Hey. I'm looking for gothic-esque games. I don't mean vampires (Masquerade) and edgy "badass" stuff (dark souls), I mean melancholic, genuinely dark and atmospheric games. Only two games I've been to able to find like it are Limbo and INSIDE.
very creepy, but both are pretty hard and can seem tedious at times
Easton Ward
Well, there is Gothic 2 : Night of the Raven
Xavier Baker
>gothic-esque games >Limbo and INSIDE what the fuck do you want again?
Dominic Wilson
Alice in wonderland is pretty good
Brody Powell
spec ops the line
Connor Mitchell
sunless sea? the gameplay is kinda meh, but the atmosphere and exploration stuff is top notch.
Dominic Adams
Guys, although the title is up to scratch, I'm not interested in that sort of thing, killing monsters and whatnot. I mean like this. Big difference to me
Ian White
I'll admit, that gave me a bit of a chortle
Logan Gonzalez
Bloodborne?
Brody Stewart
Dracula point and click games.
Aaron Sanchez
Gothic Gothic II Painkiller Quake Clock Tower (SNES) [don't bother with the sequels]
Isaac Parker
Bloodborne
Wyatt Foster
Bloodborne
Levi Ross
Im having trouble with your definition of "gothic" user. So I will say Hollow night because of its somewhat dark atmosphere and the arquiitechture desing of the levels, but by your exsmples I could be completely wrong in my recommendation.
set your monitor to grayscale then play a platformer
Luke Gonzalez
You mean "gothic" like dark and melancholy?
Dominic Sanchez
Dawn of War 1 and 2
Blake Gray
Pathologic
Ethan King
Amnesia or Penumbra perhaps?
Jayden Wood
...
Christopher Walker
Amnesia Dark Descent's castle levels are very Victorian
Jaxson Carter
...
Sebastian Allen
>and edgy "badass" stuff (dark souls), > I mean melancholic, genuinely dark and atmospheric games
But Souls games are melancholic and atmospheric.
Adam Gutierrez
Modded minecraft
Justin Russell
If you don't mind puzzle/point and click style games.
Josiah Morris
Yes.
Sebastian Jackson
You sound like a faggot OP
John Powell
>edgy "badass" stuff (dark souls)
Are you fucking serious
Grayson Thomas

Jackson Stewart
Total War Attila has not just one but TWO gothic factions.
Brayden Davis
hes just a special snowflake, so a faggot, yeh
Henry Lee
Holy shit! There were other people who played it?
Anyways, there's also the text heavy CRPG called Inquisitor. It builds it gothic world through words rather than visuals. BE WARNED : It's very text heavy. The original translation (from Czech or Polish, I don't remember) was pretty spotty and they just recently made a new one in the recent patch.
Luke Sanders
Lots of people played it retard
Thomas Lee
Planescape torment
Jeremiah Morris
The two most gothic games I have ever played are Silent Hill 2 and Pathologic. Pathologic being a full 10/10 goth and SH 2 like an 8/10 .
Alexander Richardson
There were Elvira RPGs as well
Evan Ramirez
...
Brayden Sanders
Amnesia
Dylan Torres
Cho Aniki is what you want
Luke Russell
Also, the classic Clive Barker's Undying
Dylan Jackson
Cho Aniki is what you're looking for.
Brayden Garcia
I guess many adventure games Ross played The Black Mirror, that looked pretty neat
William Reyes
I think you need to look up the definition of "gothic"
Lucas Murphy
Little Nightmares
Noah Cook
Try S.O.M.A. The story will blow your mind (Also dark and melancholic)
Elijah Phillips
no one likes your little kid game deal with it
Christian Flores
I have to say the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne are your best bet OP.
Elijah Cooper
Castlevania Lords of Shadow, lots of people here hate on it but it's a AA hack n' slash. Actual Gothic architecture and the story is very melancholic and like a greek tragedy. Great atmosphere.
Ayden Taylor
Yeah, they nailed in that aspect
Nathan Lee
Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. Ultima Underworld 1 (don't forget about CM-32L emulation via Munt). Tlon: A Misty Story (watch via youtube). Probably, Zork: Nemesis. Azrael's Tear. Pathologic Classic HD, to some extent.
Caleb Morales
Thief: The Dark Project and its sequel fit your criteria. The former in particular is imo by far the most atmospheric game ever.
Jose Bell
It almost doesn't exist. I bet it's because cogshit killed victorian settings and things like that.
But yeah try Pathologic, The Void, Clive Barker's Undying, Thief 1 & 2 and the American Mcgee's Alice games.
I'd add Sanitarium, Still Life, maybe the first Lucius, mediocre but has its moments.
Luis Hernandez
>Limbo and INSIDE. >gothic-esque Why even use this word when you can just say >melancholic, genuinely dark and atmospheric games
Anyways, I'd honestly love to see more (or any at all) goth shit in gaming but the best we can get is something along the lines of VTMB which is the cheesiest shit ever despite being a good ass game and a bunch kids in South Park listening to The Cure
Nathan Jones
Koudelka
Adam Parker
Oh and the Disciples series if you're into strategy
Ryan Nelson
>don't forget about CM-32L emulation via Munt Can you tell me more about it?
Lincoln Adams
Fata morgana no Yakata
Ryan Nelson
>edgy "badass" stuff (dark souls) That doesn't even make sense.
Carson Robinson
>Pool of Radiance LITERALLY the first time I've ever seen anyone mention that game on Sup Forums
Cooper Brown
This is not the amazing SSI classic, but that pathetic cashgrab dungeon crawler.
Michael Martinez
You want a game with no gameplay, just moody visuals and music?
Just go watch a fucking movie
Ayden White
Never found a pornstar that looked like her.
John Thomas
Man, that skeleton is stroking his boner.
Jonathan Ortiz
I strongly suggest The Room (not Tommy Wiseau fan game, the puzzle game). It has great visuals, starts mysteriously, and gets progressively more creepy without relying on any jump scares. There are 2 games ported to PC, and they're both worth it if you like puzzles.
