That definitely fits the concept of horror game because goddamn if that game doesn't go thereOriginally Posted by openroadracer
For me, besides the incredibly obvious pick of Resident Evil 4 (because duh) and maybe Killer7 if you really stretch things because it steals so much from David Lynch, I'd have to say either Masochisia or The Suffering.
The Suffering is, like, a near perfect mixture of satisfying mechanics and atmosphere. It's like Silent Hill with the constant implications replaced with suffocating violence and gore, and it works really well with the prison and rage themes. On the other hand, no game has ever gotten in my head so well and stayed there as much as Masochisia did. It's a short, cheap indie adventure game that deals with topics of mental stability, fate, and abuse, and it does it in a brilliantly meta way that ends up flipping around what seems to be the entire point once you reach the end.
The fact that the revelation that you're playing as
Spoiler warning:
ends up being one of the minor revelations should tell you a lot.
Also, the scene with the gears.
THE SCENE WITH THE FUCKING GEARS.
