Observer really felt like some sort of short story set in the Blade Runner universe, I really enjoyed that game a lot.

Spencer being a crazy rear end in a top hat who likes to put insane puzzle locks all over the place is very canon for ResiEvil in general, just presume he had a hand in Racoon City in general.

Yeah the setting grabbed me but the survival stuff really felt pointless, the ending is pretty loving nuts though.

Hot drat I need to grab that Carrion demo, that game is super my jam. I actually am enjoying Conarium quite a bit, the puzzle Im on is maybe a bit too complicated but its decent otherwise.

Sea Salt has you playing as literally Dagon, directing your horde of unearthly horrors to exact revenge on a town that stopped feeding you sacrifices. Also, you get to summon crabs.

That sucks about the lovely devs of Rachel Foster, I played a bit of it before getting a refund and they managed to make a really amazingly spooky atmosphere. I saw some people online playing this game, it looks kinda neat for a budget title.

They really nailed the feeling of being a sentient liquidy goo monster where you don't have precise control over yourself, the game feels really good to play. Also grabbin dudes and smashing them against the ceiling is really satisfying.

Oh yeah almost forgot, if you played Lakeview Cabin and wanted a sequel, good news!

I started playing through the second season of The Last Door, man they do some effective spookyness for something with such simplified visuals. They got me real good with a few of the jump scares, and the sound is amazingly good.

It's probably been mentioned in this thread, and most probably by me, but I just played through both seasons of The Last Door and had a super awesome time. They rely a little bit too much on occasional jump scares possibly, and there are a few inventory bugs that can easily be fixed by just exiting out to the menu and going back in, but they manage to nail the bleak uneasy dread of good cosmic horror even though its all simple pixels. The music is very well done, which was a nice surprise, and the sound effects in general are all very decent. The puzzles can be a bit hit-or-miss, especially in the second season, I had to get hints for a few of the late game ones because they were pretty obtuse. Overall, it's probably one of my favorite horror games in recent years and an example of a Kickstarter working out well.
Also I love me some NiTW, I am a trash mammal!

Can’t say I’m a fan of any TBF content; care to share the laundry for the lazy among us?

The devs were super salty nobody wanted to blindly trust their vision, due to them not releasing any kind of playable build for people to have a poke at. So their kickstarter failoed and they were mad about it.

Remember your growl will cause the save points to ping.
I found the exploration flow really nudges you in the correct direction for progress usually, I only got turned around a couple of times. I kept missing doors to change areas since they kind of look like the rest of the background a bit.

I always thought the ending of Shadow was even though the Navy bombed the reef, Dagon and his Deep Ones didn't give a single toss about it and things went on as they always were going to, the entire thing was the usual meaningless flailing at the inevitable.

The thing in Observer is probably the closest to what encountering a truly alien intelligence night be like, that game is super great but also not horror.
More like a really superb Outer Limits/Twilight Zone.
