original thief series basso & garrett :)
ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels
there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.
anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

The Retro Horror Games Iceberg Chart, Ver. 2.0
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.
