What games would you pick that aren’t really a part of the horror genre, but maybe have horror vibes, or fall vibes, or something else that makes them really suited for fall?
I get the sense that the recent Resident Evil games are basically zombie-themed shooters rather than proper horror games, but I haven’t played them to confirm.
Depends on what you mean by recent. Some of the entries have definitely been more action horror than scary horror, but RE9 was a really solid blend of both, with lots of stealth required when playing as Grace for the first time, and that’s the most recent one.
8 was more action-oriented too, but 7 was actually pretty controversial for introducing a totally new protagonist for the purpose of recapturing the survival horror theme.
System Shock and Bioshock
Not a gory horror game but Alan Wake 2 has been making me feel a very certain way lately.
DEFINITELY the right atmosphere
Playing The Thaumaturge RN and it totally gives off spooky vibes but isn’t actually frightening
I’ve been playing Hungry Horrors. It is quite charming and based on British monsters/myths.
Darkest Dungeon
Dark Souls 1 cus you get to be cozy by bonfires
Team Fortress 2 for the halloween event(s).
I got Mouthwashing from a kind lemming and it certainly has vibes
Dwarf Fortress with the Autumn Kingdom mod:

(I highly recommend watching Krugg’s DF content)
MediEvil has a lot of spooky vibes mixed with its cheesy skeleton slapstick.
Halloween Harry
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
