Epic Tim Burton Style Videogames

1. Spooktacular Psychological Horror

If you’ve been looking for a Tim Burton style videogame, you can’t go wrong with FranBow by Killmonday games. FranBow is the next game on my list once I finish up Lost In Random, and after the joy of Little Misfortune I can’t wait to see what this one will bring,

After witnessing the gruesome and mysterious loss of her parents, found dismembered at their home, Fran rushes into the woods, together with her only friend, Mr. Midnight, a black cat that Fran had previously received as a present from her parents.

In the forest, Fran goes into shock over the loss of her parents and when she recovers, she’s at Oswald Asylum, an oppressive mental institution for children, and Mr. Midnight is nowhere to be found.

After having a dream about her beloved cat, Fran decides to escape from the mental institution to find him and go back home to Aunt Grace, her only living relative.

2. Best Tim Burton Style Indie Adventure 

This indie adventure game may be six years old, but it’s still a must-play for any Tim Burton fan. The art style of this game is beautiful and chock full of Burtonesque characters. If you’ve played Little Misfortune and loved it, you need to add Pinstripe to your list.

Play as Teddy, an estranged ex-minister forced to venture through the frozen afterlife in search of Bo, his three-year-old daughter, and her perverse kidnapper. Discover the dark secrets of Teddy’s past, and confront his sleazy, demonic nemesis, Mr. Pinstripe. Take part in an emotional adventure through the afterlife that blends humor with horror for a memorable experience.

3. Epic Tim Burton Style Dark Fantasy 

Death has a 9-5 and he’s over it. Ha Ha! The story and art of Deaths Door is epic and something every Tim Burton fan will adore. Besides who doesn’t want to be a crow?

Reaping souls of the dead and punching a clock might get monotonous but it’s honest work for a Crow. The job gets lively when your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a realm untouched by death – where creatures grow far past their expiry.

4. Cute Hand Drawn Tim Burton Style Game 

So I haven’t gotten to play this one yet, it’s on my list. But if I had to describe Hollow Knight from the gameplay I’ve seen, I’d say. It’s Tim Burton, meets Alice In Wonderland-Salvic addition. Overall everyone seems to love this adventure game, and I can’t wait to get to it.

Forge your path in Hollow Knight! An epic action adventure through a vast ruined kingdom of insects and heroes. Explore twisting caverns, and battle-tainted creatures, and befriend bizarre bugs, all in a classic, hand-drawn 2D style.

5. Challenging Tim Burton Style Videogame 

Who wants to be a plague doctor? Thymesia is like Sweeny Todd meets Bloodborne. When I came across the gameplay, I was instantly intrigued. This is more Tim Burton battle RPG than most of the others on this list, but hey, we have to work our frustration out on something right.

Thymesia is a grueling action RPG with fast-paced combat and an intricate plague weapon system. In a kingdom where death spreads, play as a mysterious character known by the code name “Corvus”. Prey upon your enemies, wield the power of disease and find the truth in your memories.

6. Creepy & Cute Tim Burton Story Game 

I’ve never played Stardew Valley, but I’d lay money down that Cult Of The Lamb is the demonic version, and I’m here for it. This story has Tim Burton all over it and I love it. Farming, cult recruitment, battle, and building, yes, please.

 

In Cult of the Lamb, you’ll take on the role of a possessed lamb, saved from slaughter by a mysterious stranger. Unfortunately, nothing comes for free, so you must repay your life debt by building a cult centered around your ominous rescuer. To find new worshipers, you’ll explore a randomly generated world and convert its inhabitants to your cause.

7. Gothic Tim Burton Style Combat Game

I am just finishing this lost gem up on Xbox One, and I have to admit. It’s one of the best games I’ve played this year. Lost In Random hits Tim Burton’s art style out of the park. I will say give yourself time to understand and adapt to the battle system before giving up, as it is a little, well, random.

 

Lost in Random, invites you to a gothic, magical world of a tabletop fairytale. This action-adventure game takes place across the kingdom of Random, where every citizen’s future is determined by the roll of a die. Now it’s your turn to discover to which of the six shadowy realms you belong.

8. Gothic Dream Burton Style Game 

Hands down this is one of the best, if not the best Tim Burton style videogame I’ve played all year. This is an older game, 2011, but it does not disappoint you, and the art throughout is amazing. I will say the timed jump challenges in this game had me pulling my hair out more than once, but in the end, it was an awesome Burtonesque-style game.

Alice: Madness Returns is a third-person, single-player, action-adventure platformer. Visit the grim reality of Victorian London and travel to the beautiful yet ghastly Wonderland to uncover the root of Alice’s madness.

10. Creeptastic 2D Burton Style Game 

Corpse Bride meets a sassy substitute grim reaper. The art style is so Burtonesque it makes my heart hurt and the story is amazing. Throw in it’s a point and click mixed with sickle action on Switch, my heart is full to bursting.

 

Possess the living, aid the dead, and flip between the worlds of Flipping Death – a puzzling adventure platformer where you find yourself filling in for Death. Maybe your new powers will help you solve the mystery of your demise.

11. Lovely Burton Style Game 

If you love plants and puzzles, you have to give Strange Horticulture a go. You get to be a bit of an herbalist, alchemist, and sleuth while enjoying a relaxing backdrop of your greenhouse and petting your sassy cat. This is hands down a Tim Burton-style game that will give you hours of relaxing entertainment.

While the art style in Edith Finch isn’t Tim Burton so much, the storyline is 100% something I could see coming out of that wonderful brain of his. Full of whimsy and mystery, What Remains of Edith Finch is an amazing story-rich puzzle game that delivers.

16. Lovely Story-Rich Sailing Horror Game 

If you asked Tim Burton to make a cannery fisherman story, I suspect Dredge would be pretty similar. The art style isn’t a full Burtonesque style, but it might squeak by if we squint. Either way, this Lovecraft/Burtonesque video game is relaxing, while still being challenging and giving ample hours of gameplay.

 

DREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. Sell your catch, upgrade your boat, and dredge the depths for long-buried secrets. Explore a mysterious archipelago and discover why some things are best left forgotten.
