From the article: Independent games are a mixed bag. It's a bag worth digging into if you're looking for something different. Not being a well-known game developer can be a little bit of a blessing. Without a high-profile name, there's lower expectations (and unfortunately less notoriety), but this gives the developer a lack of peer pressure and the freedom to try something the world may not have seen before. The Path is one of these games.

10 awesome and obscure horror games you probably haven't heard of. What offbeat horror games do you love? Let us know in the comments!
You never heard of it?
Obscure is awesome, it has the style of gameplay of Resident Evil.
If you are a fan of the old school Resident Evil then you should play both Obscure 1 and Obscure 2.
They are so cliched as they get but so cool too lol.
No xD
I'm saying that obscure is an obscure game lol
I played Obscure 1 and 2 and I loved them.
Eternal Darkness is pretty popular. A better entry would've been Clock Tower.
I have Haunting Ground on the PS2 and Siren Blood Curse on the PS3. Both of those games are pretty good.
DeSpiria for the Dreamcast it's a strange horror RPG evolving around a special agent sent to discover an underground cult. It's set in a dystopian future after World War III which leads to some serious creepy atmosphere. The character designs are questionable but it flourishes in monster design and disturbing music (which would have been so much better in full-length but tracks are limited to 20 second loops.) I await the day I am fluent in my Japanese studies so I can play this game in it's entirety.

Haunting Ground, Galerians and Rule of Rose deserves mentions as well. I would go on about these three but I doubt you guys want to read a novel....
