17850525
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
THAT GAME WAS SO FUN
>>17825180
Fuck, I really want a sequel to OFF. Or have the dudes make another game
>>17820878
Maybe the first Darkness game
>>17841433
And video games anon.
You aren't some kinda of aficionado because you prefer books and movies to video games, idiot.

>>17817775
Underrated,not bad for a free game
>>17841456
IKR! It's my fave game ever, so I'm a bit biased and all, but there's something so special about how it combines a chilly, isolating and claustrophobic atmosphere with this calm, numbing dreaminess that permeates the game. A lot of horror games juxtapose calm and relief against fear, but Fatal Frame 3 manages to use them simultaneously in a way that lets the fear really work its way under your skin.
I can wax lyrical about it for a very long time, but really it's criminal how this game is generally overlooked not just in the survival horror genre but within its own series, as 2 tends to get all the attention.
>>17814906
oh you mean not a game it has less than 2 hours of gameplay the story sucks dick and the final boss is the same shity qte werewolf fight you did earlier in the game you have shit tastes.
>>17820878

Manhunt
playing it on my Ps4 right now
If you can handle roguelikes Ifra Arcana is probably the most /x/ roguelike there is, you go to an abandoned church to steal an artifact from some cult. instead of having a hunger clock like most roguelikes you have to manage your sanity or else you get various debuffs, there's a bunch of weird lovecraftian creatures and a bit of occultist magic.
It also has sound effects for more spooks.
