Or am I mixing it up with something else? Either way it seems like w way to test the waters for if the Fatal Frame/Project Zero series can bring the fans.

I just finished Chasing Static earlier this evening, and it is very good. It has its official release tomorrow. It's like Stranger Things meets Dark with a PS1 aesthetic.

Inscryption is out. It's never exactly horrifying but it's consistently creepy with a lot of fun, disturbing subtext to the story. Strong recommend for your Halloween gaming vibes.

Played a couple hours of Visage today and...eh. So far I'm not seeing what separates it from a generic indie horror game one would buy for like five bucks, except for some nicer graphics. Feels like a haunted house simulator. Also bought The Coma 2, which looks neat.

The new Supermassive title House Of Ashes is actually okay so far.

It's okay in that you get to repeatedly explore the same space unlocking things each time, while the spook stuff happens. After you unlock those things - usually literal doors - they stay unlocked. It's way more Outlast than whatever gives you an option to fight back. Unfortunately, those locked things change between runs/chapters. It's a walking simulator (with both the good and bad that come with that) that relies on you memorizing the layout of the house. It's also incredibly trope-y, but it's pretty short, and despite all that, kind of fun. There's an okay story here. For a thing that said "we're going to do PT, but do it RIGHT!", it's an all right couple hours. Check it out on gamepass if you have that. If you don't like it after the first "episode", chuck it. Otherwise, go nuts. If you're going into it blind and just want to have fun with it, choose whatever chapter thing looks cool, but maybe be prepared to google stuff because a couple of the puzzles are obtuse. e: i've said "okay" twice here, it's okay. It is. But google a problem if you have it, OK is OK. Also for people who set out to make a playable trailer "a game", it succeeds?

Speaking of PT-likes, nothing ever came of that Allison Road game, huh? Looks like it was canceled. This quote from the developers (regarding the game having outdoor environments) always interested me: quote:When you are in the house all you want is to get out, when you are out all you want is to get back into the ‘safety’ of the house.

i watched john wolfe's playthrough of Poppy Playtime and it looks like the latest attempt at an episodic horror game a la Bendy and the Ink Machine, except this one has actual gameplay and genuinely unnerving monster design looking forward to seeing how it develops

treat posted:Do you mean individual chapters are a couple hours? I downloaded it but I was under the impression it was a 10 hour game and that sounded exhausting. If you don't get lost you can solve a chapter in like an hour, from what I have seen. If you play with a guide you could probably do it within 10 minutes. It's mostly slower because the house is pretty large and the first chapter you'll probably spend running around unlocking doors just because your instinct is "if I have a key then the objective must be behind the locked door" which isn't necessarily true unless it's something very specific

Oxxidation posted:i watched john wolfe's playthrough of Poppy Playtime and it looks like the latest attempt at an episodic horror game a la Bendy and the Ink Machine, except this one has actual gameplay and genuinely unnerving monster design The game would function as an impressive pitch to an invester but the lack of transparency on what it is leaves me a little wary. You have to read into the about section to learn it's one chapter and presumably future chapters will be DLC. The actual title should indicate what it is and I'm a little surprised Steam allowed it or maybe more accurately Steam just isn't aware (most likely they just don't care but every other episodic game is up front about being episodic). al-azad fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Oct 22, 2021 |

Five bucks for about an hour and a half of gameplay seems like a pretty decent proposition. Compare it to going out to a movie for over twice that! And if you're a prick, you could refund it, I guess. vv: I'm going by the steam reviews. Most of them seem to be at 1.2-1.9 hours. I agree with your point about transparency tho.

90 minutes is generous but my beef is that it has all the checkboxes for a Bendy style release but isn't directly upfront about being an episodic game. e: I was curious about the origins because it kind of popped up out of nowhere and I've heard of none of the people involved. They launched a Kickstarter back in September that bombed pretty hard. Going by the numbers on Steam they probably got their investment back and then some so good on them for just winging it. e2: Ooooooh most of the staff at least on the animation side are formed from animators that did Minecraft and FNaF videos yeah this all makes sense. al-azad fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Oct 22, 2021 |

They posted some RE4 VR footage over in the Resident Evil thread, and it looks wild. I think I'd be way more scared and frantic seeing everyone running at me in first person compared to the original. Wish I had the right setup.

Also yes Inscryption very good. Banged on through to the ending tonight, the finale is great.

I finished up House of Ashes. I think I like it more than Until Dawn. its much longer than the last 2 games, and I really dig the constantly escalating threat of whats going on. Without any spoilers it gets WAY bigger in scale than anything the other games have approached. Salim is the ultimate bro. One spoiler I guess, it has nothing to do with the actual plot but its a "callback" I guess? When you survive, its exactly 6 am. You survived, Until Dawn.

I know the developers of House of Ash said it wouldn't all be a hallucination/dream, but did they find a loophole which made that technically true, or did they actually follow through on their promise?
