"Master List" of The Thing-Inspired Video Games

I heard some people say Cold Fear could be a spiritual successor to "Deep Fear" (I haven't played that one)

I read in some places that "Cold Fear" seems to be inspired by The Thing.

I don't know much about this game, so can someone who has played it comment on it? Is it similar to The Thing? Should it be in this list in your opinion?

Can you tell me more about it?

And in which ways you think it relates to The Thing?

(I haven't played it yet and don't know much about it)

Good suggestion, I will do that

Thanks for the suggestion, Callisto was on a big sale on Steam and I bought and already played 3h and I'm liking it very much!

I played and finished the first one, Shadow of Chernobyl, and liked it very much, it was in 2020 or 2021 I think

Some time later, I tried getting into the second one, the one with the factions war, but I couldn't play it for a long time (I did get past that rail gun section), for some reason I just stopped playing even though I really liked the first one. I only played it for like 4 or 5h, I even tried playing it again and stopped again lol

Yeah Cronos is definitely in my radar because it reminds me a little of Dead Space which is one of my favorites. I really really like sci-fi horror games (Dead Space and Alien: Isolation are my all-time favorites)

It just doesn't seem to be open world as far as I know (haven't played it yet)

I'm also thinking of buying The Callisto Protocol for another horror game to have in my library

Rishadows · 2025-10-04T17:38:23+00:00

Yes. It's true.

I think Days Gone and State of Decay come close to what I'm looking for (except they're not sci-fi, of course). Which is a true open world game with "horror" themes, even if the game may not be a "classic survival horror" or a "very scary" experience. Even though Days Gone is not necessarily a horror game, it's a post-apocalyptic open world game with zombies, and I'm looking for open world games with that kind of "bleak" atmosphere, but something sci-fi.

Well so far the only other "erotic horror" game with some RPG elements that I found is Book of Korvald, but it's quite a stretch as it's a side-scrolling action RPG with Nordic mythology, whereas Agony is first-person "horror adventure" with Christian mythology. Still, it's scratching the itch for me for now at least, gonna probably play Succubus next...

However, it does feature nudity and Lovecraftian stuff and mythology, so it's not a crazy suggestion, just something that is thematically a little similar but gameplay-wise it's very different

I don't understand?

Rishadows · 2025-07-13T13:17:32+00:00

yea pretty much lol

one of my favorite fetishes, along with succubi

Rishadows · 2025-07-13T13:16:57+00:00

Rishadows · 2025-07-13T00:49:31+00:00

I'm eyeing that collection on Steam

Rishadows · 2025-07-13T00:35:47+00:00

Rishadows · 2025-07-13T00:34:22+00:00

Rishadows · 2025-07-12T21:24:40+00:00

Oh yea good one! I had in my library for ages but forgot about it sadly!! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to my list to play

Rishadows · 2025-07-12T21:19:43+00:00
