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

      Maybe I should replay it but as far as I remember the Eusan nation felt more like a fascist colonial regime, with an apartheid element regarding the replikas. It did use some imagery reminiscent of vintage communist propaganda, but I dont think that's damning on its own.

      I could be misremembering though it has been a few years.

        The developers are German and the government in game uses a flag that's almost exactly like the DDR flag.

        I get it, the gameplay was good and they did a good job with the atmosphere/art, but I just felt annoyed when I finished cause the anticommunism felt constant, including the conclusion. Also weird vibes from making almost all characters anime lesbians when both creators are men.
