Vault hunters is a blast, it’s almost a completely different game set inside Minecraft. I got playing it when they updated the early game and only just put it down for a bit to play baulders gate.
I especially like making farms for a materials that the mod asks for, even if it’s not necessary yet. Just infinite amounts of nearly everything one could want.
I think bugsnax might fit, it takes until near the end of the game for the horror aspect to begin, and then it hits hard. Look up the ending so you can screen it for him and make sure it’s appropriate.
I would give My Friendly Neighborhood a try - it’s very much in the vein of Resident Evil 4 with just-different-enough Sesame Street puppets that give you a jumpscare and damage when they make contact. Put together by John and Evan Szymanski (brothers to and collaborators with David Szymanski, of several New Blood titles fame,) it’s made explicitly to be horrifying without relying on gore and excessive violence.
I don’t know FFT too well, so i did NOT read through your spoiler post. Just wanted to say that Remap is planning on doing a retrospective podcast sometime soon, so that might be a cool place to hear some deeper analysis and discussion on the game. They’re doing it under their Remap 101 series, which is a continuation of the Waypoint 101 series from before Vice dissolved Waypoint.
That said, only one of their crew seems genuinely hyped about the podcast (Cado, who has been streaming their playthrough for the upcoming pod), so it might not hit as hard as the Waypoint/Remap 101 podcasts usually do.
I think I remember a short scene where there is speculation Ramza and his sister did survive? I think the creator of the game also confirms they lived.
Also Zombies Ate my Neighbours would be also great for kids, Im not sure what services its available on (but the rom is easy to find for emulation, it is on Snes)
It’s not a pack with very many mods similar to IndustrialCraft or BuildCraft (which I adored) but I do enjoy how it gates the progression and my girlfriend and I are addicted to running the vaults in Vault Hunters (Third edition specifically) vaulthunters.gg
OK hear me out: Minecraft in survival. For real. Nothing jump scares like a creeper going “psshht” in your back, telegraphing that you’re about to die in a destructive explosion. As you walk a narrow path over a chasm of lava in the Nether, the wail of the Ghast might make you fall out of sheer panic before it even shoots at you. The Warden is a special kind of scary too, as it’s nearly unkillable and will detect you by the noise you make. It sounds kind of silly but there’s plenty of players making the remark that Minecraft survival is basically horror.
And it’s all in a child friendly, non gory, voxel style.
Yeah that shit scared me when I played it at 40 years old. It kind of wears you down when you walk around in dark caves for hours on end.
Another alternative might be Subnautica. It has some jump scares but mostly it’s just the Deep Unknown that gives you chills. Few things in that game are actually dangerous.
Aw man, preparing for the nether and writing down my coordinates, terrified of ghasts and facing blazes for as long as I could stand it. I still prepare for any excursion from my base like a packrat.
While we’re at it with non-horror games: the level that introduced the flood in Halo CE really gave me a scare. I don’t know what it says about me, but I invited a friend over to play that level with me, lol. It’s a bit of a reach not being a horror game, but a great game with some tension here and there.
Might still be a little too intense if Luigi’s Mansion is your starting point, but Bendy and the Ink Machine is basically a mix of Bioshock and Amnesia but for kids. It has a great 1930s cartoon aesthetic.
