womanhood is horror.

horror games with feminine themes. (or horror adjacent)

ones with comments are my choices, non commented ones were suggested/searched for!
trigger warnings for sensitive topics. ♥ spoilers ahead as well.

my favorite feminine horror game. fem protagonist & fem villain. themes of birth, society's views towards women, stalking, intimidation, forced impregnation/birth, body autonomy, abortion, etc.
themes of sexuality, ownership of your own body, forced pregnancy & body autonomy, consent, birth, stalking, etc.
gender norms, bullying, WLW
motherhood, missing mother & spiritual feminine figures.
don't want to spoil this one!
birth & babies, motherhood
male gaze, identity loss, objectification
has themes of body image & eating disorders, pregnancy, dating, & unwanted child.
women in the family have powers as teenagers, strong female lead
pregnancy, childbirth & miscarriage
matriarchal dominance, spiritual role as women.

alessa birthing god ties into 3's, but also we get to see lisa's troubles as the main nurse.
though this game is a male protagonist, the story with angela, mary, & maria really stand out.

mainly the game is more about james & his masculinity but shows his perspective on women as well.
avoiding spoilers, a main character is shown dealing with psychological themes of womenhood & family.
forced pregnancy & loss of children
amazing ending that i don't want to spoil!
fem lead, but also a very deep story with other women! as well as a long run tradition of what they do with maidens.
loss of innocence, coming of age, main character stepping up to be a protector & mother figure for her brother
stalker horror of a dude bothering you at work. v relatable for fellow ladies :|
a shy girl learning to become brave when her best "friend" goes missing.
