Maybe I didn't give it a fair shake, but like the first fews hours or so of Until Dawn after the prologue that I saw was just a jump scare followed by "tricked you!" over and over until I completely lost interest in the game. :(

also the only interesting character, Flamethrower Man (theory but I'm spoiling it because I'm that sure) is really loving obviously a good guy because he tried to save the girls in the prologue and shushed the one girl in the cave instead of killing her with the goddamn flamethrower but everyone keeps running from him. I want to be in his game instead of unlikeable teens pranking each other simulator.

How the gently caress did that board meeting even go?

It's like a Jason movie. First third is boring then it goes out of control. The moment to moment is great.

I have a bug to play another game along the lines of Until Dawn (there are several characters, there's a mystery to solve, things can go differently depending on how badly you gently caress up and get everyone killed). Suggestions?

Phrasing it that way reminds me of the first couple of Clock Towers, actually

Try Life Is Strange, it's not really a horror game, more of a 2000's indie teen SF movie vibe but it's pretty good.

Oxenfree is a 2D indie game but it has a similar style where you actions and dialogue choices can effect the outcome and it's really good.

Life is Strange definitely gets some serious horror elements in the last episode. I'd have liked it if more of the game was like that.

Also a big Oxenfree fan. I think nine-gear crow from SA was listed as one of the voice actors in it.

Things could be going better

They could make the UD sequel so more complex motion controls make for more interesting interaction, but nah Sony says move headsets so we're going with lovely zombie shooter.

Sony probably gave them a bundle of unmarked bills to pad out the VR launch so it would have more than 1 good game.

You're probably being funny, but in case you're not, the video's an elaborate mockup that uses camera tricks and weird transitions to make a single hallway seem to be about half a mile long, with the rooms becoming gradually more decayed on each pass. The captions maintain the same slightly broken deadpan and repetition of phrases, which makes the whole thing appropriately unsettling.

I wish my attention span online was longer. I watched that video just long enough to see that it was a creepy looking house. Though my brain was mostly wondering how much the repair costs would be then I turned it off after about a minute in.

don't forget the loving decayed corpses of her grandparents

it's weird that no one mentions those when they talk about this video even without doing the admittedly good "this is totally normal" gimmick

What you and I want is Tucker and Dale Versus Evil the video game. A game about some good natured, not pretty person trying to deal with crazy loving teenagers in a horror film.

I think there may also have been some people who legitimately didn't watch the whole thing because of its length and just figured it must be some normal (if off-putting) video of storm damage and closed it before they saw anything unusual.

They're also, admittedly, hard to notice the first time because of how well they blend into the scenery.

I got around to watching FnaF 5's secret endings. Content aside, what surprises me most is that Sister Location has really good voice acting. I don't know who Cawthorn hired or if he directed them himself, but adding VA to that series could have turned out disastrously and it was definitely a well-executed risk.

Some previews coming out for RE7 and it's looking surprisingly good. There's an opening chase after the dinner scene with the Chainsaw Massacre family that looks like something out of Call of Cthulhu with the chase/survival elements of Alien although probably not as punishing for gently caress ups.
