While by no means the first game in this subgenre (Alone in the Dark, Ecstatica and Dr. Hauzer did the 3D horror schtick years prior), the classic Resident Evil was streamlined enough to actually be enjoyable. I don't think it's a particularly amazing game (and I say this as a pretty big fan of the RE games), but it's just goofy and dumb enough to get a kick out of me.

Eno's opus. Messy, confusing, aggravating, powerful, moving and filled to the brim with both heart and hope, even when things are seemingly at their bleakest.

While not my personal favorite of Eno's works, I would say that it's without a doubt his most consistently solid game. It's occasionally slow at points, but no game since has made me feel this apprehensive, even on repeat playthroughs. No amount of replays dulls this game's terrifying edge, and considering this came out in 1996, it's a real shame that basically 0 survival horror games since have even come close to being this legitimately anxiety inducing.

D is the first entry in Kenji Eno's "Laura Trilogy" and probably the most standard of the trio. It's aged in the same way most FMV adventure games of the 1990s have, and I'd argue that the behind-the-scenes shenanigans and people behind it are more interesting than the game itself, but the atmosphere and vibes are solid enough to warrant the 2 hours of playtime.

Never has a game been so excited to just be itself...
