looking for something with bad vibes and a good story, games with a similar feel to:

  • Drakengard 1

  • Silent Hill 2

  • Signalis.

  • Spec ops: The line

  • Hotline Miami

edit: to be more specific, looking for something with that "Heart of Darkness" decent into madness vibe

Hellblade: Senua’s sacrifice has to be experienced (with headphones), but it’s the best game story in terms of depicting ND and coping with grief.

I did play hellblade, but I personally wasn't a huge fan of the story. Its kinda hard to put yourself in a characters shoes if they start out mad, rather than descending into it.

Easy for me, I was already there lol.

Probably why I liked it. It actually has a lot of empathy for how Senua experienced reality

You might like Drakengard 1 in that case, The gameplay is awful to the point of maddening and the mc starts out pretty mad before descending from there. not to mention the soundtrack.

I cant really describe why I like it if its arguably objectively bad, but you wont find anything else quite like it.

Gabriel construct vibes from that, good shit

Idk if I got the story wrong but isn’t SA a big part of her symptoms?
