Hey everyone! I’m a big fan of retro-style horror games, especially those that capture the vibe of the original PlayStation era. I’ve been searching for some awesome indie titles that really nail that PS1 aesthetic in the horror genre. You know, the kind with low-poly graphics, tank controls, and that eerie atmosphere we all remember.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I’m looking for games that go beyond just copying the style but actually deliver a genuinely scary experience. Maybe something with a unique twist or an interesting story? I’d love to hear about your favorites and why you think they stand out. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Seems like Puppet Combo is the go-to for PS1-style horror. I’d throw ‘Paratopic’ into the mix too. It’s got that low-poly look but with a really trippy, unsettling vibe. Not your typical horror game, but definitely nails that retro feel with a twist.
Totally agree on Puppet Combo games. ‘Power Drill Massacre’ is another one that’ll make you sweat. It’s got that gritty PS1 look down pat and some seriously intense chase scenes.
Puppet Combo’s games are pretty solid for that PS1 horror vibe. They really nail the grainy, low-poly look and the creepy atmosphere. ‘Murder House’ is probably their best known one. ‘Conscript’ is another good one if you want something with a war setting. It’s got that classic survival horror feel with limited resources and tense encounters. Both of these really capture that old-school horror game essence without feeling like straight copies.
Puppet Combo’s stuff is already mentioned, but ‘Bloodwash’ is another gem in that style. It’s got that grungy PS1 look and a really unsettling atmosphere. The laundromat setting is pretty unique for a horror game too.
Puppet Combo’s stuff is great for that retro horror feel. ‘Nun Massacre’ is another creepy one with those classic PS1 vibes. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into that style.
