If ever a game was meant for the "You didn't realize this game was a horror game" twist, it is Blue Prince (piefed.social)

This game creeps me the fuck out. I swear to God every time I take out the magnifying glass and start examining a picture I expect Pennywise to pop out of the screen when I pan to a new place.

I thought it was more of puzzle-adventure. I am not into puzzle games, but I've heard lots of good things about Blue Prince (including the creepy atmosphere).

    It is. It has nothing of horror (I mean, as far as I know), it's just a beast of a puzzle game, but the atmosphere is for some reason just very very unsettling.

    There's also a darkroom in it with photos of people with blurred faces. GET ME THE FUCK OUT, I NEED AN ADULT PLEASE HELP

    The game that rewards solving puzzles with more puzzles.
    Such a cool game

    Yeah, I'm loving it so far. I have been disappointed by a couple of games which attempted this genre (your "7th Guest"s and your "Myst"s) but just didn't have the gumption to give more challenge than just wandering around and going through some sort of trivial semi-puzzle. Blue Prince seems like it strikes a really good balance between dropping hints so you're not totally lost, and giving a sense of progression so people don't get discouraged, but also not being afraid to give a meaty challenge.
