Hello fellow gamers! I’m on the hunt for some indie titles, especially in the horror genre if possible. I have a preference for games that feature a low polygon graphic style, similar to games like Mouthwash or Crow Country. I currently have access to PS Plus Essentials, so I’m looking for any recommendations that might fit this description. I’m really into games that prioritize atmosphere and storytelling over high-end graphics. I’d love to hear about any games you think I should try!
Iron Lung is exactly what you want. Minimal graphics but insanely atmospheric - you’re stuck in a sub on a blood ocean with just a tiny camera to see through. The tension is incredible. Dredge is another solid pick if you want more exploration with similar vibes. Both nail the retro polygon style and are genuinely creepy.
Paratopic nails this - weird low-poly visuals and genuinely unsettling atmosphere throughout.
World of Horror could work for you. Retro pixel art that nails the creepy vibe without needing fancy graphics.
Lost in Vivo nails that chunky PS1 aesthetic and genuinely creeps you out with its psychological horror.
Check out Puppet Combo games. They nail that chunky PS1 aesthetic and deliver genuine scares without cheap jump scares.
