I love horror games that make you dive into a persons personal life, learning about them through pictures, messages, social posts, everything. Need someone to make one based off of PI.FYI.
It’s funny cause I’m too scared to actually play most of the games, I watch other people play them on Youtube. I’m just obsessed with the storytelling you can do with this medium. Especially sick if the game is made by just one obsessed person. My favorite of all time is Sally Face. But I’ve also watched a ton of Silent Hill and Fear and Hunger playthroughs.
if you are constantly traumatized thinking about how silent hill: pt could have been the best horror game of the decade, you should play this. took heavy inspiration from pt as well as resident evil and acts like a choose your own adventure horror with several different endings. lots of fun puzzles and the visuals are so pretty. very atmospheric, psychological and tense.
From a “hobbyist” perspective, the natural conclusion of OSSC upscaling fetishism and a PS2 with a hard drive is getting to play this gorgeously freaky little game on original hardware without buying a price gouged £200+ disc copy.
From a personal perspective, I think I’ve tripped and stumbled into prototyping a video game? Music isn’t speaking to me the way that it used to and I guess I’m looking for a more gag driven way to get my point across. Survival horror is such malleable language. So I’m deluding myself into considering this research. Playing it in tandem with Silent Hill 4 to get a nice spread of dream-logic nightmare realms that clash with domestic horror. I do so wish P.T. was still accessible. If anybody has any other suggestions or favourites in this category I’d love to hear them!
Deliciously creepy stuff.
