Actually, much to the orangutan’s continued frustration, humans are sadly also often found in libraries.

The librarians are easily dealt with two fully pumped crossbow shots. It made that section a lot better than trying to stealth through it.

500 Zeus a body.


I hate to see those titty nurses the same way I hate to see Bethesda rehash the iconography in Fallout in every time.

They were an element that made sense in their debut, as they were a reflection of the protagonists psyche. Now they're just a recurring face stripped of context used for name recognition.

The twist of this British Silent Hill is that the protagonist releases they're not in a nightmarish hellhole because they voted Brexit, they just live Swindon and its normally that bad.

It's also weird for these modern protagonists who are like 23 years old to be lusting after uniforms that haven't been used since they were born. Nurses just wear scrubs now basically everywhere.

Silent Hill set in Britain has a lot of potential:

- Terrifying monsters based on English cuisine
- That mace they have in parliament as a weapon
- Gammon monsters that angrily follow you into the bathroom to make sure you are the right gender
- Silent Hill desperately attempting to repel British expats that keep trying to buy property there

The bloober team project that was in the works then cancelled by Disney was an Alien game set in the middle ages

If anything I wish it wasn't cancelled and it looks like it could work, and not fall victim to the terrible writing traps that plagued some of their other games

james is sexually frustrated and because of his Circumstances associates the feminine form with death and disease. he's got issues

heather is a teenage girl

The nurses are only in like five games - two of them are the American ones so they're just creatively bankrupt and re-using poo poo from SH2, and in 1 they looked like this



The only other game that has nurses and it doesn't make sense for the boob focus is 3 and there they're less sexualized in-game than their concept art suggests

SH2 monsters are horny because James is frustrated and horny and the monsters reflect his frustration. SH3 monsters are horny because they are the manifestation of an entire cult's unwanted sexual advances aimed at Heather.

Yeah but when nurses are fantadtized about they're not in scrubs. It's those pinup nurse uniforms/costumes with the hat.

Silent Hill 4 monsters are horny because Walter was mutilated by his apartment-mom and is sexually emasculated as a result (see my posts on the wiki). Silent Hill Homecoming monsters are horny because it's hard to find a place to jerk off in peace in the army/asylum (oh my god he was a mental health patient not a real soldier.....)...

SH3's development was a bit of a hot mess, the hospital and the town portion copy pasted directly from 2 is the most obvious sign of it in the game. Konami mandated it be a sequel to 1 and have a return to silenthill proper halfway through development time.

choose your own horror isekai sci-fi Souls-like urban fantasy gamer simulator adventure

or don't?
does a non-human player avatar enhance or detract from a surreal / bizarre horror type experience

like if your character is a moai or a giant fungus obviously that would detract from a gritty, down to earth zombie violence simulator, but

for something like a Yume Nikki that's more about weirding you out or keeping you bothered, would having a silent but visually absurd in-game representation draw you in more or would it take you out compared to a more grounded "character"

I'm thinking about building something weird

For the western games, Murphy wasn't overly horny. Just boring, which is represented by the bad monster design of Downpour. Also if the monsters are horny in Shattered Memories, that's on the player. The nurses in SH3 also had a very different design from the SH2 nurses, not sure why people are misremembering them as horny. They look more like porcelain dolls with Parkinson's disease in 3 than anything.

Murphy was horny but he had sex dolls with JoJo stands instead of nurses. He was also just a side character in someone else’s actual Silent Hill game - I bet the police lady shot plenty of sexy nurse monsters.

Definitely not saying this isn't valid, mind elaborating? In Control I couldn't help but think if it would have just veered off a cliff into horror how loving great it would have been.

I liked Control, but not as much as I could have.
