Good call, the hd release isn't going to be priced that high either. It's 3 weeks until Halloween! still time for good horror games  SOMA(PS4, PC) is the newest title from Frictional Games. you explore an undersea base filled with monsters and robots. If you played and enjoyed Amnesia: The Dark Descent you should really really get SOMA. It approaches its story way clearer and way better than TDD does and it has differentiated and cool monster designs. Plus the non-violent npcs are neat and a few of the puzzles are engaging without being overly hard. the visuals are really cool too and it's obvious that Frictional spent a lot of time and effort to make this game the best it could be. I think it's great! This game is also way more streamlined than TDD, it doesn't have an inventory system and you don't have to keep your light source fueled (though I have noticed the light get a little dim if it's on too long, you can just flick it off and back on to fix that). There is something of a health system that is kind've of a detraction from the game for me but I could see how it's probably there as a concession to gamers that don't play a lot of horror titles like this. It's something you can kinda game to help you beat the game easier so I'll tag it getting hit by a monster causes your screen to go black, you wake up in the same spot with a fuzzier screen and a slightly reduced walk and run speed. You can 'fix' yourself by either completing some scripted events or by finding a health bulb. This is pretty easy to use to your advantage like if you need to use a chip on a door to proceed to an area but there's a monster in the hallway. You can just sprint to the door and if the monster hits you you're pretty much home free the second you regain control. If you played TDD or something else like Outlast you might find that you experience your first death several hours into the game or even not at all. Not to say the game is too easy because it isn't. you're given a lot more spaces to 'breathe' in. Something I think SOMA handles better than TDD does. In SOMA the majority of monster encounters are pretty unique to the area where in TDD you had the Butchers that were either scripted or could sometimes spawn, which kinda kills the tension if you know which is which. In SOMA the flow is clearer and these areas are obvious. Monster encounters are very clear cut and you don't have to worry about one spawning just because you read a book or something. Speaking of, SOMA hands out tons of optional lore stuff for you to read or listen to that's really great. You might guess story details correctly before they happen but the game still manages to be pretty engaging. SOMA on the PS4 looks and plays great. highly recommend looking into this one if you're already interested in it frank.club fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Oct 10, 2015 |

ArfJason posted:theres a niche series of SNES games called 帰ります (Hepburn romanization: Goubak-Tsu) which is fairly light on the horror and is considered as a nice introduction to people less brave. Never released outside of japan but luckily a fan group recently translated the best entry Grand Battle Stand, so as your october play recommendation, i suggest Goubak-Tsu: GBS belated drat to the man jason

SAW the Game was so bad that they removed it from steam. One of my friends streamed it one halloween, and while it has some jump scares that game was funny as hell to watch. Just a suggestion to celebrate the lighter side of halloween.

The WAU was probably looking for another puppet and found your scan and shoved it into a corpse without knowing that you'd gain sentience. It must've used some WAU goop too because you can heal from the WAU bulbs Oh actually there's a little conversation that confirms that the WAU brings you back because it still maintains a directive to bring back humanity Ending is crazy Seriously one of the best horror games I've ever played frank.club fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Oct 12, 2015 |

The RE1 remake for GameCube is excellent, the red skull zombies do a lot to make the game even more tense than it was on psx. It's really like a polished classic experience. Didn't know it was on PC

Mainly it's the fact that you don't even encounter the main antagonist, or even know who he is, until very late in the game. The level design was also clearly thrown together without much thought. If I remember right this is the game with the elevator that moves in impossible directions

Games I'm gonna play this October/Halloween: -Silent Hill 2 -Fatal Frame 2 -Resident Evil HD Remake Maybe I'll finally finish Alan Wake as a breather between these very good and very scary games. I was near the end I think but the combat was so boring that I dropped it.

vampire: the masquerade - bloodlines is $4.99 on steam right now. it's not really a horror game, but does have a few scary parts sprinkled in like forcing you to interact with homeless people. it's still an awesome game that everyone should play. it can be kinda buggy so get the unofficial patch
