A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Really scary 2D horror games? (lemm.ee)

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!

Oxenfree messed me up when I played it a few years ago. It's got this super eerie vibe to it that really ratchets up the tension and sense of dread.

A game I played recently might do the job too, it's called Signalis. It plays a bit like a 2D Resident Evil game, but with a slightly more interesting story.

Oh, I did play Oxenfree! Heh, until you described it like you did I never thought of it as a horror game, but you are absolutely right, it is pretty creepy! Thanks for recommending Signalis, I will check it out
