Please read my notes below for more context. I always take asks about retro horror games, as well. I have at least some experience with most of these.
This chart can be used in personal projects or YouTube videos, but please ask me first and do not remove my credits. Thank you.
This is a massive, updated version of an iceberg chart I made.
It's intended as a guide for a mostly Western audience (and preservationists) to discover more of these games, not as a 100% accurate ranking.
So don't worry about my placements too much, just check out the games that sound interesting to you.
NOTES:
-Games on lower tiers like Aoi Shiro or Mizzurna Falls have notable fanbases, but were placed there because, since they did not get official ports outside of their home country, they will not be as well-known or can be harder to find physical copies of.
-PC and console games only. Focus is on the 90s and 2000s because that's more my area of expertise.
-I've included a couple of non-horror games like Chulip, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Majora's Mask due to their horror aesthetics or close ties to the genre. As a collector, I always feel it's better to include more rather than less, and these games seem at home here.
