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

Dead Space, the remake is good

As an aside, people here actually like Signalis? It seemed really anti-communist.

Maybe I should replay it but as far as I remember the Eusan nation felt more like a fascist colonial regime, with an apartheid element regarding the replikas. It did use some imagery reminiscent of vintage communist propaganda, but I dont think that's damning on its own.

I could be misremembering though it has been a few years.

The developers are German and the government in game uses a flag that's almost exactly like the DDR flag.

I get it, the gameplay was good and they did a good job with the atmosphere/art, but I just felt annoyed when I finished cause the anticommunism felt constant, including the conclusion. Also weird vibes from making almost all characters anime lesbians when both creators are men.
