Steam Halloween Sale 2016: My Underlooked Horror Games Can't Possibly Be This Cheap
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
Two completely different games that I loved. Can't really compare.
But I don't think I'll ever forget the narrative of Soma.
Anyone have any recommendations of horror games that aren't AS scary? For example I beat vampire: the masquerade and Zombi on this list, so things about that level...I just don't want to buy some and then not play them because they're too freaky but I enjoy a bit of horror.
Also, might be worth mentioning in op that corpse party just had a 3DS version come out.

So I'm still in the window shopping phase and have a question...
Resident Evil 6, which I don't own is $7.49.
But a bundle with 4,5,&6 is $6.44! Considering I already own 4&5 would I gain them as giftable items?

The Survey - $3.99 (20% off)
Steam
You awaken in your house, and find a strange survey app installed on your phone. They ask questions of you, and suddenly you begin to suspect you aren't alone in your home. A P.T.-inspired game that holds its own pretty well.
Thanks for this recommendation, played it last night. Inspired by PT is right, I don't think I've been unnerved and filled with dread for the duration like that since PT.

no, the reason its cheap is because you own 4 and 5 and 6 is being discounted with the bundle price (10% or something). You wouldnt get 4 and 5, only 6

Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.
I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

If we're talking mindfucks as a prerequisite, wow, TSC should shoot to the top of some lists. Parade(Case 3) is some serious fridge horror.

Every copy it sells is one step closer to seeing 25 Wards and FSR hitting Steam as well, so absolutely. It also sends a clear message that more obscure unlocalized games have an audience on Steam.
Is Firewatch safe to purchase? Haven't followed it since all the launch issues.
Close to getting it as well.. I heard the puzzles drag it down, but the story makes up for it's shortcomings.

I'll definitely be looking into this.
Oh god I am starting to explore the school in DreadOut and it like nope already!XD There is there one
This is definitely looking to be a nice Fatal Frame sub on PC.

Homecoming was released on Steam alongside the PS360 releases, there's nothing too bizarre about it.
Has it always been there? I've never seen it on the store before and I'm sure I would have searched for Silent Hill at least once before.

Higurashi.
Since there was someone vouching for each of the other two I had to make your choice harder
But seriously, even though I love Umineko I think Higurashi is more satisfying overall, and has slightly better pacing.

Sadly, Ryukishi07 lost his writing partner haflway through Umineko, which really changes things. I love the VN, but it's clear things changed drastically.
Higurashi is supposedly more consistent(though I've only done one episode so far).

Yeah, that 'needs a patch' stuff is nonsense. I've beaten it going on three times and never patched it.
You'll encounter bugs, make no mistake, but it's perfectly playable.

No patch is fixing that third person camera combat :X

I was planning to get Oxenfree only, but the OP persuaded me to get Claire and Uncanny Valley as well. Well done.
Luckily with the right class you basically don't need to do any combat
Well once I
beat this freaking piece of shit ghost that has scissors,
Edit: There lol.

I take it it's already known Oxenfree is part of a new Humble Bundle!

(Some Act I spoilers for DreadOut!!) Finally
in DreadOut and just gotta say I really like the game's limbo concept (after
). It's mysterious and adds to the ambiguity of what you're dealing with exactly.
That being said...that puzzle with the
was frustrating to figure out, after a couple on-and-off hours I looked it up despite not wanting to touch any guides...it's sort of prepared me for further puzzles down the line if they're similarly photo-reliant though. It's just important to remember how integral the camera is, even if I feel a love/hate relationship coming on. Then again the school having many many rooms and Linda's leisurely pace was mainly why I had trouble, I didn't want to take too long in one spot because I couldn't tell where I had to be so I just stormed through each room lol.
Overall, I like most of what I see so far. This kind of B-movie style, Asian non-zombie horror vibe is great and very interesting. Also, cleverly done scares that are not just pop-ups, which is surprisingly subdued for an out-of-the-blue debut!
EDIT: Going through the
and damn this game really does get, like...just pretty cool sometimes. If there was a word I'd use to describe DO atm it would be that.
EDIT #2: LMAO just
but awesome (aaand trippy). Forget what I said about 'b-movie' vibes, this is somethin' else: a thing of its own, at least for now.
EDIT #3: Oh man the framerate just got shot in the chest though, ouch. So this is true horror!! >_<
EDIT #4: Looks like it might just be computer lag though. Time and a few configurations will tell.
got outta the hallway
getting 'limbo'-ed by the red-dressed woman in particular a couple seconds ago and being actually given tips by some non-corporeal voice...wasn't expecting that!
That being said...that puzzle with the
hanged bodies

made it out of the school door and that ending and music was so unexpected

Pathologic is 65% off.
It might not be for everyone, it is slow-paced, janky, surreal and sometimes obtuse. But even with all its flaws, I believe it deserves to be given a chance, if only because of the creepy and oppressive atmosphere that the game creates through its story and gameplay .
So how is Stasis?
I'm a fan of point & click adventures, usually lighter, but I did enjoy Sanitarium quite a bit and this game reminds of it.
The thing is that I don't like being on the edge of my sit the whole time with adventure games, I like to take my time and enjoy the puzzles.
Are there may jump scares or timed sequences?

Tfw you and your bae are tighter then XS-sized briefs then they suddenly bitch-slap you..!?
(It was so funny seeing this in-game lol. Animations are DreadOut-tier.
That was something, and the animation made it even more silly.
Also after an
annoying fight with the scissor phantom,
the endless hallway and the encounter with the lady in red.
Looking forward of what spooks will come in Act 2, which I already dip into a little.

Resident Evil Revelations is...not nearly as good as I remember.

You know, as much as having smaller sales is cool, they really do not do enough to make them pop.
I had thoughts of double dipping on PC, but decided not to, partly cause I feel part of the charm was being portable and all. Could have push the horror aspect a bit more still through.
The atmosphere is there, but I honestly got pretty bored with it like an hour or two in and never went back.

Yes I enjoyed the
lady-in-red "fight"
Lookin' forward to the rest of Act 2 as well if that was the end of I..! Hope to get to see Linda kick some more spiritual ass...or just take pictures of them.
