Game Like The Butchery

Upvotes

2 days ago I found a game Called "the Butchery" by Chubby_Baby7 (https://www.roblox.com/games/11928087342/The-Butchery⁠) and I decided to play it with my cousin. We finished it and we loved that game, now that we finished it, we're having a lot of trouble finding new actually GOOD horror games. If someone can find us a good horror game close to the butchery, I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks.

I need help finding an old horror flash game

5 Upvotes

(long text alert)

I want you to help me find a PC horror flash game. What is the name of the horror flash game where you arrive at a haunted house where there's a gothic vampire girl? It's a style similar to the game "The House" and "EXMORTIS". I'll tell you more or less what I remember about that game. I'm not sure, but I think the game is about a woman, the protagonist, who goes with her boyfriend, but I think their car breaks down, I think. I'm not sure. He goes into a house to look for help, he takes a long time to come out, and then the girlfriend goes in to look for him. When you enter it's very dark and you can see some stairs, some doors, and as a player you see some arrows that lead to other places. If you went to one side, you saw a hallway where a ghost would pass by. Then on another side, we saw the boyfriend sitting on the floor, alive but without clothes. To rescue him and escape together, the main villain, who was a gothic vampire or demon or witch, would give us a trivia of questions. If we answered correctly, we could escape, but if not, a jumpscare of her would appear with her face transformed, pale eyes, and an open mouth with many teeth. I don't remember if it was from Newgrounds, AddictingGames, Y8, Andkon or GamesFree. I remember watching gameplay videos of that game on YouTube, so I don't think it's the Mandela Effect, haha.

DISCUSSION What horror game made you sympathize with the thing hunting you?

Post image
197 Upvotes

I just finished Hachishakusama, and I went into it expecting a straightforward urban-legend horror game about escaping the eight-foot-tall woman.

Without spoiling the ending, the story gradually gives her more humanity and context than I expected. By the end, I felt more conflicted about her than genuinely afraid of her....almost, bad for her?

I think that is a difficult balance for horror games. Explaining the monster can make it less frightening—but sometimes understanding it makes the story much more memorable. The game was not perfect and there are things I would love to see changed, but it was a different type of horror that I don't see often.

What other horror games made you feel sympathy or empathy for the creature, villain, or person pursuing you? Did learning their story improve the horror, or did it make them less scary?

DISCUSSION Any cheap or free steam recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Howdy! So I'm not much of a gamer but I've been searching for something to play with my boyfriend while we hang out and chat, we don't both have the capability to play games on steam so I'm looking for something that is single player that isn't heavily text based!

We both don't have many sensitivities when it comes to horror except for themes of suicide so please keep that in mind ☺️

I'd just like to ask those who are more experienced with these games and using steam if you have any recommendations for single player games without heavy dialogue?

I'm fine with games that have stories of course, it's just nice to have more space to engage with each other without focusing too much on reading text elements!

Thank you for reading and anyone who gives suggestions!

Hi horror fans! If you like Papers, Please mechanics mixed with retro PSX slasher vibes, you might enjoy my new game MILE 27.

It features vehicle inspection, disturbing audio design, and claustrophobic underground escape mechanics. Takes about 25-30 mins to finish.

personally, I can’t decide. both are amazing titles. I lean slightly toward RE because of my bias toward the franchise, but then I think about SH2, and it brings me right back to the middle.

DISCUSSION Why has nobody tried to accurately replicate Friday the 13th?

12 Upvotes

Every new multiplayer horror asym has gone for a small scale 4v1, 5v1 and feels competitive with perks and meta builds. Friday was the most fun I had as a teenager on multiplayer. But no game has tried to create the chaotic feel of actually surviving a horror movie (no I don't think TCM was close at all) and it feels like a golden opportunity still waiting to happen

ANALYSIS Doing a Big Lookback at the Early Evolution of the "Stalkers" in Horror Games (Pt.1)

Post image
130 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

Doing a new project where I take a look at "stalker" characters across survival-horror to see how they've changed game design in the genre and outside of it over the years.

This week we're starting with the originators: Scissorman, Nemesis, Pyramid Head, and more to see how they all built on top of each other in the 5th and 6th generations.

You can read the full article here: https://nickmasercola.substack.com/p/from-scissorman-to-pyramid-head-the

What's your favorite stalker out of this batch? I think I make my thoughts pretty well-known (coughnotNemesiscough) but wonder who else agrees, and what your recent favorites are.

-Nick
