"Halloween's around the corner. Got plans? No? I'm not much of a costume party person myself, so I'll be staying in to play a bunch of spooky games, and one that has recently caught my attention features a lovely injection of PSX-style retro grunge that I struggle to not just stare into for hours as I contemplate the grim realities of existence. Sound up your alley? Good."
"Labyrinth of the Demon King arrived earlier this year on console and PC. At first glance, I just knew it had to be added to my Steam library. It features that kind of grim, low fidelity dread that the original PlayStation was so good at delivering in games like Silent Hill. It's dark and moody as hell, making it perfect for late night gaming sessions during the autumn months as the world grows dark and cold."
Labyrinth of the Demon King is a first-person dungeon crawler that delivers PSX-style low-fidelity horror and atmospheric dread reminiscent of Silent Hill. The game combines moody, dark visuals with Souls-like stamina mechanics that emphasize timed attacks and dodges, and resilient enemies that require careful play. It defaults to a 4:3 perspective but supports 16:9 and 16:10, making it suitable for varied screens including the Steam Deck. A demo is available for players to try before purchase. The game suits late-night, autumnal play sessions and aims to draw players into prolonged, ominous exploration.
