i couldn’t get myself to finish alien isolation when it came out, it was that constant fear of that smart alien coming out of nowhere haha. always thought of trying it again though.

+1 for Alien isolation. That really needs a sequel. It captured the whole style of the first film. It was scary and fun at the same time.

I stopped after the protagonist found out what he is and got to the water section… It’s like the reveal was done in an anti climatic way.

Or am I missing much more to the story?

No spoilers but for me it was really the ending that hit hard.

Currently fresh in mind; Garten of Banban

There’s something instinctually terrifying about that damn bird. Genuinely good horror.

Loved Dead Space 1&2 and the Resident evil games (the remakes and 7, 8). In terms of story, Silent Hill II is probably my favorite and i’m eagerly awaiting the remake

EDIT: idk if Bloodborne counts as a horror game really, but that is probably the best Lovecraftian game i’ve played
