This is a total stretch but I thought I’d try it.
I’m trying to remember the name of game I played in maybe the mid/early 90s. I don’t remember the system but we only had the NES/SNES & Genesis so it must have been one of those.
The setting was a like a haunted wild western town. The only scene I can remember is, your character can go into a barn and choose to sleep in a pile of hay. If you decided to do so, however, there was a cut scene implying you were killed in your sleep by something supernatural.
I’ve done some Googling to no avail. I don’t believe the game is ‘Silverload’ because none of the screenshots look familiar.
Does this ring a bell to anyone ?
Does not really make me think of anything. Try googling “every NES game ever”
Also SNES, and Genesis. It should come up with a Wiki list of every game ever made for each system. Along with the year released.
“Cut-scene” makes me think it wasn’t a 16-bit game. Though you could just be referring to any old bit where you don’t control your character, and “retro glasses” could be adding things that weren’t there.
Is there any more information you can give? As in, what style of game - top-down, 3/4 top-down, isometric, etc. Point-and-click or more direct interface? Maybe even a button you remember having to push to do something?
*ed: Possibly a little out there, but maybe Alone in the Dark 3? It was never on console, but it’s a PC/Mac survival horror based in a ghost town in the Mojave. Sleeping in the hay leading to a cut-scene of you dying to a monster is fitting for that series.

I thought about it a little and it could have been 8 bit graphics. I remember sort of being on rails as in, you arrive at a location and you can do ‘A, B, or C’ kind of thing.
My Google-fu is pretty good and I’m not finding anything close to what I’m describing. I’m leaning towards me forgetting or misremembering some detail. In any case, I appreciate the feedback and if I remember it by some miracle, I’ll post the results.
