-Fear and Hunger 1/2: Horror turn based rpg that’s brutal to the point of basically being a rougelike. I tried 2 first but ended up getting into 1 because it ended up being easier to get into for me. Not for the faint of heart tho.

-Look Outside: another horror turn based RPG I’m just now getting into. More psychological horror than F&H’s body/occult themes and less visually disturbing due to its pixel art style. Also way more forgiving with more accessible save points.

-World of Horror: a junji ito inspired horror rougelike. A kind of point n click game with turn based combat. Pretty cool with good depth but not a ton of content

-Rimworld: space colony sim with a stupid amount of content at this point. The most recent expansion added an FTL-like space travel system.

-Binding of Isaac: The OG but you didn’t mention it so I’ll put it on here. It’s the OG for a reason.

-Skull: great side scrolling action rougelite. Me and my partner dumped a stupid amount of hours into this game passing the controller back and forth between runs.

-Project Zomboid: Another certified indie classic zombie survival sim. Also reaches near-rougelike/lite status due to the brutality but the learning curve is incredibly satisfying. A great game to play with friends but also plenty of fun alone.

I didn’t mean to most almost entirely horror games but I think anything else I would suggest has already been mentioned lol
