The Noctoguant is a being of condensed nightmare. Its muscles bulge with preternatural strength. It can effortlessly rip doors off of their frames, tear through metal with its claws, and can move with surety and terrifying speed in the darkness. No weapon of man can do anything but temporarily slow the monster down as it draws closer and closer to its prey. The natural world seems to splinter and suppurate by the mere fact of the Noctogaunt's unearthly and abominable presence, and its every footstep leaves behind a trail of bloody corruption. If, through some horrific circumstance, it catches you, your fate will be dire indeed: you will have to complete a quicktime event to escape from its grasp, which will make it drop aggro for a few seconds and give you another chance at some weird light-based puzzle or something. Also sometimes the Noctoguant will glitch into a door and just kind of vibrate impotently.

The timer says I've been running around this lovely old dilapidated house of cretinous monsters for the last 13 hours but whenever I look through a window to the outside it's always completely pitch-black. Thirteen loving hours of 1AM? Oh hey a new door, and the moment I step through it's now inexplicably the early dawn. What.

Well, seems like I'm done with this key. I better just discard it. No, that would be careless. I'm gonna hide it behind thr left eye of this bust of late Roman emperor Maximus Thrax that requires a riddle about giraffes and two gemstones up it's nose to open.

yeah so the apocalypse is happening and there is chaos everywhere. your story is just one of thousands or even millions of horrifying tales happening even as we speak. you want to go see some of them? sorry, how about you stay in these series of interconnected small rooms with no exterior access or other people to talk to. the apocalypse is definitely happening though, you can tell by the skybox with a skyscraper with smoke coming out of it, and, if you’re really nice, we can throw in a helicopter flyby or maybe some ambient audio of ambulance sirens or screams or gunshots, how does that sound?

If I rescue that toddler from being eaten by wolves, I wont' have time to rescue my wife from being kidnapped by cannibals! I can't do both, and either way I'll be responsible for somebody's death...Oh no, I accidentally set fire to an animal rescue shelter in my attempt to save that toddler. Now my wife is dead and a mob of angry veterinarians is chasing us! Maybe I should just sit on this rock and do nothing. Oh no, I accidentally sat on the button that launches the nuclear missiles. Who left that here? I could push the recall button, but that would require gnawing my own leg off to reach it...Ok, the missiles are recalled and my leg is gone. I'm going to bleed out if I don't trade the toddlers last bottle of insulin to the angry veterinarians for a tourniquet...Ok, I got the tourniquet, but I had to tell the veterinarians that it was the toddler who set the fire. RIP, Timmy. I'll have to lie to Timmy's meth-addicted, gun-happy parents when they ask where he is...

There, I did it, I killed the big monster -- which was only slightly bigger than the rest of the monsters -- time to leave and go home thanks to this convenient helicopter escape. I've been so overly-cautious throughout this whole excursion, using only the shittiest weapons purely because something big might have turned up, that I have stashed enough in the way of supplies to go through it all again ten times over and just make everything in my way loving explode, all without a care in the world. What do you mean I don't get to keep this stuff for next time? My only reward is the option to wear some dumb novelty outfit? Aw gently caress.

I must make the most harrowing choice I'll ever make in this horror game: do I choose to save even though the save screen flashes a really bright red color that will hurt my eyes because its so dark in my room, or do I risk pushing onward without saving and spare my eyes the pain?

That was a close escape. It's a good thing reanimated skeletons don't know how to use ladders.

I'm going to make no attempt to fight back against these monsters that drain my sanity to even look at, even though there are tons of things I could use as potential weapons to help my escape. I can't even try, and my only option is to run or badly hide with no real supporting stealth mechanics, despite the fact that the Thief game series was like 10 years ago and essentially had hide and seek gameplay on lock. Light and sound don't seem to really matter, just that I find the exact hiding spot the game wants and don't look at the bad monster because the devs couldn't actually do organic modeling for poo poo and based their game around not looking. Which, tbf, good play. But this is a horror game! For real! Not a glorified version of the walking sims people sneer at! I've died 3 times because I couldn't stop laughing at the monster coming at me. It's ok, buddy, kill me, the tension is kinda gone, you can borrow some of my polygons, because I think you need them more than me.

Bats! Watch out, bats are instantly deadly if you touch them. See how they all hover at a fixed height above the ground? All we have to do is crouch down to avoid touching them. Let's just hope we don't have to climb up or down any ropes or staircases.

All these cop zombies stumbling around the joint, you'd think at least one of them was carrying a handgun or ammo or even a baton for gently caress's sake. Also the number of male zombies compared to female zombies here is just unbelievable and utterly absurd, something like 50:1. And do kids just completely evaporate or something if they get whatever affliction is causing this shitshow? This place would have been a creepy dump even without the face-eating undead cannibals. I'd turn back the way I came and just leave town, but there's always an inconvenient barricade/traffic pile-up/fire in the way of every exit.

Hi, it's me, the guy you've hitherto only talked to over the radio for the past few hours. I'm just in the next room, behind this door! Open the door and I'm sure we will just have a nice chat. Heck, I'll probably make good on my promise to rescue you and then we can all get out of here.

just heard howling when this area loaded, the few sane villagers left won’t stop talking about a great beast, and there’s posters everywhere saying “BEWARE THE HELLHOUND AFTER SUNSET”. oh boy, a bunch of ammo and health just lying around in this room while the sky turns orange, i’m sure this doesn’t mean anything
