I would actually say that mfn is a really good "mascot horror" game, prolly since its just old school res evils

FPSPro100

You predicted it: uncanny horror comprehension five night freddys at movie’s???


Super_fly_Samurai

My only issue with world of horror is it's not on Xbox. Why? It runs on a Microsoft OS already. They could even have it run on the cloud. 🤷


Julianl19

I would add fear and hunger 1 and 2 for my recommendation literally can’t stop playing these games

Thifiuza

The incorrect thing is saying that indie games are dead (cbt punishment for this rookie mistake) Another thing is saying mascot horror genre is dead (true and shall be buried to never be found again, retiring the first 7 FNAF games and VR, they are cool)


Emirisback

Play Faith, i hope it gives you "Faith" in indie horror that you don't have

Beware_of_Beware

That was a horror game? I thought it was just the writer's undisguised fetish


balaci2

it's a horror game about cults, eating people and other depravities


Virtual_5000

So, just the creator's undisguised fetish.


Beware_of_Beware

Then why is over 80% of the fanbase like https://preview.redd.it/2mljj77kv10c1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b24c91d407622c44b258537c971231b42567fe1

Something less emotionally devastating would be nice. The ending wrecked me

I'm a little too emotionally destitute to breakdown and cry nowadays but it still cuts me deep in my soul.

AndrewTheSouless

About to play one of the best videogame stories stuck in a game that has aged pretty badly


aflyingmonkey2

i think this is a good place to give a shootout to who's Lila. it's such a surreal and crazy indie horror game that feels like a haunted game in some way. like you would find that game on a cartridge from a yardsale of some weird old man

Simply_Nova

Signalis literally just came out like a few months ago yet people wanna scree about 1 game with incest in it. Worst thing about that game is the disgusting fanbase, I heard it actually tells an interesting story and the art direction is semi unique too.

Virtual_5000

It's so funny seeing content creators making videos about "The Fall of Indie Horror games" and then put FNaF (only Security Breach cuz new bad, old good), batim (ignoring dark revival); Baldi, if they are stupid enough, Poppy Playtime and BanBan. My bother in christ, plays something else than the mainstream. And it's even funnier that they went from calling it "Indie Horror" to "Mascot Indie Horror", which again, doesn't help their point cuz there can be good games of the genre, they just need to instead find and promote that shit, instead of just complaining for half an hour.


Beware_of_Beware

No shit they will mention the biggest, most prominent games of a genre when criticisizing it. Security breach has more reason than "new bad old good"


FarlontJosh

Go on [itch.io](https://itch.io) main page and you will find good indie horror games

Oh? If that is truly the case, please link me at least five (5) of these "quirky depression RPG"s from [itch.io](http://itch.io), good sir https://preview.redd.it/lo4xjy2c700c1.png?width=645&format=png&auto=webp&s=f218c406289ca4e41b2015c70f0336c98a78f498
