I’m currently playing Silent Hill Townfall and Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly Remake and while i love both of the games i’m wondering if Hellraiser Revival is worth it? How does it compare to these 2 games? Is it better? Thanks for answers :)

First of all, I was worried that *Silent Hill: Townfall* wouldn’t turn out to be a good game. Most of the reviews I read were negative, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. And honestly, I loved it.

Before getting into what I think this game did right, there’s one thing I want to mention. I played *Silent Hill: Townfall* on Story Mode difficulty, and I think it made the overall experience much better.

From the very beginning, I loved the vibe and atmosphere. The sound design is fantastic, and the town feels both unnerving and strangely peaceful. The graphics are great too, but what caught my attention first was the audio. I played with both speakers and headphones, and it sounded great either way. The deep bass and unsettling noises really added to the experience.

The use of color also helps create a world that feels completely different from anything else. It makes the game even more unsettling. The characters are decent too. They’re likeable enough that you genuinely want to see them succeed.

Now, let’s talk about the enemies.

I think they look genuinely frightening, and the way they behave makes them even scarier. The stealth sections can be frustrating at times, but playing on Story Mode meant I didn’t mind them too much. I can understand why some people find these sections annoying. Especially towards the end of the game, where things can get a bit excessive. Still, the enemies are interesting, fit the game’s atmosphere and aesthetic perfectly, and do their job well.

Of course, not every part of the game is perfect. Some sections drag on a little too long, and certain gameplay elements can become repetitive. I understand why this might bother some players, but for me, these issues only affected a relatively small portion of the experience.

The story isn’t bad either. However, the game sometimes feels like it’s building towards a huge revelation, only for the ending to arrive rather abruptly. I would have liked a little more payoff after all that buildup.

Overall, I think *Silent Hill: Townfall* is a very interesting addition to the franchise. Despite its flaws, it delivers an experience that I genuinely enjoyed. The great atmosphere, memorable moments, interesting locations, fantastic sound design and music, frightening enemies, decent puzzles, and engaging story more than make up for its weaker parts.

I’m glad we get to wander through another foggy town.

I recently released a small horror/mystery game called THIS PAGE SHOULD NOT EXIST.

It's set in an old municipal archive that supposedly hasn't been updated since 2003. Except one of the employees somehow has a login from today.

You basically explore the archive, go through old records, and try to figure out what's going on. It's more about investigating and piecing things together than traditional horror. No jumpscares.

The game is fully finished, free, and playable in your browser. I'd recommend playing on desktop and going in blind.

Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out:

If anyone gets stuck, I'm happy to give hints without spoiling too much.

I have uploaded this post on many reddit communities but I decided to also post it here.

I was scrolling through itch Io when one game caught my eye. A game named Gleb 1444. I thought it was just a mockery joke game about the 1444 incident "Gleb Korablev" but turns out it was a game where you control Gleb Korablev and try to get 40 happy pills before the timer runs out. I tested what happens if the timer ran out and I can say that what I saw was shocking. I saw an image of a DEAD Gleb Korablev straight taken from gore websites. I tried winning and succeeded. All colors started flashing rainbow indicating "overdose" and there was a text saying "GLEB DIDNT COMMIT" definitely one of the most shocking, worst, disturbing games I've ever played. Even worse than Hong Kong 97 to be honest.

I dunno, i want to play something from this year, but im seeing that the discourse towards these games, Silver Pines excepted, is quite polarising? Im very open to suggestions here

I heard from some reviews that it’s quite possible and even easy to soft lock yourself by being too trigger happy? Is this valid?

Wondering if I should bump the difficulty down to prevent this. I don’t mind friction in games but I do absolutely mind being unaware I cannot complete them Q

I got the new Hellraiser game. I played for about an hour and I really like it but an important part of this discussion is I am extremely squeamish not by gore and body-horror but by horror in general. Creepy atmospheres, jump scares, etc.

I started a personal endeavor years ago to build up my horror tolerance and its worked so far but I've hit a snag, supernatural and first person perspectives. These reasons are why I couldn't fully enjoy the last three Silent Hill games and Resident Evil 7.

I've played most of the Resident Evil games, all of the Dead Island, Dying Light, and Dead Space series, and I'm really enjoying Alone in the Dark Remake. I've watched several horror movies too but I can't remember their names as they are foreign.

I really want to play Hellraiser but it has both my weaknesses. My usual exposure therapy isn't working in fact I think I lose all my tolerance when I try to play it alone at night. I live alone so getting someone to play it with me is not a reliable or consistent method.

I'm looking at where I can watch the Hellraiser movies but its not really the plot that bothers me so I don't think it would help much that I know the context and lore.

Anyway if you've gotten this far thanks for your patience and I would really appreciate some advice on this matter.

I am searching for horror games to play on the night of halloween. As i dont really play horror games that often i mostly look for games that i can play through in 1 night or even swap games during the evening.

I am mostly looking for short story games or maybe round based games like repo or dbd. Thanks for any help!

Still looking for alot of the other games but I have the original 4 games. Silent Hill franchise is one of my all time favourite games, I love it so much 😭

Haven’t owned a physical collection in a number of years and I can’t bring myself to buy physicals of games I have digitally, so I decided I’d compromise with myself and start putting soundtracks for my favorite games on cassette. I photoshopped the cases myself from images pulled from steamgriddb. Buying soundtracks from smaller devs is also a nice way to support the studio a bit extra. Ripped from digital onto tape. Thought I’d share.

What I'm looking for exactly:

• 3D
• The usual stuff like limited ammo at the beginning and inventory managment, which both become less of a problem over time
• 1st person and 3rd person are both okay, even though I prefer the latter
• Modern character and camera controls (no tank controls and absolutely no fixed camera)
• I want to be able to defend myself most of the time and don't want to have to sneak around every enemy (even though I don't mind an occasional stealth section)
• Some kind of dodge and/or block

Games I already know (of):

• Alan Wake 2
• Hellraiser: Revival
• Resident Evil (5-9 + remakes)
• Cronos: The New Dawn (played the demo and really liked the world but didn't enjoy the gameplay because there's no way do block/dodge attacks, which made it surprisingly hard and almost feel like a soulslike within the action/horror genre)
• The Sinking City 2 (played the demo, on my wishlist)
• Dead Space Remake (haven't played it yet)
• The Evil Within 2 (haven't played it yet, it's also not new-ish)
• Silver Pines (saw it described as 2D Alan Wake but yeah, it's 2D)

Upcoming games:

• Black Tides Draga's Wake (looks like a (survival?) action horror version of "Prototype")
• ILL (only watched the two videos on Steam, looks quite gory)
• Resident Evil: Veronica
• Possibly "OD" (looks interesting but they haven't released much information yet, no idea if they'll even release it on PC)

Question about Silent Hill: I know that you have to sneak a lot in the new one. Is that also the case in the SH 2 Remake?

Anything else that was released within the last couple of years or is going to be released soon?

Like games that made it hard to sleep do to the idea or things that happened has anyone ran into games like that?

When I completed it a couple of months ago I found this game amazing. I am in love with the atmosphere and this damn feeling that you're completely helpless cuz you're in the middle of the ocean and you can't explain wtf is happening to y'all

Hi so recently a few friends and I decided to try horror games.

At first it was 4 of us in total and we played pacify. We had alot of fun and really enjoyed the indie style of the game. Once we completed it we wanted to play another game and another friend asked to join so we played backrooms. We enjoy the scary horror style but now its like we want to play more horror games but it needs to allow 5 players. BTW we all play on ps5.

Your recommendations will highly be appreciated.

Gameplay: the awkwardness of the twin stick controls makes for that classic feeling of being an untrained and unprepared normal human. Missing crucial shots as the enemies slowly lumber towards you made combat tense no matter how improved your kit was. Also blindly firing through a door at a noise you hear followed by a body slumping on the ground always made me smile. The enemy respawns were slightly tedious but with all the backtracking the game requires it does at least keep your brain occupied. The exploration is great. Game has stellar environment design.

Sound: it’s amazing. Maybe the only place it falters is the weapon sounds. For a game inspired by dead space it saddened me that the weapons didn’t get noisier with upgrades. But the music stings, creature noises, and ambient hum of the abyss more than make up for it. The music will also incorporate themes of the monsters you will encounter in a particular area

Story: it’s there guess and it’s enough to keep you chugging along. I wish the notes and journal entries you found were longer. Most are only a sentence or two in length.

Visuals: incredible. So many environmental details. Every single frame has a story to tell of what went wrong and how the people caught up in it tried to react. And oh my god the containment sector is going to go down as one of the coolest and most visually striking levels I’ve ever played.

Overall vibes: this is harder to materialize but something I liked is just how oppressive this game is. From the way the characters interact and speak to each other, the nature of the abyss, and the vagueness of your mission in it I get the vibe that this is not a pleasant world to live in. It gives me a similar vibe to Cronos where the world is hell and you just exist in it long enough to die horribly and be immediately replaced.

I wrote a little tactical horror game. I’m not sure if it’s a proper horror game, but it managed to scare me.

It is complete finished and released for free. I would be happy about a every comment.  

Inspired by the original Wumpus Game from the late 70s, mixed with Minesweeper tactics in a first person 3D enviroment.
