Scratch my old school horror Itch, Era

[carlsojo]

Inspired by this weird little horror movie that popped up on Amazon for me:

Not a great movie but got me jonesing to play an old school horror point and click: like seventh guest, the eleventh hour, shivers, phantasmagoria, etc.

Recommend me some titles please!

You might like At Dead of Night. It's the newest game I can think of that definitely inspired by older horror titles like the ones you mentioned.

It's obviously 'modern' but so so good. Has an old school vibe to it IMO.

There's this 2006 game called Scratches that may be what you want. Civvie 11 made a video about it:




There's also The Cat Lady (2012). Here's a SBFP playthrough of the game:

I haven't played this one, but recently learned it exists: The 13th Doll started as a 7th Guest fan project but ultimately was given license to sell the game, and is kind of neat if for no other reason than they got the guy who plays Stauf to reprise his role a quarter century later. Reviews seem pretty middle-of-the-road which... feels kind of true to form for how the original game would likely be received today.

Fatum Betula is neat although it's more PS1-style than DOS PC.

Still one of my favorite games from the DS era. Many times I audibly yelped in a crowded train on the way home from work.

Well if you ever liked the amnesia series I would recommend penumbra overture and penumbra black plague.

Though you might need a guide for the morse code puzzle.

In the point and click department i could also recommend the Dark Fall series.
