I am playing Thief for the first time and it is magnificent so far! It is not really a horror game, but the zombies, apparitions and eerie soundscape actually sends shivers through my body! Any other games like this that have a really creepy fear-inducing atmosphere? I liked Amnesia and Penumbra, but like other horror games, the fear is mostly based on upcoming jumpscares. Thief has an excellent atmosphere that doesn't rely on such jumpscares.

Have you already checked out Shadow Man and Clive Barker's Undying?

Thief 2, but this time the robots are spooky.
>>
>>378228869
Yup, I'll definitely play T2 next. That robot does look very spooky. Is Thief 3 worth checking out in your opinion?

>that small sound effect (sounds like an organ being played) that plays when you go through a door onto a next part of the level

If you don't mind all that many jumpscares, Cry of Fear is also worth checking out if horror in dilapidated urban surroundings is your sort of thing. The game that came out before it, Afraid of Monsters, has far more jumpscares if I remember correctly

The House Abandon is a nice short atmospheric text game, but they later released it as part of a full game called Stories Untold. I think House Abandon is now only available as a demo for Stories Untold. I feel that the rest of the game didn't really live up to the spook expectations THA set up.

Have you gotten to the Cathedral yet?

I got as far as unlocking the Cathedral and went inside

Then I noped out and uninstalled the game because the building started making noises

I liked T1 more than T2

The original Dead Space (BUT ONLY THE ORIGINAL) is a decent atmosphere ACTION game thats basically a blatant RE4 clone in some ways. It's definitely more action than horror, but has great atmosphere.

The robots are rather spooky

Thief 3 is still very good, especially comparing to modern games. I liked it a lot.

It also has the spookiest level of them all.
>>
>>378229639
Contrary to popular opinion most people do
Especially people who played both long after release
>>
>>378229047

Not him but as an absolute assfag for the Thief series I'd say Thief 3 is very much worth your time.

Most people hate on it, but I really liked Doom 3 for its sound design and the atmosphere it creates. Especially in the early part of the game.

The lighting coupled with the superb auido make for a really creepy experience, especially when you play it with good headphones.

Also recommending Scratches. It's a point and click game about an author who buys an old mansion with a dark past. He decides to look into the house's history when he starts hearing scratching coming from inside the walls at night

I figured I could this question, since there are some taffers here. I heard about a mod for thief 2 that creates a hub system. Does anyone know a name?

Thief had some legendary sound design that still holds up today, wish that such precise attention were more widespread nowadays

That's because back when Thief was released it was developed for PC, which had dedicated soundcards that were able of creating great sound.

Nowadays games are created for consoles and people play them on TVs with shitty speakers, so developers don't bother with creating good audio.

>>378227715
Thief deadly shadows was fun back in the day.

It's kinda like being in the theives guild in TES but with less free roam exploration. Not that it's a bad thing. Open World games are kinda overrated imho.
