Horror games where they shoehorn in puzzles are the bane of my existence. However a puzzle game where they throw in some horror elements? Good buddy sign me up

See I love the puzzle aspect of Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Some day I'm going to put a piano in front of my bathroom and guests will need to play Moonlight Sonata to take a poo poo

Never forget starting SH3 in hard puzzle mode then needing to know the order Shakespeare plays were written in. How hard could it be...

As Voidburger's excellent LP of the game documented through interviews with the original translator, two of the other most infamous puzzles were straight up bugged; the community had rationalized explanations for the "correct" answers.

I somehow manage to solve the sliding tile puzzles but just keep swapping tiles and maybe there's a mathematical reason for it but more often than leaves the puzzle on a state where I can solve it

Finished Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, very odd game, especially if you just play it on normal so one of the main characters never appears or gets mentioned again after chapter 9. I was expecting another boss at the end too since the final fight was nothing, though I guess the final piano puzzle was the real boss. Honestly I think I preferred 5, at least playing as intended with the WiiU controller.

Took me just over 12 hours to beat, average for a horror game I guess? Probably didn't count the 20 minutes I lost because I got stuck in doorway and couldn't move and hadn't been near a save point for a while.

I must be a loving idiot because I didn’t notice the tiles on the sliding box puzzle had literal numbers on them indicating their placement left to right. That made it doable. I must’ve been so blinded by rage at the sight of it that it totally escaped my vision.

Oh hey, underwater submarine horror coop Barotrauma has hit 1.0: https://store.steampowered.com/app/602960/Barotrauma/ It's not quite my kind of game, being mission based, but it looks like a game I'd like to watch certain groups playing.

Morpheus posted:Oh hey, underwater submarine horror coop Barotrauma has hit 1.0: Barotrauma is great and manages some extremely tense and creepy moments while also being a game where we managed to kill one of our team because one of the toilets on the sub didn't have access to oxygen when the door was shut.

Morpheus posted:Oh hey, underwater submarine horror coop Barotrauma has hit 1.0: The campaign is technically mission based but has an overarching goal you're working toward (getting to the center of Europa) that requires quite a bit of effort. That said, the game is best played multiplayer and the larger the group the better imo. 4 people is about the minimum and you probably want to stick with smaller subs, though the Bot ai has improved significantly so larger subs can be done with some npc hires

My first instinct when I am confronted with a sliding puzzle is to frantically move the pieces at random in hope I solve it by accident and don't have to deal with it

The problem with sliding block puzzles is that they aren't really hard, they're just tedious.

To me it’s like, not only does it kill the pace dead, but it’s incredibly lazy and unimaginative at the same time. It’s like, really? Just don’t have a puzzle here at all if you aren’t going to think up something besides plopping this in there.

To be fair I was fine with the 5-tier one, it's just the weird configurations they did after that threw me.

Not a horror game (unless you count Sam Barlow's writing  ), but you get an achievement/trophy for beating the Solitaire mini-game in Telling Lies. I like to look at trophy stats when I'm bored at work (how many people got this far in the game? Which mini-game did people play the most? etc), and apparently more people are missing the essential childhood experience of "playing Solitaire on the family computer for hours at a time" than I would have assumed.  Just numerous posts of people like "How the gently caress do you play this loving game, gently caress this achievement" and I'm like

I am sad we don't live in a world where doors have trick locks. No one would rob a bank if you need to solve a sliding tile puzzle to open the vault. Every piece of furniture should be built like del Toro's cabinet of curiosity. Have me turn the correct order of spigots to flush the toilet, gimme that Layton nightmare living.

Honestly I don't understand why these billionaires with more money than they know what to do with don't live in Resident Evil mansions. I imagine building a 1:1 replica of the Spencer estate would have to cost less than buying Twitter
