I currently have a Steam Deck and am interested in horror games specifically (preferably survival horror with weapons but any is acceptable).
I have played some of the “playstation x” genre games on 8bit.io (modern games created with 8 bit graphics) and am interested in these type especially.
I have already played through the silent hill series, resident evil.
I appreciate any recommendations!
Eternal Darkness on Gamecube was a pretty big one right? Also due to it’s IP hell I don’t think there will ever be another game like it.
If you’re ok with GameCube era, then Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem is one of my fav games. I don’t like horror, but this one is the exception. It’s Cthulu-based. You play a different characters recounting their fight against elder gods. There is the standard HP and mana bar, but there’s also a sanity bar. That one is fun when it runs out.
@ForTheEmperah Have a look at Clock Tower.
Will do thanks 👍
Honestly, I think a lot of people have hit the big ones already. Not being much of a horror gamer myself, I would throw Metroid Fusion into the mix as a sci-fi horror game. There’s also a horror jankfest called Martian Gothic, which is on PC & PS1, which is interesting for the multiple characters working together through the game - but if they meet, game over - it’s by the same team as Dreamweb. There’s also Deep Fear for Sega Saturn, which is basically Sega doing Resident Evil, but underwater - I’ve only ever seen LPs of it, but it looks like fun - I don’t know if you need a translation patch. You could try another contemporary game, Fatal Frame, which I played a demo of, where you use a camera to fend off ghosts.
Metroid fusion as a horror game? I’m unfamiliar with fusion… where is the horror tag coming from?
Silent Hill, Galerians, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Parasit Eve, Koudelka
Dino crisis sounds fun
Corpse Party (the original one) has both a PC and DS version. I thought it was really good.
Rule of Rose is a pretty interesting PS2 survival horror game.
I tried playing it in a pc emulator but the controls with kbm were…janky. Maybe steam deck will be of help.
Parasite Eve on the PS1. Absolute masterpiece from Squaresoft.
