I am fascinated by games with 2D art that still manage to give you a good scare. I guess what I find interesting is if a game can manage to translate the scares and audio design which we know from 3D environments and movies. I have never really played any though. I would love to hear some suggestions, especially with Halloween coming soon!
Darkwood is terrifying especially with perma death on. Less emphasis on jump scares, more on terrifying environments and suspense.
That’s a good point. The “scary” genre spans a really wide range of games. Might help if OP lists some games that they particularly liked, and maybe any that aren’t quite what they’re looking for.

It’s pretty old now. I just was grabbing it because I remembered it and wanted an example where death wasn’t an issue, not looking for recommendations.
