Stygian: Outer Gods is a game I have zero familiarity with. But having come across the trailer for its Souls of the Silent Tide update, I think that I may have to take a real dive into this game and see what the Stygian world is about.
The first-person survival horror game is a lot more than just pointing and shooting. Elements of choice and psychological horror are prevalent, making the game significantly deeper than it appears.
