Indie HORROR GAMES That Defined 2023

Описание: 2023 has been a fantastic year for fans of videogame horror. It kicked off with the Dead Space Remake, which successfully recaptured the original's sci-fi horror vibe while enhancing the game's design and immersion into Isaac Clarke's character.

Next, Leon Scott Kennedy got an absolute glow-up in the long awaited Resident Evil 4 Remake, which won me over despite my complicated past experiences with the original version of that game.

These two remakes have led many to dub 2023 the year of big-budget horror revival(oh and did I mention that ALAN WAKE 2 released later that year as well?!).

However, the horror games that impacted me the most last year are from decidedly very INDIE outlets, so Capcom or Remedy does not apply in here. What were these games you ask? Well… just watch the video and you’ll find out!

Here are the Three Flavours of Video Game Horror in 2023!

*This video contains light to moderate spoilers from games discussed – you have been warned!
*This video has been recorded and encoded in 4K60P.
*Because of having to finish this video in a really short timeframe - there are several visual and audial anomalies that I haven’t had the chance to get rid of! Sorry in advance!
*Because of an unexpected copyright claim issue I had to re-edit a large chunk of the final part of the video - which explains some of the less fitting music choices in the outro section.
*PS: Yet again my VO sounds completely different on YouTube to what I’ve been hearing coming straight from my editing software of choice. Please do let me know if you have any idea what might’ve happened?

Hey! This video has been in production for over a year now and it shows in many, many places! I’d love to give you a more detailed rundown of what happened since June 2023 – and how it affected this project, but that’s a story for a different time, maybe also a completely different format too? We shall see!

As to my plans for what happens next both video-wise and channel-wise, I do very strongly believe that I’ll be able to increase my output of content by the end of the year. I already have several videos planned out and hundreds of gigabytes of gameplay just sitting and gathering dust on my hard drives.
Coming all the way back to earth though, I truly hope you’ll enjoy this vid everyone!
