I really love this game, it reminds me a lot of In the Mouth of Madness movie actually. I kind of wish the other three characters you can play as were there from the start though instead of needing to be unlocked, as the last two are pretty interesting to use.

A good fellow has made a detailed recreation of the P.T. hallway for PC. I believe its only the first run but its get the atmosphere right.

This might be a weird thing to ask, but are there any good horror game lpers? Like, people who play or show off horror games without going into (fake) screaming fits when doing so. Getting scared is fine and all, and even having a facecam isn't the end of the world (for me anyway), but it seems like most videos showing off horror games go the markiplier route, which I don't like that much.

In lieu of doing the repeating hallways thing he has stuff change as you go back and forth through the same hallway, a pretty good compromise for someone who just did this over the course of four weekends!

I recommend Mangaminx, although she can get a bit screechy. And of course there is always The Archive

So at one point Rare was working on a horror game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cr3SCx6Dk You explored by day to collect resources and fortify a location at night that got attacked by waves of monsters. Rare Replay has some neat documentaries on other scraped projects since Microsoft purchased Rare. It only makes me more upset that Microsoft has used the company to pump out lovely Kinect games for 10 years.

The shambling corpse of Rare is the scariest thing to come out of the game industry in years so props to Microsoft I guess.

You know, I've never actively wished for a company to go bankrupt, but after that Silent Hill video, and reading what their corporate practices are like, I think I'll make an exception for Konami.

Wanton Spoon posted:The Consuming Shadow has been released (see the trailer here). It's a 2D, procedurally generated... adventure-y thing with some action elements. In this game, the horror is relegated more to aesthetics than anything--I have not once encountered a jumpscare, and any tension I experienced came from managing resources poorly rather than being forced into a tight situation by the plot. Still, I think it's immersive in its own way. Soup du Journey fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Aug 5, 2015 |

It is weird to me to remember that Yahtzee actually makes games, and even decent horror games at that. For some reason I have an image of him being a hack at it, but all the games have been decently good IIRC

5 Days a Stranger was solid all the way around. Pulpy haunted house story, great atmosphere, sensible puzzles. 7 Days a Skeptic benefited from the space setting and made an interesting sequel, but had some frustrating bits like the drat towel rack and having to hide in not very intuitive places. The story also has a dumb twist at the end. Trilby's Notes is honestly one of the best text parser games I've played and does its cosmic horror quite well. The ending was a little too clever for my liking, but that's a personal preference thing. 6 Days a Sacrifice was a ball of bad decisions. Making it wrap up all the story threads at once, setting it in a weird sorta-future, and having your main character be gravely injured for the whole game (and thus either immobile or slow) all detracted from the horror and fun. Yahtzee is a pretty competent developer, really. His stealth platformer The Art of Theft was quite good in the pre-Gunpoint world.

Quovak did an LP of all the games a while back. Worth taking a read through if you don't want to download some free games yourself.

1stGear posted:His Chzo Mythos adventure games were of wildly varying quality but Trilby's Notes is quite excellent. Agreed. The final puzzle where you're tied up, wounded, the bad guys are about to win... and you solve it by voluntarily "dying" is one of my favorite puzzle solutions in any adventure game, ever.

I got stuck in 5 Days a Stranger at the point where you had to dig up the body in the basement, I just couldn't do it, I think it might have bugged out on me? I tried following what an LP did and nothing worked. Haven't played any of the others. I should probably try again, but I'd need to redownload and start over again, and I don't remember being too enthused about replaying the first chunk again.
