Played the first FAITH game tonight. Was a fun like 45minutes. I somehow avoided everything about the games except that they're extremely popular and it is funny to see how this is totally why so many crappy horror games from itch.io use that specific text to speech voice thing lol.

FAITH is so sick, and I found that every game in the trilogy only gets better.

Faith is extremely good, though I feel chapter 2 is the weakest of the three, myself. It's still good!

Victorian folk-horror aside, the characters are intriguing and the puzzles are consistently logical throughout. I tried getting into Darkwood last year but stopped. Maybe it'll be my tradition like Evil Within is yours. Honestly, the last part of Evil Within is some bullshit as it turns into a really tough gauntlet of enemies being thrown at you. Probably my main reason of not wanting to jump back into it. I just finished Signalis a few days ago, and now I'm reading the King in Yellow to get more connected to its world.

I keep hearing people talk up the King in Yellow as it relates to a lot of horror games but I'm about halfway through it and I just don't really find it that compelling. Lovecraft had some issues but his prose is a lot better imo because his stories tended to be 70% grounded mystery novel and 10-30% wiggly wobbly fish cult stuff, while King In Yellow is kind of the opposite. They aren't *bad* stories, just not as cohesive as I was expecting for as much as people were throwing the book title around.

I enjoyed Hob's Barrow even though it's very much a Bad Decisions Simulator. Terrific atmosphere and some great use of rotoscoped cutscenes that don't overstay their welcome

Its definitely not horror but the loving elephant scene in "it takes two" absolutely comes across as horror. What the gently caress.

My dumb rear end was trying to figure that out so appreciate it. Doesn't appear to have fixed it by editing, though (again, at least on my browser). Thanks, Elon. Anyway, Bitmap Books have a horror games themed book launching in October. I only own their first person shooter one up to now but it's excellent and very high quality.

Got a little fed up with FAITH chapter 2. You move too drat slow...It didn't really bug me in the first game since you had only a couple screens to navigate outside the forest but the scale being larger here didn't help. It's still really cool I just find myself getting annoyed lol.

Played a little bit of Paranormasight last night and man, it's surprising how the simple act of allowing you to turn around adds a lot of spookiness to a game. Really brings the 'oh poo poo there's something behind me' chills, and having to turn around yourself to see it.

So the SCP: Secret Files dev team doesn't exist anymore. Apparently, there was an announcement a few months ago I completely missed. It was really atmospheric and cool, even if it was too short for my liking, but it sucks when you have people who seem to understand a thing with nearly limitless potential and it just...fizzles out after a great start

I bought this and planned to play it together with my partner for our yearly October spooky game marathons (Fatal Frame games are always a must, but also a good VN/narrative game), but this post makes me want to get started two weeks early.

One of the first things that happens is that you're hanging out with someone in the dead of night who screams and points behind you. She's completely wracked with fear and can't say a word. Knowing that I had to turn around myself, slowly, genuinely got my pulse racing. I haven't even made it to the plot proper and I really want to know where it goes.

Having played through the whole game, I agree Paranormasight is pretty solid and a good length, although I think it could've stood to spend more time on some of the revelations, cause a few felt a bit rushed. (Somewhat vague end game stuff) Namely, I feel like it petered out near the end when it finally revealed the meta twist. Felt like about an hour was missing somehow.

Everyone bear with me, I'm sorry if this has been pointed out before, but uh Can somebody please explain to me why Bloober is doing Silent Hill 2 as opposed to, I don't know, Silent Hills? BlooberTeam has made their entire business model off of making PT clones, am I losing my mind? It's been a decade. Also the one ex-Bloober guy who tried to preserve PT has Yamaoka attached now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1807210/Stray_Souls/ Enemabag Jones fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 23, 2023 |

Bloober has no capacity for unique creative thoughts. Even if they were given Silent Hills it would just be a mash of every other Silent Hill game at the same time, killing even more women
