Lord Huron’s Vide Noir is a significant departure from the rest of their work so far, and I really wish they’d do more in that style


This is incredibly niche but in the Blue Planet mod for Freespace 2 you’re on the losing side of a war for the whole campaign - your elite unit pulls off a bunch of small-scale clutch victories but overall things are not looking good. Near the end of the campaign there’s an elaborate series of missions involving disabling a bunch of hostile ships, intercepting and manipulating distress comms, and otherwise setting up a trap for the opposite faction’s command ship, the Carthage (culminating in a mission called, appropriately, “Delenda Est”). All the setup missions go smoothly, as does the first springing of the trap, but then
a counter-trap is sprung as soon as your forces are fully committed - another fleet’s flagship and elite escorts who are supposed to be somewhere else warp in at murder range and start absolutely obliterating your people. The absolute dread as you realize almost nobody is getting out alive sticks with me.
Edit: found a video for the voice-acted version
you gotta sear the pineapple first, then you get the nice flavorful stuff and it’s not all wet
