medium
Survival horror games
Resident Evil 2 · Silent Hill 2 · The Evil Within · Signalis
hard
Almost entirely set in a single house
Gone Home · Maniac Mansion · Luigi's Mansion · The 7th Guest
Each game keeps you inside one building for nearly the whole runtime. The house is the map, the puzzle, and the antagonist all at once, which is why these stick in your head as locations as much as games.
tricky
The credits roll, then the real game begins
Cave Story · Bravely Default · Pokemon Silver · Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Each of these games stages a fake ending. The credits scroll, the music swells, and then the game keeps going into a second half that recontextualizes everything you just played.
