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!

Fear and Hunger and its sequel, Fear and Hunger 2: Termina, but with the caveat that you take its content warnings seriously. They're pretty intense and very explicit. There's censor mods for both if you're not too keen on huge swinging monster dongs, but i'd recommend going in vanilla if you're up for horror.

The two games are survival horror / immersive sims taking place in a medieval dungeon and a remote ww2 era town respectively, and they do what they do pretty well. There's a point where you might feel in control, but thats only after more than a couple playthoughs when you're ending hunting, the first runs through are nerveshredding. And even then, there are extra difficulty modes for when you need more chaos and tension.
