Title: Good Horror Games?
Post by: on Wed 02/08/2006 17:44:10
I Need to find some good horror, or at least some good thriller "adventure" games either AGS or other. think Trilby or PHantasmagoria. Thanks

I assume you're familiar with the three Yahtzee games since you mention Trilby. Prodigal is another nice AGS horror game. And if you don't mind a text parser, a favorite of mine is the AGI game Enclosure.

I would suggest Ben Jordan 3 and 4, by Francisco Gonzalez (aka Grundislav). They are somewhat horror-themed. Although you probably should play 1 and 2 before those.

Also another good horror game is Lost In The Nightmare, by Ahmet Keles (aka Gord10). All of these you can find in the AGS Games database.

Then, in the non-AGS department, there's always Enclosure, which is a quite creepy amateur AGI game.

For good non-AGS games I recommend Gabriel Knight II - it's not as explicit, but it builds up beautifully.

I'd also recommend Shadow of the Comet (if you can find it) or the Hound of Shadow (a text game), but I wouldn't consider Prisoner of Ice - Lovecraft is not done well in that one.

A decent albeit short thriller AGS game is Stranger by Night. And I third what inky and GG said about enclosure - it's top-notch.

I recomend you to play shivers I and shivers II , It's not so good like GK II and Phantasmagoria but has a atmosphere very enclosing, and some good scare parts

Also try Lighthouse.. but as I said before Phantasmagoria I is a very good thriller movie game.

Hmnmm....I haven't heard great things about lighthouse though. I heard it's a little bit like Myst, and in all the wrong ways...
