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.

Really scary 2D horror games? (lemm.ee)

I am fascinated by games with 2D art that still manage to give you a good scare. I guess what I find interesting is if a game can manage to translate the scares and audio design which we know from 3D environments and movies. I have never really played any though. I would love to hear some suggestions, especially with Halloween coming soon!

Check out the Rusty Lake games! They're some of my favorite horror indies; hand-drawn-looking point and click games. Don't be fooled by the simplistic art style, it has plenty of spooky animations and sound direction. Very Twin Peaks inspired.

Start with the Cube escape collection on steam, and then work your way through by release date from there. They're pretty short so it shouldn't take too long!
