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!

I enjoyed these games, but as you said, they are not very scary, especially after you get used to the atmosphere.

Is there a reason Limbo is being talked about these days? My 10 year old nephew was going on about it at the weekend. Did some streamer play it recently?

Signalis is my vote.
Even though it’s technically 2.5D I’d also recommend Inside.
Darkwood, Fear & Hunger and Faith are some of the spookiest games I’ve played, and they are all 2D. They create horror via suspense and dread instead of just jump scares.
Hide and Seek [Story of Dorothy]
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!
There’s a collection of spooky indie game reviews on Errant Signal’s channel. Faith looks like something you could be interested in.
Game which I always find too scary: project zomboid. Really gives me the nerves.
That’s 3d tho
Is it tho? Yeah you have maybe levels in a house, but more than that no. It is Y symmetric, which I find 2D.
Yes, yes it is 3d.
Damn crazy argument back. I don’t even care who is right or wrong but arguing with you fullfills no purpose.
Argument? Dafuq? It’s a measurable fact, no argument to be had, if you want to deny it in your head cannon because of the lack of verticality that’s completely fine, but that doesn’t change what it is.
I love it when people get way to worked up on the internet and start getting salty without saying anything with content.

Isometric is a 2D way to make 3d visuals. So okay semantics, answer is, depends on the way you look at it.
Isometric is a perspective, I never said anything about it not being isometric, I said it’s 3d. Again, if you want to not consider it 3d for the sake of your head canon that’s fine, but it’s factually 3d regardless.
