<forgot it auto posts

I'm not even sure the game is horror or just boogidy boo jumpscares.

They fucking cut my post earlier today so I don't know..

Step one u fucked it up, it's hard to cooperate

Alright, I apologize, this is all on me.

>>14503853

Did you draw that or was it the etch a sketch guy (lily-liver) who came onto /tv/ a while back?

Playing Deadwood

>Never played this game before

>no intentional jumpscares (big seller right there for me)

>2nd night

>Know that the "spirits" of this wood fuck with me and open doors.

>Fucking knock on the door.

>Wait for a few seconds

>More knocking

>Open door to see if it's the "benefactor" I heard about.

>Savage: AVON CALLING! HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU OUR FACIAL DECONSTRUCTION SERVICES!

>Nearly die but kill him with fucking nail plank

>Next morning.

>Invitation to a wedding on the floor in front of the front door.

Someone compared this to STALKER… I'd say it's much more of a Slavic grim fairy tale… but I kinda get it.

>>14504532

I pirated it to see if I liked it, its pretty spooky but I got a bit tired of it and dropped it. I may give it another shot and if I beat it I'll throw some money down.

>>14504634

Patrician taste. First time i played through the swamp level i hated it, but gotta love how shit hits the fan when you revisit the mansion after learning that bitch was behind it all.

>>14504532

I can only find a PnP game and a tv series, you sure that's the name?

When RE4 first went to nighttime, that spooked the hell out of me back then, good shit

is scratches myst like in difficulty or is it easy to play through blind?

>>14504946

>>14504532

I think anon meant Darkwood?

>>14505337

You can play through it blind, there's a couple of puzzles that fall into dream logic, but it's not Sierra horrible

>scratches directors's cut is fucked with meme palettes

>vanilla is securom'd

What do?

>>14503720

>buying

There was one post a while ago where the thread started with asking how to make a good text-only horror game and one anon had one that other anons liked. Something eldritch and in a library. Anyone got that saved?

>>14503720

I just downloaded SOMA to see if it's worth my money.

What should i expect ?

Is it Good ?

>>14505851

Story is good.

Gameplay is shit.

I consider shit like this a non-game, but if you're in for the story, avoid spoilers as it does some really cool stuff.

Would be dank movie/television tbh.

What are some really mysterious spooky games where I'll be really intrigued and want to see what happens next?

>>14505904

Thank you kindly.

I was once spoiled that the brain scan is just the doctor making a copy of you, i don't know wich one is the copy, is that true ? if so is it still worth going trough the game or was that the final plot-twist ?

>>14505851

It's a glorified walking simulator, but one of the very few ones I'd call good. Just don't expect an actual adventure with puzzles and such.

>>14505954

The final plot twist also involves copies, but is not what you are thinking of.

okay saturday nights over time to delete the thread

>>14505357

>>14504946

Yep, meant Darkwood. By Acid Wizard.

>>14506694

I myself woudl as Darkwood as an Indy title. Didn't think a top down game could give me spooks, but they have ambient sounds down to a science in this game.

>>14506694

STASIS is fairly good for the first half of its storyline before they go full apeshit with the plot.

Also, DreadOut should be there. At least the base game - avoid the DLC-turned-Standalone like the plague. It's one of the most blatant examples of asset recycling I've seen in all my years.

Also, Sylvio. Very clunky from a gameplay perspective (more or less a one-man project), but dear good can the atmosphere make you shit bricks on a dark night. As with above, avoid the sequel; which happens to be the equivalent of an aborted child with fetal alcohol syndrom and anencephaly.

>how would you make a text adventure horror game work?

Simple.

>eldritch horror

>character is researching myths and legends in a library

>as they go through the library, they find a dead body

>in panic, they grab some books to leave, they realize they don't know how they entered

>mystery becomes how they leave the library

>they go through books upon books for information trying to figure out the truth of the myths and if that's why he's in the library

>as the game goes on, he begins to hallucinate and ASCII art of his surroundings and the eldritch beings he's researching force their way onto the screen

>begins looking into previous books to cross reference information

>the books text changed, but the player is not informed of this

>the end of the game is him realizing that he doesn't even remember his name

>he's never looked into a mirror

>he doesn't even know if he's even spoke before

>he has not had any control over his actions the entire time

>all he sees are books, placed on shelves and cabinets nailed to the floor

>begins ripping out paper and cuts himself as much as he can

>text is auto scrolling and cannot be stopped

>when he finally dies, the game crashes

>launch the game again

>you're back in the library

>as they go through the library, they find a dead body

about galerians, how's the ps2 game? i played the psx ages ago, was kind of easy to lock yourself on a massive headache and kill everything including yourself but was pretty fun overall.

>>14506694

Shadow Hearts

there are a bunch of good text-based horror games out there perhaps most famously Infocom's The Lurking Horror (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lurking_Horror)

Anchorhead is half decent too but I found parts of it annoying (the attic passageway maze) and some puzzles irritating.

>>14524099

that's the nightmare stage anon (it's my personal favorite, you never know what you're gonna get next)

>>14525533

Do it my dude. Condemned is an amazing horror game and I can absolutely recommend it. The second one is not as good, but it's kind of underrated.

>>14525533

>tfw when you are stalked by some creepy child ghost eldritch abomination

>go through tunnel

>up ahead are multiple enemy troops, you're already low on ammo and health. How the fuck are you going to survive this

>Entire enemy squad detonates into a fine red mush, and you hear a girl's voice softly whispering "You're safe now"

>tfw no Alma to watch over you

At that point, I just wanted to give her a hug; chance to be insta-gibbed included. That most of her dialogue in Fear 2 basically boils down to her being confused why Beckett pushes her away and/or her begging him to stay with her only makes it more depressing.

Right up until she rapes him

Is Don't Knock Twice any good? I'm looking for a horror game for the Switch to play on the go.

>>14538427

Hey, at least you could see your own reflection in the bathroom mirrors. Ain't too often that modern shooters still have that.

>>14538427

Supposedly they improved the AI, but because it's a corridor shooter with only one way to go the AI can't actually demonstrate any ability.

>>14538438

oh, there's definitely good things about the game. Hell, the graphics still look really good… but the two main things, being the gameplay and AI, are just embarrassing considering its predecessor. I put it up to its hardest difficulty (like I did with FEAR) and was just running through the thing with ease. The AI never tried to do anything other than hide behind one object for cover then pop more than half their body out for an easy head shot.

i'm playin dead space 2.

i didn't really like it when it first came out, but i'm taking my time now, reading audio logs and looking at the enviroment more.

EA totally fucked up the progression system so i have to do a bunch of busywork to make the game have decent challenge.

but other than that having fun.
