But it has a statue of Sonic standing in a Genesis that goes "Sega" when your press it and a fake Genesis cartridge that has a gold ring in it!

CharlestheHammer posted:What who sold Gone home as that I didn't know anything about Gone Hone until it was a free game but I assumed it wasn't actually a horror game after the first twenty minutes because I assumed they wouldn't suddenly add running or combat mechanics to their lumbering house-explorer sim halfway through. Also I was way more intrigued by the dad's alt-history sci-fi novel than the sister's normal teen angst.

I AM THE TOILET posted:I'm spoilering Gone Home because there's always one guy who hasn't played it: It was heavily implied during Gone Home that the house was haunted. If you go into the game knowing what to expect, knowing that it's all grounded in reality and there are no monsters waiting to jump out and eat you, then it loses all its tension. It 'works' because it's sold as a jump scare game. So that's why I feel it qualifies under my description of "wackadoo unseen forces/paranormal bullshit that may or may not be actually real." What on earth. No. What are you talking about. The only tension I felt playing that game blind was when I thought the girl had killed herself. The ghost thing amounts to very little.

I didn't even have that. The lack of tension is sort of my problem with Gone Home; it's overall just a rather boring experience.

Just to be clear; I love Gone Home. But it's the opposite of a tense and scary game

I got a bit "awww poo poo no" when I saw the bathtub but then quickly saw the bottles next to it and was relieved. That was a good moment.

morallyobjected posted:I just thought it was creepy enough exploring an empty house, especially with all the places with poor lighting, and the basement, etc.. I don't think it was ever sold as a horror game with jump scares, but it definitely has a kind of eerie ambiance to it. Was Maniac Mansion a walking simulator, too? You had to walk all the way to the mansion I guess that was really far.

Gone Home seems like the thing where people either enjoy it as the story of a family and their various problems that your character apparently never knew about or they dislike it because they expected a horror game or wanted more gameplay than just walking around finding keys/opening safes. Honestly, I don't think either interpretation is wrong either.

Walking Sims generally have very little talking to other people.

More people in 1994 or whatever probably played Doom 1 with a joystick or pure keyboard than a mouse.
