October is right around the corner.
Which horror games will you be playing?

The scariest game of all.
Job Application.

>>720664069
fucking christ spoiler that shit

>>720662982 (OP)
Dead Space 1 and 2. Maybe 3 if I'm feeling it. Not the faggot Canadian one though. That can rot in the corner.

>>720662982 (OP)
Little Nightmares III is on my radar. Was initially very skeptical but the new trailers have me on board.
After that I might play some Bendy again.

gonna get phasmophobia whenever its on sale a cause a friend wants to try it

I'll probably finally finish signalis. I run a tabletop campaign and its always enjoyable to get horror inspiration this time of year.

>>720662982 (OP)
I have a love/hate relationship about this game.
I think the setting was very cool and the game for the most part is pretty fun.
But while I appreciate that it feels like the distillation of resident evil, silent hill, and a few other horror genre titles, it leaves in some abrasive elements beyond utility, like the pitiful item management.

Anyways OP I'm going to play STALKER mods for Halloween.

>>720662982 (OP)
Maybe modded Skyrim with some horror mod

>>720662982 (OP)
Conscript ie an actual good survival horror unlike op pic

I got all the way to the flesh table boss and stopped for a year, I wanna finish it but I basically have to start over since I don't remember anything

>>720662982 (OP)
I am currently going through soulslikes not made by from. Finished Bleak Faith and started Hellpoint. So far is pretty boring I dunno if I will go far. Event Horizon Souls sounds cool on paper but is just not grabbing me like I was hoping. It feels jank but not in a good way.

>>720662982 (OP)
Dead of the Brain 2, hopefully

>>720664069
yeah bills and wageslavig are scarier than any game or movie, fuck this life

>>720667654
>Hellpoint
not even a spooky game and the combat is rather primitive, but I liked the levels and exploration

>>720664069
part 2, i'll definitely get one this time boogaloo so mom will stop yelling

>>720664140
Dead Space still looks decent with a reshade/enb of your choice

it has been kind of slow for horror games that aren't shock scares/walking simulators for quite awhile now hasn't it

I'll give voices of the void a try.

>>720662982 (OP)
Not this glorified flash garbage.

>>720665476
item management in signalis is just put everything except for a single gun and key item you need into the box. The real problem is level design, you just stumble around until you find another generic key to open a door to find another key to open another door loop until the game is finished. There's like 3 serious puzzles in the whole game. Shaft-like shizo transitions in cutscenes are cringe too. The story is pretty cool overall tho.

>>720664140
>Not the faggot Canadian one though.
What's the issue? Never played the og but I'm enjoying the remake.

>>720672736
There is no issue with the Remake, that shitskin goes to /pol/.

>>720673085
Oh, I see. Because the game is actually superb. The biggest complaints were regarding performance but it plays great on my machine running linux. Haven't finished my first playthrough yet but plan on doing several rounds.

>>720662982 (OP)
Crow country and replaying og re4 for like 5th time.

>>720673406
>makes your wife ugly as fuck
>all gender bathrooms
you faggots and your need to consume newest thing

>>720673406
Good for you that you have fun in the remake. I played the original, 2 and 3 and had a blast playing the Remake when it came out. To me it was a good remake, the slightly different plot and voiced protagonist didn't bother me in the slightest.

Party's over though, now all the poltards will converge on this thread and post their retarded shit. The first reply is already in.

>>720662982 (OP)
Sequel plox

I was gonna try fatal frame 1 but im a big baby and i also heard its really hard?

>>720673830
>I had a blast
>reddit spacing
tranny confirmed, go back

>>720662982 (OP)
Well... I guess that sad existentialism is the most real horror there is

>>720672659
The place with no map and doorways that aren't even in the same direction. But even still that place wasn't too big and for someone that played games before maps held your hand it's not too bad. The most difficulty I had was when I tried playing on hard but it was too hard.

>>720662982 (OP)
Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's

>>720662982 (OP)
Resident Evil HD, Resident Evil 0 and The Evil Within all on my PStripple

>cant play scary games because i'm a huge pussy.

Any game recs?

>>720674408
i'm more so complaining about gameplay loop being really boring and uninspired with barely any variety, not about map being convoluted. Find a key, open a door, find a key,open a door, find 8 keys in a row, open the door.

>>720674697
damn TEW was good, 2nd was aight
>>720674714
Visage I guess, Condemned Criminal Origins, Alien Isolation, SOMA, Outlast(I guess). Alan Wake 2 while not strictly horror, has some spooky elements.
Silent Hill 1-4(the remake is decent enough for SH2, download some mods that make the chicks like the original though, they're easy to install).

>>720673830
Thanks <3
Kinda sucks that the sequels won't be getting any remakes but I will play them when there's a good sale.

>>720674775
I only started getting a little tired of it after like 6 playthroughs in a row. I love this game so much.

>>720662982 (OP)
will probably check out VOTV and see what the dev added since I played it last year

>>720662982 (OP)
RE2, Darkwood, Fatal Frame
Maybe I'll be able to squeeze in FEAR Perseus Mandate because I loved Extraction Point

>>720674089
I didn't find any of them particularly hard but I also didn't play them on max difficulty so eh.

>>720674089
i've been watching through it due to lack of time, and it seems the difficulty is from older mechanics, not the game itself being hard. just takes some getting used to

>>720675017
>OUTLAST
lmao, I got to the basement and I quit. It was too scary

>>720675017
I've played through half of TEW. Is the second not worth getting into? I really love the atmosphere and the psychological horror of the first one.

>>720662982 (OP)
I'll probably replay Darkwood, I dunno. I've been meaning to check out if there are any fun text-based horror games but I don't know where to start. I'm not that familiar with horror games.

>>720675501
Uhh well the second game kinda opened it up to a semi-open world, sort of. Think of it like a bigger area to run around in where shit happens, and sometimes it's a bit creepy.
The atmosphere is still there, but I don't think it's AS great as the first game

>>720664069
Good luck

>>720675626
I see. The claustrophobia in the first one works really well. Making it more open seems kinda counter to that. Guess I'll watch a review and spoil it a bit for myself.

>>720673984
>sequel
anon, they're both dead hopefully

>>720675906
They were the whole time in the first one too.
Plot nonsense means nothing when sequel money is a possibility.

>>720673406
I think the story suffers despite the inclusion of Wrights excellent reads. Nearly everyone else except for Nicole turns in a worse performance than the original, especially the captain guy. That said it look incredible, plays great and the open concept Ishimura is fucking inspired. It’s more than earned its spot, worse than the original as a package deal imo but still great, and people who say it’s worse than 3 are braindead.

>>720662982 (OP)
>troonalis

>>720662982 (OP)
Might finally get around to finishing Signalis and RE:8. Maybe Amnesia: The Bunker, I heard good things about that

>>720664069
Oof

>>720662982 (OP)
another playthrough of Labyrinth of the Demon King for me

>>720676016
>They were the whole time in the first one too.
she literally cannot die

the person elster strangles in the pod is alina seo

>>720662982 (OP)
I'm playing through Silent Hill 2 (2001) enhanced edition now. When I beat that before September is over I'll start playing Dead Space 2 again. After that...IDK I'll figure something out.

>>720675003
>got fired a few months ago but i have giga savings so im going to neet for a long time before switching to blue collar since the greenhorn labourers i worked with made double i did after 8 years of experience
anyway since silent hill f looks like shit ill finish fatal frame 1 and probably work up the series. i do want to play signalis again even though i 100% it.

Cute robot, I'd make her my bride.

>>720674714
You just have to face it. I also couldn't play horror games so i just pull myself to play SH1 since the graphics aren't that hardcore and it's a classic. Give it a try.

>>720682670
I never really had the PS1 growing up I went pretty much straight to PS2, and like I played Silent Hill 1 recently and it's honestly still pretty scary, especially the music when the game gets lively.

>>720673736
Oh no! Gendered bathrooms I might not even notice as I fight necromorphs for my life! You faggots do nothing but look for things to complain about.

>>720683146
Yeah that's what i meant. It is still scary but your brain kinda tone it down since it's ps1 graphics. Good game either way.

>>720662982 (OP)
Dead Space, F.E.A.R. and the RE games since the only games I've played have been REmake and OG 4. Japan Stigmatized Property also looks like a fun anomaly game, I should get that one.

On the other hand, I've been mildly interested in Backrooms stuff, but I know there's a ton of shovelware Backrooms games out there. If I were to get only one, what do you think is the best one?

>>720674714
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

>>720683291
>t.

>>720662982 (OP)
my friend bought me this and i still haven't played it yet but i should

>>720683739
It's pretty good, kinda trippy. It's about cute East-German robot girls

>>720664069
Crazy how the job market has worse odds then winning big at gacha.

>>720662982 (OP)
Is this game actually good? It looks like yuri cringe.

>>720675906
Not really hard to come up with one, like I can easily think of an aftermath scenario where either Elster failed to keep the promise route being canon or Alina was just too strong so even in death her influence continues. Or maybe even a prequel.

But honestly not all games need a 2nd game and I'm fine with Signalis being a one and done.

>>720664069
>don't get the joke because I've been on a stable WFH job for over 5 years
>realize that if I were to lose this job, I'd have nowhere else to go since it's just a common OTP outsourced technical support job
>finished college yet I have no experience whatsoever on my field because no one wanted to hire me prior to this job

Honestly, I'd just go freelancer or open a cafe.

>>720662982 (OP)
LN3 and No I'm Not A Human are on my radar.

>>720662982 (OP)
Fatal Frame 2 for sure, 3 probably, Darkwood, maybe Eternal Darkness if I have time but I remember it being really long.

>>720683291
shut up tranny
don't get too fussed that you need to go shoot up kids

She's a communist, she's OUR bride

I need to find something to play - especially as this is the first spooktober that I have an oled screen so I can enjoy the deepest, darkest blacks while I scare myself immersed in a game. Usually I would play ayy lmaosolation but i've had my fill of that.

>>720662982 (OP)
bloodborne for the yearly playthrough
probably gets around to fatal frame 4 and 5 finally
maybe some indie shit

Job application sound

>>720687235
Apply to Fedex if you have one in your area, they hire literal retards.

I usually just replay Dead Space or any Resident Evil but this year I'll probably play/read the first Spirit Hunter vn or play the last Amnesia

>>720687235
I got certified for welding a few years ago and i am about to buy a home in a few months. Just learn an actual skill and not meme shit and you will be fine.

>>720662982 (OP)
Resident evil 5 since i never beat it.

Ill be replaying Metroid Prime 2

>>720675003
You voted for this

>>720690492
Your next line will be, "Chuds vote against their interests"

what's (you)r favourite spooky game. i really like fatal frame so far. kuon and siren are up next.

Will never not be funny, i love this timeline i make fun of them every time i see them now.

>>720691368
Early phasmophobia in VR solo before they kept making the game worse i wish i could go back

>>720691474
yeah my next step is blue collar. have an engineering degree and did consulting, fucking hated it, and getting fired was a godsend. ideally id like to operate whatever, construction guys are way more fun across all the projects i've been on.

>>720691776
Blue collar work is fucking amazing right now, zoomies and a lot of millennials are all unable to do hands on work so there is a lot of demand for it, money is god tier right now in the lumber field where i work, and its up in metal and construction as well.

>>720691776
go into QC, for laughs

>>720691474
They should've learned to code lmao

>>720684639
What's your degree in?

>>720662982 (OP)
I don't really restrict horror games to October anymore, feels too obligational. I'll just play whatever I want.

>>720687235
From where are you mate?
Oh wait, this is happening literally everywhere.
Seriously what the fuck is going on that people can't seem to find jobs?

signalis any good brothers?

>>720678728
SIGNALIS has such an abstract story to a detriment to where you can come up with theories like this

besides Tormented Souls 2 what else is coming next month?

>>720695535
signalis is really good

>>720695797
what makes it so good?

>>720662982 (OP)
I just finished playing Harvester. Totally unforgettable experience.

>>720662982 (OP)
What was the name of the creator of Sneedalis, again? Was it Yuri Stern, or Alex Zwerger? Maybe it was Alex Yang. HE went by so many names.

>>720688607

Play HorrorVale.

>>720695606

>Tormented Souls 2
>Comes out next month

HOLY KINO

>>720695553
>abstract story to a detriment
I'll actually defend it on that point. Signalis is supposed to feel like a confusing nightmare because that's what it is. Ariane is stuck in the pod, dreaming and distorting reality because she psychically linked up with whatever was sleeping on the planetoid her ship eventually landed on. All the people she knew from Rotfront appear in her dream as replikas, and all the moments and places from her life warp and blur into one another. Her cancer manifests as meat blobs that slowly take over the dream. The game is her begging Elster to wake her up by killing her, which manifests in the repeating motif of the Toteninsel painting. Most of the story is squirreled away in little details, such as the ironic fact that Adler's gestalt was the spy.

I usually hate confusing games, but playing again, there were a lot of hidden details that show that the devs put serious love and attention into the game. Like the fact that the repeating audio number sequence is the updated mission parameters telling Elster and Ariane that their mission is doomed and that they're both going to die horribly alone in space. Or fact that every Kolibri room has a stepstool in it because she's a midget. The only part I'll complain about is that the flashback images zip by way too fast.

For a game about lesbian space robots, it wasn't bad.

>>720675501
IMO the second Evil Within is pretty much on par with the first one, so it's worth playing if you like the first one. Both games do certain things better; I personally think the second one is better overall, but that's mostly for gameplay related reasons.

>>720699078
that makes more sense than what i was thinking, thanks anon. falke sex

>>720699078
My issue is exactly that, they are small details.
It's a medium to tell a story, and while there is some interesting worldbuilding, it's not enticing enough to me as a player to spend hours reading on. I'm focused on the game and how it plays, not its small details like a film.
Didn't help a lot of it was a "homage" to animes to put it lightly.
As much as I like the characters, music, and setting, the game was horrid to play and the overall story made little sense to a point where I didn't care about anything besides finishing it.
Also, its too hard to find the porn and the fandom is fucking rancid. It's fun getting blocked by the dev lmao

Just finished SH1, moved on to SH2 (PS2). Will probably finish 2 and 3 before going on vacation in October so I won't be playing games at that time.

>>720695535
It's good if you enjoyed RE1-3 and sci-fi horror.

>>720675003
