What's a good game to playthrough during Halloween?

[Catacombs]

Oh, I know of a good one! Dying light 2, haven't played that one yet.

The first game is the only one worth playing.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Dead Rising. Dead Rising is the perfect October Halloween season game. Second one isn't bad either, but the first one is the best.

Second game does have its qualities:

Golden Krone Hotel



It's a traditional roguelike with a vampire/gothic horror setting. It also has nice enough interface that you can play with a controller if you want.

Siren 2. Made by Team Silent, the guys that made the good Silent Hills. One of my favorite horror games, it is third person with tank controls. You are constantly shifting between different characters and timelines for every level, each one having different gameplay, from the generic teenager who can fight back but sucks at it, to a legitimate military soldier with full auto weapons, to a blind kid who can't fight at all and needs to see through the eyes of their service dog as well as the enemy to make your way around. If you like 2, you can play 1. 1 requires a walkthrough to complete, by design. That turns a lot of people off. I think 2 is one of the best mainstream horror games made, possibly better than Silent Hill depending on what you like in a game.

One of my favorite roguelikes alongside Infra Arcana. Truly a hidden gem.
It also got a pretty substantial update not too long ago.

No mention of....

 

[NecroLord]

"In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that raze the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well."

Yeah,System Shock is awesome.

Guilty Gear XX ACPR

 

[Machocruz]

I played these games over the last two Octobers + Halloweens and had some of the most fun with games I've had in a long time

Brutal Doom 64, vanilla works too
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (any good Castlevania is peak Halloween, really)
Shadowgate (NES, only and always)
Sweet Home

-all emulated

I also like Hexen, Shadow Tower Abyss, Dying Light for the season

 

[Matador]

The Castlevania game you like the most.

 

[Naraya]

Hmm, maybe Quake? (I might be a bit biased, I'm currently on a Lovecraft binge).

edit: actually when is NOT a good time to replay Quake?

Dusk

I'm in the mood after playing Prodeus

 

[rusty_shackleford]

oblivion

 

[Zlaja]

oblivion

'Feeling suicidal' is not the type of mood we're looking for here.

 

[Garyxeao88]

Try Resident Evil 2

 

[Matalarata]

If you're ok with some retrogaming, The Legacy: Realm of Terror, excellent horror game and probably my fav RPG in the genre.

 

[asper]

Already mentioned, but seconding Darkwood. It's an underrated gem. The atmosphere is palpable

 

[fuzz]

Scratches, Sanitarium.
Grab a d6 and start a campaign in Alone Against Fear.

 

[Chanel Oberlin]

Classic Castlevanias are the obvious, but don't forget the Splatterhouse series
