Haunting Ground is a unique horror game that was not only a spiritual successor of the Clock Tower franchise, but a horror game like no other with its heavy psycho sexual horror themes and the relationship the player has with not only the main character Fiona, but the game itself.
Sadly this game is practically inaccessible for anyone in the west with copies of the game going into the 100s (usd). Its a horror masterpiece and deserves to be preserved.
I'll never forget Daniella and how scary she was with her calm demeanor, while wanting to stab me to death. Was pretty hot tbh.
Fiona is only partially referenced now adays in other capcom games, but I wanna see her game return so a new generation can experience this underrated classic!
Trying to solve the puzzles while the enemies are chasing, really put a pressure on me I really haven’t felt before. Also me screaming at the screen while that big guy tried to kill me……..yeah that was a moment.
This has been a game I've tried to find for several years now, but that is extremely difficult. Only released on the PS2, I have just not found copies of this game that are not super expensive. As of January 29, 2025 this title is worth $299 loose and $387.48 complete in box per price charting. I want to play this game legitimately and hope that GOG can deliver a PC port that would make this widely accessible to all gamers.
This game is a beautiful, creepy masterclass on making someone uncomfortable. Some of the best puzzles, a wonderful soundtrack, the best stalkers you could ask for and a dog to boot.
Haunting Ground shows you the horrors of simply being a girl, which I'm sure many of us can relate to, and it's unmatched <3
I have loved the visual style of this game and have been waiting a good chunk of my life to get to play it. I've not seen a rerelease of this fantastic title in some time and would really appreciate it. Fans of the survival horror genre would also be pleased many iconic horror titles of the era have gone too long without a place to sit down and play and we need more like this.
One of my most favorite horror games it deserves a chance to be abled to be played on GOG considering how rare and expensive it is plus more people should experience the good boy that is Hewie
By far one of the best stalker horror games ever made. Artistically and musically stunning, it engages you in an unrelenting atmosphere of paranoia and dread. The story touches upon sensitive subject matters that I feel you genuinely don't see in most other games, even to this day (and manages to handle it with the appropriate amount of gravitas and depth it deserves). I've only ever been able to play this gem on an emulator, but it's easily become one of my favorite games ever, so I'd love to be able to properly support and own it. This game deserves to be preserved, as it's a genuinely stellar and unique piece of art.
One of the best games Capcom ever made and it deserves another chance!
Everyone should have a chance to experience this game without spending a lot of money, and this would be a perfect opportunity!
This is one of the first games I bought myself back in the day, I was about 15/16. It was £10 in a second hand bin in GAME (in Scotland). I bought it because it had a dog on the cover XD! Me and my best friend at the time played it when we got back to mine. It was amazing! Daniella's chase music still freaks me out to this day!!! LOVE THIS GAME!!! HEWIE FOR THE WIN!!! XD!!!
MediEvil: ResurrectionMediEvil: Resurrection is a 2005 action-adventure game for the PlayStation Portable and is the third installment in the MediEvil video-game series. It is a reimagining of the first installment in the series, MediEvil, with many alterations to the original structure and content, such as the addition of the "Anubis Stone" sub-plot which never appeared in the original. Many things such as level design and characters were changed drastically, and some levels from the original were removed altogether. New levels and characters were introduced, the cutscenes are completely original, and the game was given a much more comical, cartoon-like style as opposed to the Gothic horror-comedy of the original. The soundtrack is completely orchestrated, and half of the themes from the original were removed while new themes were created to fit with the new levels. Unlike the original, there is no alternate ending; Dan still goes to the Hall of Heroes regardless of whether he collects all of the chalices. The game also features a variety of voice talent, including Tom Baker as the narrator and the Grim Reaper.Action Comedy Horror
MediEvil 2MediEvil 2 or MediEvil II in its NA release, sequel to the popular MediEvil takes place after the noble but bony Sir Dan Fortesque defeats the evil wizard Zarok. After a new villain by the name of Lord Palethorn arises, poor Dan is awakened along with everything dead and forgotten. The game allows you to explore past levels as well as collecting the Chalice which gives a new weapon once 100% of the souls have been returned in the level. The game has many comedic moments, such as when Sir Dan tries conversing with a bunch of midgets in the city sewers who think he is an almighty God.Action Comedy Horror

Ratchet & ClankRatchet & Clank is a platform/adventure game in a similar vein to the 3D versions of the Rayman, Sonic, Mario, or other games. It involves the two protagonists Ratchet, a furry alien creature, and Clank, a nerdy little robot, going on a quest to find Captain Qwark and ultimately to help save the galaxy.
Ratchet & Clank includes many of the best features of previous similar games, but makes itself unique in a number of ways. Firstly each of the game's levels are huge sweeping vistas with extremely detailed buildings which are visible at all times (i.e. there is no distance fog). This means that a building on the horizon is not just a "backdrop"; in all likelihood Ratchet will be exploring it in a few moments time. Secondly, the game includes a number of sub-games, such as a space fight sequence and a number of turret shoot-outs which are akin to Missile Command in the first person.
The game has over twenty levels (planets) and includes as many real-time cut-scenes which tell the story. Also of note is that the story is non-linear, requiring the player to return to previous levels to complete objectives and to choose between multiple paths forward. There is also a respectable array of weapons, gadgets, and accessories to find or buy as the game progresses, which offer some unique gameplay features.Action Comedy Science fiction

Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Horror Survival
