I wish this game had realistic and scary models - is there anything else?

[Atlas32]

I got a free copy for Epic and I can't get into it dude, the characters are too cartoony for me to actually be interesting or scary. Does anyone know any similar games with realistic art/models?

[dreamrider]

Are we talking about the same game?

You never see another character, and you only see your avatar, in reflection, about two times in an entire playthrough...if you work at it.

The other creatures are ... not very cartoon-y, if you have time to take note while running and hiding.

They look close enough, but yes, there is a cartoonish element to them.
Below Zero kinda addressed that, but screwed up lighting instead.
There's nothing out there other than straight horror games.
Will have to wait for subnautica 2, see what they do with that.

Have you tried any of that SCP stuff that seems to be all the rage nowadays?

Despite all answers here, there is nothing similar or comparable with realistic art/models (at least not that I am aware of anything like this).

The “cartoony” thing is unfortunately a general trend in games.

There was once a statement in the past that games will never be (photo)realistic? Why? Because people supposedly can't tell the difference between games and reality (especially with regard to so-called killer games).

In return, we get cartoon and plastic graphics partly childish and/or color oversaturated games that are sometimes so over-the-top that any freak show seems harmless in comparison.

I find the murky abyss when there's darkness in all directions more horrifying than the jump scares the creatures give. Not being able to see anything - but imagining what could be out there - is always scarier, especially if there are just hints of noises. Lets your imagination do the work for it.

Still very early game here but caves does it for me. Believe it is called speluncaphobia.

I pride myself for having a strong constitution when it comes to horror experiences, yet I still had a panic attack when I encountered my first Ghost Leviathan in VR. Not once did I tell myself, "You know what? That just wasn't realistic or scary enough."

This game really bring out many kind of phobia from people

The way collision geometry on caves and wrecks inexplicably blocks air pipes from being placed is the only thing that scares me. Makes the hair stand up on the back of my scalp.

I panic everytime I get near a ghost if I don't have prawn with drill and grapple
