"Darkest" games

[kek]

Does anyone know of a game like Dark Souls or Silent Hill? Such as dark, sad, where even the world dies.

Here some dark and scary games

1.Agony Urated ( I heard this is the most fustarting game to play )

2.Dead Space 1 and 2

3.Darkest Dungeon ( Very challening and can be furstarting sometimes )

4.Original Fallout ( It's expectionally challening, if the character has a low intelligence. )

5.Starnger Bridger

Not like either of the games you mentioned, but it's brutally dark.

It's also brutal to play period as in one of those games where back in the day, you would have to take notes on every choice and permutation that resulted in death and click on every single pixel of the screen until you found a hidden object, lever, etc. allowing you to advance forward...and die again. Not in a fun way but in an abusive way. Great story, great author, just a very self-punishing game to play.

Good point, I'll list some more that are less dated and more easily accessible.
1. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
2. The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind
3. Clive Barkers Undying
4. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
5. System Shock 2

If you like Silent Hill games, I think you'd appreciate Rule of Rose. It's console, not on Steam but really dark and sad world. Great game.


Does the genre matter? I can't tell if you want actual dark games or want a specific genre.

The following are all different genres but super dark and the world building is intensely depressing as well. I like disturbingly dark games a lot so the list got a bit longer.

Masochisia is a favourite. Short. Super depressing in a good way.

The Cat Lady is sad but awesome. Has a really great fan base and the dev has other games in the same universe.

Fran Bow is popular and very good. It's not as depressing on the surface as the other ones though. If you think about it afterwards, it's really dark.

Sanitarium is similar to I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream but a little easier to swallow, imo.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/335000/Tormentum__Dark_Sorrow/

Tormentum has been mentioned already, but super gothic and beautiful.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/48000/LIMBO/

I prefer INSIDE but Limbo is much darker.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/424840/Little_Nightmares/

Really cool puzzle platforming, creative but dark/disturbing characters and setting.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/274520/Darkwood/

Top-down but frightening atmosphere and world. Especially fun if you like survival horror.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/253330/Neverending_Nightmares/

Movement is slow but an effective point/click adventure. Has scares.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/250620/Among_the_Sleep__Enhanced_Edition/

Just very sad story overall. First person.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/384110/Pathologic_Classic_HD/

Great dialogue heavy, depressingly crazy classic. Has a new Pathologic 2 coming out so may want to try that instead.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/435100/2Dark/

Difficult but rewarding and very dark world.

Also CAYNE is F2P from same dev.
