Serious and Immersive Custom Stories Thread

What are some custom stories that you guys have played that, at some point playing through them, you didn't say to yourself "this is silly", or "this is stupid." I'd say that any custom story that has a jumpscare(s) would go into this category. Now, those custom stories with jumpscares might be very scary or startling, but this is a thread for the most serious and immersive custom mods.

There's a thread for "cliches" (http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-22395.html) that can be seen in abundance among the CS modding community, which goes on to list all the repetitive gameplay mechanics and scare tactics that are tirelessly used so often (in a relevant note unrelated to the aforementioned thread, they typically don't have very convincing plots either, or even if they did, the jumpscares and non-sequitor scare events would remove the seriousness of it).




Anyway, one that I can name off the top of my head:

My Love

It featured almost zero jumpscares so it goes somewhere on the top of the most serious and most immersive, in my opinion, from what I've custom stories I've played so far (also some pretty plentiful voice acting which also increases those two fields).

If anyone else can name any, that would be awesome. Smile

Basically:

No jumpscares, but if there are any, they are used sparingly

No "scary events" or scare tactics that have been used a million times before

No ridiculous plots

And no plots that have been copied and pasted.


Sorry if this is a replica of any threads that have been made before; I searched around and couldn't find anything similar.

EDIT: List of Custom Stories that fit these categories at least to some degree. in my opinion

Followed by Death

My Love
