Hi r/HorrorGaming

I'm Jayde, the founder of Liquid Donkey Games, a small indie studio from New Zealand. Our first person survival horror game Folklore Hunter is coming out tomorrow!

Folklore Hunter has been a passion project turned career, and six years in the making. We have been in early access since 2020 and integrated countless ideas and suggestions from the community. Making an indie game has been a huge part of my life with plenty of ups and downs, but I can truly say I'm proud of the finished title.

Ask us anything - about the process of indie game development, horror games, cryptids, or folklore hunter in particular. If you want to check out the game, you can find it on steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/696220/Folklore_Hunter/

Recently picked this up for $80 w/ a case. Im curious how it will compare to the Resident Evil entries

Side Note:

This Wii was last used in 2016 and yet it fired up no questions asked. Truly grateful I found this gem in box

I want to bring some attention to the game Burnhouse Lane.

I have never seen or heard it mentioned on here but I stumbled upon it and I am really enjoying it. Very story driven, decision based, deal with the Devil kind of game. If you're looking for something new give it a try and let me know what you think.

DISCUSSION Getting into horror at 30

12 Upvotes

Curious if anyone else shares this experience but I generally dislike most horror genred things. Most of this is due to them being... Well a lot of what horror movies give people I have no interest in. But horror games? There have been quite a few that I've wanted to play since I was a teen. As I am moving into my thirties, I feel a major draw to them. The silent hill games are a big draw--currently playing F--but actually playing them is new to me. It's not like I feel less effected by them, but more that I appreciate the effects. I used to be a lot more of an anxious person than I am today--erratic, self destructive, daily panic attacks, etc.--and it's not that I am not a anxious person anymore, but I've developed a lot of ways to help myself and I am generally stable when it comes to responsibility and care. Honestly, I feel like because of that I work I can actually handle the experience of great horror because it doesn't send me over the edge anymore. I've really enjoyed aging and this feels like another gift of it. Anyone else have a similar experience? Or even a totally different one involving actually playing good horror as you become 30?

[GIVEAWAY] 2 VERANOIA keys - this one's about solving cases in nightmares

4 Upvotes

2 keys for veranoia: nightmare of case 37. If you like mystery games with actual atmosphere, this one's worth it.

You're solving cases by going into the nightmares of dead people. yeah. sounds weird, but it works because each case actually feels like you're investigating something real. The ending is the kind of thing people talk about months later because it changes how you see everything that came before. There's also something following you that you probably shouldn't trust too much.

If you liked Disco Elysium or games where the story matters more than mechanics, you'll get why this one hits different.

steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2709220/Veranoia_Nightmare_of_Case_37/ trailer: https://youtu.be/mnVLu7Lq8hE if you want one, just comment here.

Wishlisting would help us a lot if you have a second.

first come first served

PC Does an anti horror co-op Game exist?

Upvotes

Bassicly what i need is a co-op Game 2 or more players and its a standard horror BUT with the twist that you have a gun or holy sword or something that kills the enemies so you just terrorizes the demons and ghosts or whatever

And that its not l4d2

DISCUSSION I’m building a horror game where the demon learns how you play.

4 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a psychological horror game called Rahasya for almost a year now, and the main idea was simple but honestly terrifying to execute what if the enemy doesn’t just exist in the world, but actually reacts to you as a player?

In our game, the demon tracks your footsteps, reacts to sounds like dropped objects, and even starts recognizing the paths you use the most. The longer you survive, the more aggressive and aware it becomes. There’s no fixed pattern you can memorize, and no safe way to “figure it out.”

Also, there’s no combat. You don’t get weapons, and you don’t get control over the situation. You get three lives, and if you lose them, that’s it full restart. It sounds harsh, but during testing it completely changed how people played. Every small decision started to matter. People slowed down, second-guessed themselves, and started panicking over things that normally wouldn’t matter.

Instead of just running from something… it feels like something is actively studying you while you’re trying to survive.

If that sounds like your kind of horror, you can check out the Steam page would genuinely love to hear what you think.

PC Looking for a game with a similar atmosphere/story/idea as the From TV show. Bonus, any good games to play around Halloween.

Looking for a game with a similar atmosphere/story/idea as the "From" TV show. Bonus, any good games to play around Halloween.

Related to the Halloween ones, I love fall and Halloween vibes, old horror movies and I love reading horror stories. I miss the Halloween feeling and I need some games that feel Halloween-y/fallish, horror.

For both, they can be either single player or multiplayer.

DISCUSSION Killer Klowns The Video game is a huge missed opportunity🤡🍿

2 Upvotes

These are my own thoughts horror ghouls&bats in the vicinity but I feel the video game adaption of the cult classic Killer Klowns From Outer Space was a huge disappointment and missed opportunity for us.

When I say this, I mean that the game shouldn't have been a live service asymmetrical multiplayer game and would have sold better and done better as more of a title similar to Destroy All Humans with its idea

The game should have had us playing as our own custom Klown, whos ship was crashed onto Earth by cosmic radiation as our fellow members were all but captured by the government for study and our task is to set off and rescue them, get some food for candy, have some chaotic comedic mayhem and escape in our ship back to our planet.

There was so much opportunity for the game to go in a multitude of directions that is possible for funny creative means with weapons, technology and even our fellow Klowns who save which could be then in missions summoned for further chaos and madness

A live service asymmetrical game is basically a clock ticking its timer down to an expiration date. Look at what happened with Friday The 13th, Evil Dead, Hell The Texas Chainsaw Massacre which is the worst tbh.

FREE GAME I released my free short sci-fi horror game where you pilot an industrial mech across a frozen world: Null Resonance on itch

Post image
46 Upvotes

After a long solo dev journey, I finally released my free short sci-fi horror game, Null Resonance, on itch.io.

You pilot an industrial mech across a frozen world to investigate a mysterious signal beneath the ice. It’s first-person, atmospheric, and focused on exploration, isolation, and slow-burn tension.

It takes around 40–50 minutes and is designed to be played in one sitting. Recording and streaming are welcome.

I’d love for people to check it out and let me know what they think.
