Okay admittedly as much as I love horror movies and books I'm SUCH a baby when it comes to games - but I still want your recommendation list! It's a genre I want to explore more!
first of all, going to recommend it right back to you since you told me about it: SIGNALIS
it's become my favorite game and made me love and appreciate the survival horror genre so much. it's also one of the most interesting works of fiction i've experienced in any media. I STILL THINK ABOUT IT even though i played it about a year ago!! this is my top horror recommendation.
Mundaun is a folk horror game with a hand drawn art style, set in a remote village in the alps. it's weird, it's funny, it's spooky. you can drive a little truck and collect hay and pet goats and ride a sled down the snowy mountain. sometimes there are Horrors.
In Sound Mind is a psychological survival horror game where you play as a... psychiatrist! It's not very serious all the time and it has campy humor and there's a cat you can pet! one of the levels was basically straight out of Alan Wake and it was awesome. the soundtrack is also amazing. i'd say this game is more spooky and fun than scary and i really enjoyed it and i wish more ppl knew about it.
No one lives under the lighthouse is a short (3-4 h) spooky horror game with ps1 style graphics. play this if you like lighthouses, cosmic horrors and want to be stranded on tiny desolate island.

Talk Shop Tuesday: What are some little habits or things you do as a part of your writing routine that are "unnecessary" but are a part of the experience for you? (i.e. always making a cup of tea before you write, making mood boards for inspiration, needing certain music playing, etc.)?
Thanks <3 -@fieldsofview
Hi @fieldsofview !! I hope your Tuesday is treating you well! Thank you for sending this in!
I love this question because it implies a ritual, like I'm preparing to summon something by gathering offerings. Which is precisely what I'm doing when I sit down to write, actually.
I do always make myself either a coffee or a tea, and I grab a bottle of water before getting started. Because getting up in the middle of a creative burst to take care of my hydration needs is a buzzkill. Also, I have a dog who thinks he needs to stand at attention and follow me whenever I get up to go anywhere, so preparing before I sit down means that he'll also remain seated/sleeping while I'm trying to write.
Sometimes, if I have a fancy candle that somehow fits the mood of the story I'm working on, I'll light it. It's a relaxation thing, I guess.
Music. I always make story specific playlists for multi-part series. They're either songs that keep me in the right mindset for what I'm writing, or they're songs that inspired the idea for the story. I will also make character playlists if there are songs that remind me of a certain character but might not fit the vibe of the story soundtrack.
Moodboards usually happen when I want to write but can't make the words do the thing so I just end up looking for visual inspiration. I used to pick color palettes for stories before starting, which I think I'm gonna go back to. It sort of gave me direction on which colors/tones I want to highlight throughout.
Last but definitely not least, if I'm returning to a wip, I'll re-read a few pages/ as far back as I need to in order to situate myself back in the setting and feeling of where I left off. This is the only step that is 110% crucial for me, the rest of them are just extras.
Thank you again for this!!

The way I see christianity is you should always operate like Jesus is one of your buddy. Like he would forgive you if you fucked up but you aren't friend for no reason, it's because you're cool and nice. So you should act nice and cool to people until it's automatic. You feel me ?

knight/lord ships are like. what if i would die for you. what if i wanted you to live for me. what if i wanted to touch you but could only be satisfied with being near you. what if i could touch you but only through the safety of our gloves. what if i couldn’t stop thinking about you right next to me. what if i bloodied my hands for you and never looked back at the wreckage. what then

happy friday the 13th here are some spooky text-based games for halloween:
contrition - As a priest, it’s your job to listen to your parishioners’ darkest secrets and absolve their guilt. But when a sinister stranger comes to the confessional one Halloween night, you realize it’s your soul on the line.
familiar - You are a familiar. Your mistress has some requests for you. Help her complete her ritual, or pay the price of failure.
jagged bone - A branching choose-your-own-adventure horror game about transformation and perspective.
the forest of candles (and the man with a lighter) - follows Maggie, a young woman with a fear of forest fires sparked by an old town folk tale. She's spent years trying to escape her hometown and the fear it inspires in her, only to be called back for the funeral of an old friend.
mary's hare - Mary's Hare is short interactive horror story about a woman and a rabbit, based on the story of Mary Toft.
only this - "And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor..."
what girls do in the dark - a slumber party text adventure.
god is in the radio - you are death, one of 22 members of the major arcana, a cult dedicated to some far-off god. the night is halloween, and you watch in scorn as the unknowing dance among devils and dress to indulge in sin. the high priestess receives a message from the all-mighty himself: the arcana must gather in an abandoned house and find his song on an old radio receiver.
anchorhead - Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. (illustrated version on itch.io)
my father's long, long legs - An interactive horror story about family, unease, and loss.
beneath floes - Qikiqtaaluk, 1962. The sun falls below the horizon and won't return for months. You wander the broken shoreline, wary of your mother's stories about the qalupalik. Fish woman, stealer of wayward children: she dwells beneath the ice.
