Besides VmtB, what are some other 'October' RPGs?

Stygian is coming out as well and that's certainly an October game. What are some others?

(not horror, but has a very bleak atmosphere, and I always feel the urge to play this in October)

Grab the Codex by the pussy Divinity: Original Sin Torment: Tides of Numenera Shadorwun: Hong Kong Pathfinder: Kingmaker Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture
If we are going for scary/creepy, then I would recommend System Shock 1 and 2. I love the feeling of isolation and creepiness in both games. I think Planescape: Torment might qualify as horrific in places. The first Witcher games has moments of gothic horror.

Sanitarium? I don't know, never played it but it seems creepy. Is that game good, by the way? I might give it a spin sometime. Also, Riven seems like a good autumn game. Mysterious and chilly, the game gives off a sort of fall vibe imo.

It's not the most complex RPG around, but I found the first Diablo game to have a satisfyingly disturbing atmosphere without being too gruesome. Not really a scary experience, though.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I helped put crap in Monomyth
Unironically: Bloodborne.

Ironically: any crap RPG that'll scare you how incompetent the devs were.

Otherwise everything good has already been mentioned. Witcher 1 for sure.

The greatest 'October' RPG is Arcanum

The melancholic string orchestra, kinda grim world with an uncertain future between magic and technology... the industrial revolution and gray streets of industrial towns like Tarant...

Not an RPG. Behind its awful controls hides a very enjoyable adventure game. Could have closed better, but everything that happens along the way makes it worth the time.

Also, it's fucking Spring here, so go play Dink Smallwood.

Vampyr - even considering obvious flaws of the game
