So, going through It™ again and my mood’s really gloomy. Anyone got any good recommendations to go with my mood?

To specify, PC-only, and I’m mostly asking for atmosphere, though some mechanical goodness will not go unappreciated. Thinking of stuff like Observer, Silent Hill, Darkwood, Arx Fatalis, Fallout: NV, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc. Played most of these except Bloodborne, gathering the patience to deal with emulation.

Edit: oh, and if the story’ll shred my soul to pieces, all the better! Hit me with your best shot!

      It is. Its also maybe not the best game to play when you’re struggling. I played it when I lost a close family member and I became a wreck for weeks

      It helped me process the loss, but it drew all of my emotions out in the process

      Oh boy, this is a game that absolutely ripped my heart out. I’ve never been great at saying goodbye, I did everything I could before the first goodbye and then I quit. I loved the game, but it hits me in a strange soft spot.

      Brothers is kinda similar to provide a recommendation.
