Let’s face it, gaming is a key part of many get-togethers these days. While it isn’t necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, we’ve all been at parties where a console machine is being explored in the corner of a room. For gaming-mad couples, when it comes to planning their wedding, adding a gaming setup for the big reception is an option.
For proud emo couples out there, there are some fantastic games to consider adding to the big day. Sure, more solitary gaming experiences probably aren’t suitable for such a huge social occasion, be it online casino games like Craps or puzzle titles like Candy Crush, but there are some solid alternatives that might pique your interest given their strong emo vibe. In fact, the emo community has some clear favourites to choose from. Below, we highlight just some of them.

With dark themes on offer throughout and populations of nasties to see off, Persona 3’s package will pair perfectly with your emo wedding theme. With players essentially being tasked with saving humanity against devastating attacks from Shadows, Persona 3 will add another sprinkling of emo magic to your wedding.
Alice: Madness Returns
While it’s probably worth turning Alice: Madness Returns off for your first dance, this psychological horror-action game is perfect to play when things are winding down for the evening. Taking place in Victorian London, the game features 19-year-old Alice Liddell, a young female with evident mental health issues who escapes a mental asylum.

The title’s 19-year-old character expresses himself through art and music, making this relatable release a must-play game for passionate emos.
Guitar Hero
If you’d rather bring some fun to your wedding instead of leaving people feeling scared, then Guitar Hero is an option that delivers in all areas.
