looking for something with bad vibes and a good story, games with a similar feel to:

  • Drakengard 1

  • Silent Hill 2

  • Signalis.

  • Spec ops: The line

  • Hotline Miami

edit: to be more specific, looking for something with that "Heart of Darkness" decent into madness vibe

For someone who likes both Signalis and Hotline Miami? Yeah, this is the one

It's one of my favorite downer stories in any medium

spoiler The thing that got me interested in the game was a video of a certain boss fight The fact that I hadn't seen that boss yet at the "end" of the game accidentally spoiled the gut punch lol :::

does that have a cohesive story? store page describes it as a rougelike.

It's got a story in the same way that something like Metroid Prime has a story, sort of "it's not driving things but it's there if you want it."
