The_Doctor posted:I remember getting stuck right at the start of the first Alone in the Dark. Carnby starts in the attic, but I couldn’t get by either of the gargoyles guarding the stairs,’so that was as far as I ever got. I got stuck there as a kid til a friend explained it to me- take the mirrors in the locked dresser draw in the adjacent bedroom (the key's in the vase by the bed, which you'll need to throw to break) and place them on the statues by the nightgaunts. There's actually a clue in the room with the cavalry sabre, but it's easy to not realize it:

The itch.io bundle for reproductive rights has some good indie horror stuff, including Bloodwash, Lakeview Valley, Lost in Vivo, Pigsaw, The Glass Staircase, Night of the Consumers, Sucker for Love, Spookware, and some stuff from the Dread X Collections, including all of Torple Dook's games, Phili Hesselback's Axis Mundi, and corpsepile's Submission (the last two of which are absolute standouts of the Collections). Great bundle if the indie stuff is your jam. (It's also got Catlateral Damage, if you just want to be a kitty knocking stuff off of shelves for a bit.)

FirstAidKite posted:I know the puppet combo knockoff devs 616 Games put out a collection of trashy games made up of various stolen assets, meme sounds, and overall just bad presentation and one of their games was just the columbine massacre. Went and looked and they have an entire four-game "Poop Killer" series, including an origins prequel. Tantalizing!

I'm doubtful that the devs are interested in the things that I love about AitD but at least it'll have cool monsters and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Derceto.

In the first one you're either a scumbag PI who came to the mansion as sort of an advance scout for a broker who's pretty clearly going to loot the place, or you're the beloved niece of the recently-suicided owner looking for answers, and you wind up trapped by the thing that drove him to it. The later games star a guy who is theoretically the first one but he's increasingly kind of theoretically a badass monster-fighter in the most boring possible ways.

dogstile posted:Hot take for me: it's fine that characters have personal demons because I legitimately don't know anyone IRL who's not got something they're struggling with, even if they outwardly present fine. Video games needed the equivalent of Laurence Fishburne saying "We're leaving." in Event Horizon

Morpheus posted:Shadow Complex, a metroid-like initially released on the 360, is about investigating why a woman you met in a bar the night before suddenly vanishing into a large secret facility. First thing you do is drop into a large entranceway, and then have to find a way out. Along the way to find evidence of government plots and her role in them, whole big thing. This is up there with the dog/ufo endings.

Disposable Scud posted:I think these ripoffs are the only ones that don't annoy me. Soulslike rips bring me no satisfaction at all. I'd rather play any of the old shooters over the boomer shooters being released. This genre though? I smile whenever I see the RE1 mansion with the numbers filed off. While going through Fobia I decided to start up Them And Us and this poo poo straight up comes across as a fanmade REmake mod, with RE0's item dropping implemented. At least try Dusk sometime, as it's very very good.

Are you just now finding out that the game development industry is massively abusive and takes advantage of people's desire to make games to get away with treating people like poo poo? This has been common knowledge for ages.

Hakkesshu posted:I think Fatal Frame is the only series to have freaked me out so much to the point where I didn’t wanna play it. There’s just something about those games, man. The core mechanic makes the strongest move staring directly at the ghost and letting it get right up in your face before you attack, which is a brilliant bit of design for a horror game.

The story really starts in 2, but yeah, there's very few games I'd call actually bad and even the ones that don't work as well as the others are generally at least trying something interesting. I'm just sad the pace of them slowed - we got spoiled getting three the first year.

The heads were terrifying because they're inescapable and inevitable. You can't kill your head without dying yourself, you can't wait it out, and the heads are everywhere so it's not like you can just keep away from it- if they don't get you immediately all you can really do is wait till you starve/dehydrate or until you slip up and they get you. That's pretty scary! And hard to communicate in a game.

TheWorldsaStage posted:I'm so glad you enjoyed Stories Untold! I played Stories Untold and Night in the Woods back to back and they've both got scenes where you not only can't stop the protagonist from doing something incredibly stupid and self-destructive but must actively do it yourself and it's something no other medium can offer.

Read After Burning posted:No Kuon representation on that IGN list? Given that Kuon costs like $500 for a legit copy, and that price is due to the low supply, it's no surprise that Kuon doesn't really have a large constituency.
