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
I’ve been playing Hungry Horrors. It is quite charming and based on British monsters/myths.
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
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)
Halloween Harry
MediEvil has a lot of spooky vibes mixed with its cheesy skeleton slapstick.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
