39. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes

A game I think seriously deserved to be played by way, way more people, I'd describe it sorta like a Survival Horror game that is *JUST* the puzzles. And they are some absolute doozies! Super unique feeling atmosphere to it too.

The stage is set. Imagine an old baroque manor, perhaps a hotel or a museum, somewhere in central Europe. A woman wanders in search of answers.

41. Mundaun

I keep telling people to play this, it's a magnificent Folk Horror story, presented in this gorgeous visual style where all the ingame textures were hand-drawn in pencil. Incredibly atmospheric, some neat puzzles, and you get to drive a neat little farm truck.

2. Caput Mortum

Extremely creepy little horror puzzle game where the idea is you control the player character's hand to interact with the environment and solve puzzles, and once you get used to the weird control scheme, it's utterly fascinating. Very neat game that flew under the radar.

Travel back to 16th-century France and delve into the mysterious depths of a seemingly abandoned alchemist's tower. Do you dare brave the horrors that beckon you below... deeper still?

22. Tormented Souls

I love oldschool Survival Horror, and I'm thoroughly enamoured with the sequel, but the original game is 75% off right now and is well worth playing. Some downright devious puzzles, fixed camera angles, even limited saves like RE's ink ribbons, it for real sicko genre grognards.

Terminei Fran Bow!!!
Só digo uma coisa: Joguem!

História super intrigante, puzzles inteligentes e personagens bem diferentes!! Achei interessante como eles não tiveram medo de mostrar o "horror" do game e a forma em que a Fran enxerga e lida com o mundo, deixa tudo mais único!

#Madvent day 8 brings us Express Shift!

I do love puzzles, but I prefer when figuring out the rules isn't part of the puzzle

I'd die if I faced the Riddler 🤔

God why are all horror game puzzles like “I wrote down the four parts of the code to this safe in four different places so I wouldn’t forget it” like buddy if you can’t remember a PIN how can you remember this Rube Goldberg mnemonic device?

In other news I think I’m softlocked in AW2 so yaaaay

Survival horror sections of games with instant fail states and randomized puzzles are not fun (looking at you Cyberpunk 2077 "Somewhat Damaged" mission)

Introducing my 15 y/o niece to my favorite horror game. She got to the part where we picked up the Camera Obscura and then handed me the controller because she got scared lol Now we've agreed she does the puzzles and I do the battles. Fair 👍

39. Detention. A Taiwanese side-scroller horror game with elements from their culture and mythology. Set in the 1960s White Terror period in Taiwan. Simple puzzles, creepy atmosphere and an interesting story. Last part of the game is weaker but doesn't affect the overall experience too much.

After over a decade in development hell, sci-fi horror Routine delivers a tense, old-school experience that trusts players to explore and solve puzzles without hand-holding.

A refreshing throwback to challenging, immersive gameplay. #RoutineGame #SciFiHorror

Worked on the prototype for the next Xivek's Toybox game. It's inspired by old RPG maker horror games. this prototype has dialog text, signs, items the player picks up, puzzles that give items, locked doors, a hiding mechanic, and a monster that can chase the player!

What are your favourite puzzles in survival horror games?

I think mine are, "when the two have run each other through" clock from RE1 and the "I hope you know Shakespeare because if not Heather's not ever leaving this fucking mall" one from the hard mode in SH3.

Honestly, Resident Evil (and the survival horror genre) is kind of built out of "Bad game mechanics" and I love them all:

- Tank Controls
- Back Tracking
- Inventory Management
- Esoteric Puzzles
- Escort Quests
- Save Ribbons

Trying something new. Dead Take.

It's a puzzle/horror game, by all accounts. As I love horror, this appeals to me. But admittedly I suck at puzzles. So... yeah.

It's hard to see, so I'll make some adjustments later.

This is another pre-rendered test I'm doing in GameMaker. It was a bit more hard than I expected, but the system works for now.

This is for 'Evangelho da Carne, the one with Klonoa-inspired puzzles.
