I wonder what else, similar in vibe, is out there that people are enjoying! Anybody would like to suggest something along these lines?

I recently played Superhot and that turned out to be surprisingly creepy.

Darkwood comes to mind. I've been enjoying it immensely so-far. Very weird, dark, spooky-woods vibes. I've got it on Switch, but it's on everything else too. Highly recommend giving it a shot if you're looking for something creepy.

You got my hopes up thinking that Ysbryd just dropped a release date for World of Horror on consoles.

Didn't realize it was a two year old video until I clicked it.

The Last of Us Part II will be my obvious choice for unsettling content. I know it sure as hell ain't indie but...

[DeadmansTheory]

The game is definitely rough around the edges but the story/sound design/experience make it a game worth playing, imo.

 

[Pirate Bae]

Try Tokyo Dark

Freaked me out at parts

 

[Rosebud]

Higurashi 1 is free to keep at Steam, to me it was scarier than Amnesia.

 

[Salarians]

zeno clash 2

 

[DGxO]

Last years Outer Wilds is fucking terrifying. the Dark Bramble planet was so scary i had to fly with my eyes squinted and my headphones off just to tolerate it

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

Was going to post World of Horror, but you already got it covered.

This. Play GET EVEN.

 

[Overture]

I've been playing GTFO with a couple of friends and the game has an incredible atmosphere. Great stuff.

 

[Dphex]

Darkwood was great

 

[TissueBox]

Is Kittyhorrorshow mainstream now or still a totally exclusive indie dev gem?? 'Cause either way you could check out her stuff, they ain't terrible. ^^' ;p

 

[Dervius]

+1 for Darkwood, that atmosphere is oppressive. I legitimately have not been able to finish it yet.

Also been playing Sunless Sea which recently dropped for Xbox One. Great atmosphere and writing (in the Fallen London universe).

I've been dying to play this, but waiting for a console release if it ever happens.

 

[Phantom Head Shaver]

Scavenger SV-4 can get incredibly creepy on some runs. Very unique and definitely fits the description of a hidden gem.

 

[momerath]

I would tell you all to play Devotion, but you literally can't any more.

Thanks, China.

It really sucks but i either can play PS4 or Mac. Unfortunately i'll have to wait for this, but i LOVE coop games and this looks so much up my alley.

Ps. I did play Darkwood!
