Edit 2: got a notification about Cronos: The New Dawn as I was launching Steam and decided to go for it. So far… holy hell, yep! Soo much yep! Just, uuh… turn off ray-tracing…

Edit: thanks so much to everyone who chimed in, there are some awesome recs in this thread! Also, really sorry to hear so many of you can relate to such games, good thing we have’em!

I apologise if I missed anyone’s comment.

OP: So, going through It™ again and my mood’s really gloomy. Anyone got any good recommendations to go with my mood?

To specify, PC-only, and I’m mostly asking for atmosphere, though some mechanical goodness will not go unappreciated. Thinking of stuff like Observer, Silent Hill, Darkwood, Arx Fatalis, Fallout: NV, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc. Played most of these except Bloodborne, gathering the patience to deal with emulation.

Edit: oh, and if the story’ll shred my soul to pieces, all the better! Hit me with your best shot!

    You have so many great recommendations so i am gonna add more.

    Gulf Club Nostalgia/Wasteland: when depression hits hard why not hit it harder with a tale of nostalgia for a world we have not yet lost.
    Simple golf game but the radio station is… A lot.

    To the Moon: the whole series is just what if all we could give those dying the happiness of a lie implanted in their memories and what can we provide for those still living who dont get it so easy?

    Among the Sleep: just a 2 year old kid and your mom has gone missing and the world is so scary in the dark.
