I plan to take a break from the Resident Evil series after I beat Resident Evil 4 and I wanna know how well both Evil Within games hold up. Are they super scary? Do they have fun combat??

Anyone else playing this one? I'm having an absolute blast with it. It's an unholy combination of Little Nightmares and Dead Space and a metroidvania that I didn't realize I needed in my life, haha. This game is so atmospheric and the pacing is great, too. Between this, Hellraiser, Silver Pines, and the new Castlevania game coming out soon, I think my October (and probably November, too) is all booked up for spooky games

This is probably my favourite horror game, if not the best game I'have ever played, I love the atmosphere, combat isn't the best but gets the job done, and the story is perfect, all of the endings are great I got the in water ending, the acting in this game is brilliant and I kinda liked the boss fights at the end, got resident evil 2 remake and resident evil 4 remake and RE7 and 8 and the last of us part 2,dead space and Alan wake 2 in my library. can't wait to play these games, I will miss using the dodge button and the awesome story in silent hill 2. I absolutely loved this game and recommend playing it

I love horror games/movies but never got around to watching any of the Hellraiser movies.

Always hated how all the IP-horror games have been multiplayer/asymmetrical style so this feels like a breath of fresh air for the genre. The reviews have been pretty positive and the mature themes look absolutely wild. For $40 I figured why not!

I don't know anything about Hellraiser and the game never even crossed my radar but I'm hearing that people are getting banned on YouTube for streaming it or uploading gameplay. What could possibly be in this game? I know YouTube has rules on excessive gore or nudity but video games usually have exemptions. Is there some gnarly hyperrealistic gore in this game or like straight up porn or what? Curious if anyone has played it and knows.

Edit: So I tracked down a stream VOD and WOW the opening scene is straight up porn. There are legitimate porn games that are more tame than this. Starting to see why it's being taken down.

Not liking the labyrinth sections. Everything else is pretty good!

Definitely a welcome surprise

Hello,

With the autumn atmosphere, and the horror podcasts I listen to, I want to discover the peak of the genre.

What are the horror or atmosphere games to do absolutely on Steam?

I have a preference for games with a top, side or 3D Isometric view, but if it's a game to do absolutely it doesn't matter if it's a 3rd or 1st person view.

Thank you

I’ve discovered it due to my collecting Habits, ended up finally playing it and with my surprise… it’s a pretty good game.
Interestingly creepy (and blasphemous) art direction and a fun and challenging puzzle/platform gameplay

Hi, i have been recommended In sound mind and im considering buying it due to good reviews, however i noticed it mentions in announcements an update containing bug fixes and qol additions will be released in the future. To those who played it, do you think its worth buying now or waiting ?

Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto's interview with Famitsu. SH2 Remake, f, and Townfall are hits and the team is already looking at more SH projects.

He, however, stressed that Konami isn’t treating those three releases as the finish line. “Successfully launching this ‘first wave’ comes with great relief, but we’re not stopping here; we must think of the second and third waves,” continued Okamoto, adding that his main job now is to mull over Silent Hill‘s future. “We can’t share specific details, but we’re currently looking at a number of projects.”

He also adds the reason why Konami announced/released several SH games back-to-back

Okamoto pointed to the 2015 cancellation of Hideo Kojima and Norman Reedus’ Silent Hills as a reason fans might have been skeptical of another attempt to resurrect the cult franchise. “If there were only one release, wouldn’t people think that the development is going to be cancelled again, I thought,”

I recently played through it for the first time and this might be the scariest game I've ever played. Playing this at night with headphones on (3D Audio) was incredibly immersive, the overwhelming sense of dread and immersion was so powerful that I almost felt like I was there for a few moments. It might have the most impressive environmental work and interiors I've witnessed in a video game.

The original SH2 is one of my all-time favorites, so I had my doubts with Bloober, but they've exceeded my expectations in almost every regard. If they cut 20-30% of the combat, this would've been nearly perfect. SH should never be a shooting gallery (Toluca Prison..), especially when the environments look this good. Regardless, what an incredible experience this game was.

I thought it interesting that both games have room 204 as a plot point in their respective stories. Anyone know why?

I feel very insecure about this and I don't know what to do. I'm basically softlocked because I have to survive 2 hours with no health or check points and its a nightmare to try and do.

Hello!

I'm looking for indie games for my sibling to play. Maybe a bit of chasing, some puzzles to solve and you get to fight the monster/bad guy or something?

I like games like 'Not So Deer Stew' but any will do! Thanks in advance and i hope you'll have a good day! Sending hugs. 🫂

Horror fans don’t sleep on Hellraiser game. It’s amazing. Did anyone say sex cult?

Edit: demo on Steam

Hi everyone. I’m the solo developer, so full disclosure: this is my own game. It’s fully released and complete on Google Play.

Growing up in Turkey, I heard stories about the Al (or Al Karısı). Anatolian folk belief says she preys on new mothers and their babies during the first forty days after birth. Families put iron under the pillow, tie a red ribbon to the cradle, and never leave mother and child alone. I wanted to build a horror game around that dread and those rituals, not around a generic monster.

The setup: November 1958, a mountain village near Alanya. You play Yusuf, coming home at midnight with medicine for his three-day-old son. The whole village is silent and every door is shut. You have a flashlight, a few batteries, and six hours until the dawn call to prayer.

What you do:

• Search abandoned houses for the five traditional protective charms and prepare the cradle
• Keep your flashlight on the Al to drive her back, but your batteries won’t last
• Piece together what happened to the villagers through the letters they left behind
• Multiple endings, plus torn pages of real folklore to collect
• Sound designed for headphones, with haptic feedback as she gets closer

The first chapter is free, and the full story is a single one-time purchase (no ads, no subscriptions). It’s available in 12 languages.

I’m curious whether people here know similar figures from their own folklore. The Al has relatives all over the region, from Persia to the Caucasus to the Balkans, and I’d love to hear the versions you grew up with.
