Which horror game do you consider to be so sad?

[Knight Barida]

There are a couple of horror games that one would expect to make the list. Silent Hill 2 had an ending that was touching and made one to be pretty sad. However, I think Omori is one horror game that is filled with sadness. Which one is top for you?

I agree with you about Omori. The blend of mental health themes and the personal loss that ties into the narrative is really emotional. I also think Amnesia: The Dark Descent hits some really sad notes too, especially with the protagonist's backstory and the emotional toll of his journey. It's not just about the scares but the regret and the weight of past actions.

Does A Plague Tale: Requiem count? Absolutely crushing.

It's not really horror - more like action-adventure stealth but it did have a very sad ending though.

“Sad” doesn’t capture my feelings about it. More like … crushed, horrified, broken inside, lol.

I know how you feel. Spec Ops ending did the same to me.

Silent Hill 2's tragic story, particularly James' emotional journey, resonates deeply with me, leaving a lasting sense of sorrow and regret.
