Two weird and disturbing horror games coming next year

Post by Gambit37 »

These two games coming next year both look disturbing in different ways: (Warning: NSFW and disturbing for those with sensitive disposition)

Agony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZHO9KugwTQ
Scorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvBo_rKleNw

I generally don't have the stomach for the horror genre anymore (despite having read and watched tons of it growing up), and I doubt I would enjoy that gruesome looking "Agony", but "Scorn" with it's Giger inspired aesthetic looks like something I might try.

What do others think? (Assuming you could get through those videos!)

I'm not sure you want to hear this again :roll: , Gambit, but I think I'll stick to point-and-click adventures - can't wait for Thimbleweed Park to be released :wink: . Frankly, I don't find these videos disturbing - I find them dull to say the least, to be honest. But of course I understand that someone might see the games that I play as dull, so it's a draw :roll: .

No, really - the older I get, the more I want games I play / books I read / films I watch to be entertaining (not directly funny, or even comic or full of jokes, but just fun to play / read / watch), relaxing, not too serious. I can't take too seriously a game that takes itself too seriously, if you know what I mean. A game like Agony would be... a... agony for me :roll: .
Finally playing and immensely enjoying the awesome Thimbleweed Park-a-reno!

I don't play horror games. I think about the scariest games I've ever played were only scary in a couple of parts and those were in the Thief series. That said, I have seen a few playthroughs of some scary games on YouTube. I'm pretty fully read up on the Five Nights at Freddy's series because I find the lore interesting, but I haven't played any of them and wouldn't ever want to :D.
