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

You kinda hit the peak of bad vibes with drakengard and signalis. I can't think of any games even near to the levels of pure hopelessness.

Amnesia and penumbra are fun, especially the new amnesia the bunker. Cryostasis is a very unique experience. The sinking city is fun if quite light hearted in its approach, personally feel that's quite an underrated game.

Omori might be something to look into. Fromsoftware games generally have quite a despair ridden vibe, my personal favourite being kingsfield 4 because the music SMACKS
