SaveStateSteve@savestatesteveHorror games for someone who plays horror games through their fingers
October's almost here and I want to join in, but I'm a coward. I bought Alien: Isolation ages ago and have spent more time hiding in lockers than actually progressing. Looking for creepy over jump-scary. Atmosphere good, being chased bad. What worked for the other scaredy cats?

framecounter@framecounter· 9/28/2026, 6:33:17 PMReturn of the Obra Dinn. Not scary exactly, but you're alone on a ghost ship working out what happened to every soul aboard, and the atmosphere is thick. Nothing chases you. It's just dread and a notebook.
