Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for video games that capture the same vibe as the movies “The Descent” and “Eden Lake.” I’m thinking along the lines of survival games set in enclosed spaces, with a heavy atmosphere of dread and possibly some twist endings. So far, the only game I’ve actually played that feels close to “The Descent” is The Forest. Any recommendations?

If you haven’t yet, consider checking out the Supermassive Games titles like The Dark Pictures Anthology or The Quarry. Also, Soma and the Amnesia series might fit the bill!
You should check out Scanner Sombre! It gives off some eerie spelunking vibes where you’re mostly in the dark, relying on lidar to navigate. It definitely captures that feeling of dread you’re looking for.
This looks awesome! Thanks :))
Thanks! I’ve already played House of Ashes and Devil in Me. I really want to dive into Amnesia, and I hear The Bunker is especially good for that Descent feel!
