A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

It's not outright horror so much as horror-themed (as in: the game isn't really scary) but I will recommend Withering Rooms to anyone and everyone who listens.

One of the most impressive solo dev games I've played. Super fun, interesting world building, gorgeous music, immaculate vibes.

Two of the main inspirations for it are Silent Hill and Bloodborne, I forgot to say. You should absolutely play it, it's phenomenal. Sequel is out in Early Access as well as we speak, although I would recommend waiting on the full release next spring. Needs a bit more time in the oven.
