Amanda French writes: "Tormentum: Dark Sorrow is unique as a casual-level adventure game because of its beautiful, dark, and surreal imagery. It explores the idea of redemption, but not just that, how we perceive morality at all. The elements of horror in Tormentum crept under your skin, making you feel unease. I always felt that adventure games were ideal for things like that given the nature of interaction and the strong focus on story. As a fan of metal music and horror films, I doubly appreciate such game titles. But if you're like me, one isn't enough. That's why I've compiled a list of nightmarish games that are similar to it! Here they are, in no particular order of preference."
Of the many horror sub-genres, psychological horror is known for leaving a lasting impression because it plays on the fragility of the human mind.
Absolute embarrassment that all 4 of the first Silent Hill games didn't make the list. 2 is the best one but the other 3 are fantastic as well.
They also included 2 Bloober games and forgot Fatal Frame and PT. 🙄
PT isn't a game. As for the Silent Hill games, clearly they chose the best one for their list. I don't disagree that there are some questionable choices there though.
PT is a game and a better one than most of the games on that list. Just because they gave it away for free doesn't mean it isn't a game.
@Magog - it was a playable teaser. The entire thing could be beaten in like 5 minutes if you knew what to do. That's not a game. Yes, it was fantastic, but it was a glorified demo.
Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 are all at the top of psychological horror games. I really want a new Silent Hill in the style of the old games, not like P.T.
Doki Doki Literature Club .. Also the definitive GOAT .. Silent Hill 2 also
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
