I feel like there's gotta be more awesome games with what I love that I just haven't heard of because they're not soulslikes.

Specifically drawn to games that are:

Grim, dark, or melancholic, bleak and somber

Grotesque or unsettling (body horror welcome)

Decaying worlds, ruined civilizations, oppressive vibes

Minimal hand-holding / strong visual identity

Genre doesn’t really matter — action, RPG, horror, indie, AA, even walking sims are fine. I’m more interested in art direction, tone, and mood than difficulty or combat systems.

Would love to hear any recommendations that lean into that bleak, somber, “world is dying” kind of atmosphere.

Thanks
