    Started up a new save of Bloodborne on pc and talk about a fine wine. Unfortunately I kept on experiencing freezes/crashes via ShadPS4/BBLauncher, so I’ve put it down for the time being. I’ve heard about the newfangled decomp/recomp that lets you run it natively, but idk, I don’t really think that scene is for me.

    Otherwise I’ve been chipping away at Dredge and am considering a new playthrough of The Case of the Golden Idol. Never got around to the DLC with the latter, but also just going back through the base game to see all of the artwork again sounds like a good time.

    Also, if anyone has recommendations for horror games that aren’t Resident Evil or Silent Hill, I’d love to hear them. Can be action horror, survival horror, scary horror, cozy horror, and so on, I’m interested in it all.

      Control is the first horror anything (game, movie, book, etc) that made me click the lights on. If you haven’t already played I’d recommend

          Correct the first one. Something tells me I’ll still love the sequel that just came out but it won’t be the same atmosphere

            Ah cool, I’ve played the first one and enjoyed it quite a bit. Wouldn’t be the first thing that comes to mind when I think of horror, but I get where you’re coming from. Reminds me of David Lynch stuff with it being unsettling and dreamlike, so kind of spooky.

      If you mean you already played ResE and Silent Hill but want something similar, Signalis seems to be very inspired by ResE. Either way great horror/survival game

        I’ve given Signalis a go a couple of times and for some reason it hasn’t clicked for me. But maybe I’ll give it another try, thanks!

      It’s not outright horror so much as horror-themed (as in: the game isn’t really scary) but I will recommend Withering Rooms to anyone and everyone who listens.

      One of the most impressive solo dev games I’ve played. Super fun, interesting world building, gorgeous music, immaculate vibes.

          Two of the main inspirations for it are Silent Hill and Bloodborne, I forgot to say. You should absolutely play it, it’s phenomenal. Sequel is out in Early Access as well as we speak, although I would recommend waiting on the full release next spring. Needs a bit more time in the oven.
