    Does anyone have recommendations. I’ve really enjoyed Dredge and I’m not into first person in your face horror games because I dont feel like that’s was makes horror great for me.

      Sunless sea is not only horror, but horror/mystique is a big part of the atmosphere. I had a lot of entertainment from that game.

          I have it in my library but i still didn’t play it, so i can’t. Sunless sea is a safer bet.

      If you find any, let me know. Dredge was an 11/10 for me. So good.

      Edit: was looking through and saw “strange horticulture”. I’ve heard it’s a similar vibe and pretty good.

        I totally agree, i even buy the DLC to have more content to play. I’ll check Sunless Sea too.

        Strange horticulture has a free demo. It was a pretty enjoyable combination of learning about plants and uncovering the sinister curse using a map.

      Ahh well… I was gonna say the OG “Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth” was fantastic. But it’s an FPS. 😔

      The Sinking City is really good, and 3rd person. Though I am not sure where to buy it that would go to the devs and not the garbage publisher that fucked them over.

        I understand that is over and whatever store you buy it, it goes to devs.
