>Are YoU AlOooneeeEee...?who would say yes ever?
>>721114236>Name a more boring "horror" tropeAnalog Horror... wait, it got that Subliminal Spa- wait, it got that aswell, shit
Flashlight batteries run out and need to be found.Big bad horror thing as a metaphor for trauma.The entire game is just collect X items (often journal entries, sometimes gas canisters, talismans, etc...) while running around a spooky sandbox.
>retail game does a rug pull and changes several mechanics from the demo
>>721114236It's an "escape the monster" game but you have a stamina bar that depletes in a heartbeat.
>Look through peep hole>"Let me in anon, I'm cool!"
>>721114404idk I think a half naked man suddenly knocking on my door at night is way more scary than dusty old vhs tapes or an empty mall
>>721114236Anything "lovecraftian"
>>721115175True, but I mean, just dont open the door ? Even this game got no answer for that scenario so they were like "herp derp he can brute force into the house anyway"
>>721114668whats wrong with it? i enjoyed the demo
There are no boring tropes, only shitty execution.
>>721115748He's a big guy
>>721115748>Even this game got no answer for that scenario >literally says the answer to that scenario
>>721115748The answer is really simple. The outside is super dangerous and certain death so you can't leave and can pick between starving to death or suicide by giving yourself to the monster. I imagine this to be quite a comfy game where you are technically safe but you can see a beautiful hellscape of nightmares out of your window.
>>721117257>play game>the possible outcomes are>lose>lose an hour latergood genrei'm sticking with racing games
I feel like I've seen 12 games within the past month, that's>PEOPLE WALK UP TO YOU AND YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT IF THEY'RE REAL OR LE SPOOKY MONSTER!!
>>721117593>papers please but with biblically accurate angels
>>721117474So every game where you die at the end is losing? We should only have happy bing bing wahoo games then I guess.
>>721117942>it's not about the destination, it's about THE JOURNEYNah, guaranteed bad end games are always a complete waste of time. Have the decency of at least telling me that my actions helped a greater good or saved someone who will live a good life, the world is too hopeless to have to suffer through that crap in my videogames too.
>>721115748>twice you look outside and see Christian Bale from The Mechanist standing around in a pile of corpses>the second time it's dead soldiers and he's holding a severed head to show off>"uhhhhmmm it's so creatively bankrupt that he could somehow break down a door that isn't reinforced in any way"
>>721118296fucking thisthese games are just visual novels with a less cringey weeb coat of paintnot to say that they are not fun or it is bad to enjoy them, but i personally don't get it and don't like them.this is a game genre you can really only play once and i just don't understand why anyone would waste their time, especially when the outcome is you die or go inorexably insane or whatever and that's just itit's the nutty putty cave delirium experience but condensed into a game.
>>721118339>erm when mario jumps on the turtle it falls out of its shell>but turtle shells are part of their skeleton so that can’t happen
>>721118296Nah, a clearly communicated guaranteed bad ending that is consequently executed without compromise is absolute kino and because there are too many pussies like you people are afraid of doing it.
>>721117942>So every game where you die at the end is losing?if you ain't first you're last, chump
is this game good i got it in my cart
>>721115721Reddit killed it, as usual.
>>721118790>a clearly communicated guaranteed bad endingalso known as a massive fucking spoiler, a fucking gay trope, a pseudo-intellectual narrative black hole, and several other epithets.
>>721114236They're vampires.That's why you gotta invite them in.
>>721119038The only pseudo intellectual is you. But this is pointless discussion without directly discussing concrete execution. For you it will always be bad because you want it to be bad and lack the imagination for it to be more than bad.
>>721118790>a clearly communicated guaranteed bad endingIs a complete waste of time. Why even bother doing anything when you know from the very beginning that it will bring your guaranteed demise with no beneficial reasons whatsoever? It's like paying someone $100 to break your nose: you will lose $100, your nose will be broken and you will pay even more money from hospital bills. Did you benefit from that? Maybe it will teach you the lesson that paying someone to hurt you is a bad idea, but by then, you have already lost.
>>721118976That horse has been beaten to death literally from every possible side. There is even a moe anime about eldritch horrors.
>>721119367Because it's interesting. A player is given the information that there is an unavoidable horrible death waiting for them at the end. But they just don't know how it will happen so their imagination is going to go wild. They will keep second guessing "maybe the game is deceiving me and there is actually hope". The game, contrary to its premise is actually quite hopeful and bright. The end is far more horrible than they could have ever imagined it. Just because something is clearly communicated doesn't mean there is no surprise even if the clearly communicated thing happens to be the absolute truth.
>>721119670sounds gay i'll pirate iti hate kobayashi maru bullshit
>>721119797The funny thing is what you find gay is the limits of the best of what your imagination and limited intellect can come up with, not something concrete since nothing remotely concrete about this exists. If you are given a canvas to paint on and someone tells you that you can only use black and all you can draw is men fucking each other in the ass then it's not the limitation that is to blame, but your inherently homosexuality driven brain.
>>721114236I look like this.
>>721119670And it once boils down again to the same problem: It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. It amounts to nothing if the game tricks me with tiny slivers of hope if at the end it will ultimately reach the originally announced 100% unavoidable bad end with no redeemable factors whatsoever, and it makes me feel like I completely wasted my time reaching a goal that never existed.One game that comes to mind: Halo Reach. You know you're playing a character on borrowed time, you know that the whole planet will fall, you know you're fighting a losing battle, you watch how your partners fall one after the other and finally you helplessly watch your character desperately clinging to life as he's shot and ganged up from all sides. BUT he achieved his goal, he brought hope to those he helped escape and he helped bring the key to an eventual victory, it is an ending that leaves you with satisfaction because all that struggle amounted to something.Let's just agree to disagree, I hate bad endings and I consider them a waste of time, and if a game is filled with nothing but bad endings and hopelessness, I have no reason whatsoever to subject myself to such depressing scenarios.
>>721120014yeah that's something a gay would saybuy an ad
>>721120468>announced 100% unavoidable bad end with no redeemable factors whatsoeverWhat does this even mean, this is completely subjective. You're just imagining something you're 100% going to hate no matter what. But even in an ending where everyone is going to die there can be absolutely beauty and shining human spirit. If someone manages to make such an ending but the player still feels warmth instead of emptiness then this is an absolute masterpiece.
>>721116072This game fucking sucks.The Demo is pretty much everything and the gameplay/story do not evolve past it.
>>721114236This game was a Zoochosis tier dissapointment.

>>721116072they changed the NPCs to be randomly visitors now, so the stuff like trusting your gut feeling or the woman + dead son where the son is the visitor but the woman wasn't are now just a boring coin tossin the demo it used to be that visitors only killed someone in the same room if they equalled or out numbered them so there was some methodology/deduction, but in the full game they'd kill anyone in the housei didnt play it far enough but the later events apparently happen too close together which removes peoplei think they also increased the FEMA visits, in the demo I think they showed up like once every 5-7 days but in the game they showed up like once every couple days which was shittyi think they also moved up the day the visitors kill so instead of>let them in > sleep > day time talk to them > evening > sleep > they killit went>let them in > sleep > they kill someonewhich encourages you to turtlethere's also a one-in-one-out mechanic so that if you had someone "taking up" the space someone's supposed to take, you have to either kick out the first person or reject the second
>>721124260>guaranteed bad ends are fucking gay>schizophrenic assumptionNigger you can just call him a fucking moron, going "I KNO U R BUT WUT AM I" just makes you look even fucking dumber. Video games are not movies or books or theater

>>721124927A bad end is subjective to begin with so yes, pretending you know what I am talking about is nothing but pseudo intellectual schizo garble. You merely keep imagining something you have predetermined to hate though I doubt at this stage you really care about that at all. We are at a stage where this is just your average perpetual spiteful back and forth where the original topic doesn't really matter.
>>721125292>A bad end is subjectiveHe was right about calling you a pseudo-intellectual

>>721114236It was alright. Got to become a glownigger on my first ending, didn't want to replay it straight away, maybe later.
>>721124629>they changed the NPCs to be randomly visitors now, There are several guaranteed visitors.
>>721126756Only very few, it's a drop in the bucket and doesn't really change the detriment the RNG brings and how the game plays as a result.

The concept of monsters hiding in plain sight is genuinely cool, but people keep fucking it up because they don't understand how to make it work when the player isn't part of the roster (you could but obviously the mystery doesn't work very well if the monster just kills you immediately) but an outside detective, and as a result they either turn the monster into a regular monster or they try really hard to limit the ability of the player to investigate, and it's not very fun.The problem is that you can't just have the monster kill potential suspects because it just make the job of the player easier rather than harder.I think a potential solution would to have more The Thing type monsters, where the monster(s) infect/replace existing suspects rather than just removing them entirely, and the deduction involve trying to figure out who is infected before everyone is.
>>721134169This is how everything horror operates, shit being run into the ground either because of audience demand or corporate demand or both is a problem that's persisted for decades. Don't tell me horror 25+ years ago was any better when there were 9 Friday the 13th movies, 7 Nightmare on Elm Street movies, 7 Halloween movies, and 4 Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies before the year 2000, among a million other popular horror movies that got turned into yearly series where they exhausted every idea within 2-3 movies but kept dragging them out for money.
>>721140508Yeah a concept similar to invasion of the body snatchers would be much better.

>>721128330>the wendigo myth of deerskull headed humanoidsThat's not actually the original myth at all, a D&D book of all things was I believe the origin of the deer head imagery. In the original stories the Wendigo refers to an evil spirit thought of as being incorporeal but you can feel it (like a bitter wind howling through the trees) or the person possessed by said spirit who feels uncontrollable hunger and is driven to cannibalize others or sometimes even themselves. You could become a wendigo if you engage in the taboo of cannibalism or were very greedy. It's very clearly a moral myth meant to warn against the dangers of selfish behavior that harms the rest of the tribe, but has resulted in psychotic delusions where people believe they're possessed. I can't find the source online but I know one of the historical folklore books in my library has a story about some white settler that was thought to have been possessed during a blizzard/famine, and was breaking into people's houses in the village to bite them which is wild.

>>721134989Vampires are jews, dumbass.Medieval court financiers given titles and land, with an aristocratic fear of sunlight, draining the life out of people while both using and being strangely bound by legal rules like not entering a home without permission.>>721138509Yeah it's a whole conflation of various regional myths about shit like that, which is why some of their traits apply more to what we would call zombies like cutting the heads off corpses to stop them coming back, but the modern version pretty much all goes back to Dracula.

>every single person hasn't shown symptoms of being one of the monsters>people start randomly dyingoh boy dont you just love this type of dogshit game design?
>>721124629yeah the game used to be a curated and solvable experience but for some reason they really really wanted replay value so they made it RNG. they should've just kept piling content on it instead
>>721114360Me. I want to lure abominations into my own private domicile to make killing them easier.
What ARE some good horror games released in the past ten or so years? Not Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Outlast, Amnesia, Dead Space etc types but weird shit like this that at least attempts to be novel
>>721114668>>721140842I just know the quarantine zone devs will focus on the wrong thing and fuck it up similarly
>>721147289People said that saving and reloading causes NPCs you invited to get randomized again.
>>721140713Only recent games I can think of that did it alright are cultist sim and sunless sea, although sunless sea is far less similar to the actually content of Lovecraft's work and is kind of faggy. I knew it was over when I played some "Lovecraft inspired game" where they used an insmouthesque taint as a clumsy racism bad allegory. It was really fucking stupid and I knew at that moment that we probably wouldn't have a good piece of Lovecraft inspired media for the next decade.
>>721143340are you kidding? a lot of the characters are edgy assholes, I'm guessing since it's ruski devs they thought that would make it more gritty and epic
>>721147578
>>721147578>>721147289Played it for the first time recently and realized this quickly, I get most of the symptoms are bait to some degree, but as far as I can tell they have the exact same teeth, hand etc if they are a visitor or not making doing tests a waste of time
>>721148931ack
>>721149009I had one where she was a visitor and one where she wasn't and the bearded guy was, same with the fucking coat guy, in my current run he is just a regular fucked up human and not a visitor which doesn't make any sense
>>721147578Does the latest patch not fix this?>Fixed an issue where phone numbers and character identities would get randomized upon reloading
>>721149076glad i didnt buy this, lel
>>721149223I pirate every single player game so it don't matter to me, but it really defeats half the game if the mechanics don't actually matter
>>721114236the brown note/cognitohazards/seeing-this-kills-you-bad effectsit's kinda freaky and badass with the mythological instances like sodom and medusait was a kinda neat creepypasta with the lavender town themethe scp foundation made creative enough use with the broad idea for a few yearsand then it (pun unintended) went to shit. it's so aggressively overused it's absurd now. if you perceive it you suffer le fate worse than death!!11!!!1!
>>721147403Look Outside isn't bad but it kinda loses the horror edge around the midway point and turns into a dark/body horror RPGWho knows whether the hard mode will make it frightening the whole time or make you have to go full RPG min-maxing from the start.
soundtrack release when
>>721150685got the goths as one of my first door knocks and the game easy mode not scary from there on out as we just destroyed everything in battle
How the hell does this lanky fuck overpower you?
>>721151030You're a manlet and he just keep you out of arm reach with one hand.
>>721151030Magic or something. It's supernatural. He ain't gonna explain shit.
>>721151030seeing as the intruder is literally wearing the skin of some poor human (someone the bearded guy met but turned down from his own home in the past), it's likely that the lanky but barrel chested body isn't the intruder's true proportions.do keep in mind that the method of attack visitors use is unclear as we never see it and nobody ever survives to tell the tale. the only inkling we have is the release date trailer showing jacket guy pulling up his shirt and exposing a spiraling infinite void in place of a gut.
>>721151457We do see one attack though, the dude in a coat.
>>721151457theres the guy who saw something and his eyes got all fucked up
What would it take to make the game good?>make interactions more meaningful + add dialogue between guests>make mechanics to check for visitors deeper and less ambiguous + more energy>improve randomisation>add better endings>add more options, like fighting back against FEMA>allow player to enter rooms at night
So what was the deal with the burned bodies and "IT"? Was it ever explained or at least hinted at some more?I get not explaining anything to not ruin it, but it feels like the game doesn't tell you enough to not be just a random thing that happens
>>721123949>>721139345game name?
>>721114236>the only good ending is the one where you fucking suicide and die and end up alone in a place where you're always alone and it's always diewhat the fuck did they mean by that
>>721151770>FEMAIs it really called FEMA in-game? Devs are slavs right? Every screenshot I've seen shows houses that look like pic related next to commieblock towers.
>>721152205There is no deal. There is no answer or hint to anything. It's just a cliché the world is ending + "humans were the real monsters all along" clusterfuck that goes nowhere.
>>721117593>I feel like I've seen 12 games within the past monthThere was some popular youtube horror series that had this premise. I forget how old it is but probably close to the amount of time it takes to develop games like this.
>>721152297I had a hunch that was the caseWould've probably been better if they just stuck to just one or two things, instead of sprinkling in additional random shit that goes nowhere
>>721152256Yes its fema, you can even join them fuck those retards though they took EVERYONE
Mein Gott! Ich werde verrückt! Rette mich, Negerman!
>>721124629Fucking whyWhy not just make this an extra game mode after you complete the game once
>>721152967You would think with this change they would also make it so when you check randomized npcs that maybe their teeth etc would be changed depending on human or visitor, but from what I can tell nope, visitor or human they got all the same pictures for checking
I learned that it's not full random today at the very least.Few are guaranteed to be humans(disfigured guy but he dies after some time, bar guy but he is often the first to be taken by FEMA, widow, wireface) and some are guaranteed to be visitors(cashier, ballerina, coat guy, middle aged woman and more).Everything else is a complete coin flip and sadly, a lot of them even though being human have their share of red herrings.
>>721145540
>>721152460the whole world is ending thing is the lore acquiescing to gameplay. the dev needed a reason to keep you contained in your house, but still wanted the main gameplay to be deducing the impostors among your housemates.
>>721130359They have nothing in common beyond both being apocalyptic.
>>721153127my coat guy this run is human I dont know how it works because nothing is different about him
>>721133943Succubus Prison and Changed are the only two I've seen /v/ manage to have even semi-decent consistent discussion on.
>>721152256>Is it really called FEMA in-gameIt's localized depending on the language you choose
>>721153212Out of three runs I had, my coat guy was always a visitorMaybe there's some of them that have higher chances on being a visitor?This is still so fucking weird, I thought I figured it out
>>721139880No, you're human though it's vaguely implied you might be immortal in some capacity.
>FEMA takes all your survivorsThis seems like an event that should happen much further down the line. You can lose so often and so easily depending on RNG unless you are purposefully leave visitors alive so the pale nigga doesn't choke you
>>721153212Are you sure he is human? Because he doesn't kill until you trigger an event at the end of his dialogue I think
>>721153292You're telling me man, he has all the same checks as if he was a visitor, he just never shows me his stomach
>>721153373no stomach hole shown and im approaching last days, also nobody has died with him around which I guess is normal but shrug
>>721151457If the super intruder breaks into your house, he just crushes your head like a grape, I thought that was the implication with the sound
>>721152256It's FEMA but it stands for something different.
>>721152247Look Outside
>>721134578A thread having one person getting filtered by the inventory isn't /v/ disliking the game. Every darkwood thread I've seen has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm sure if you went to Reddit you'd have a post saying the same thing, only difference is that it would be hidden or deleted by the moderation. I've been reading Pathologic threads for about 15 years. There's occasionally someone seething about the game in them, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a community of people enjoying the games and discussing them when the opportunity pops up.
>>721153436Some visitors can lay dormant until the very end, which is what can fuck up the ending.Some of them don't necessarily kill immediately.
>>721134169is this thing supposed to be scary?
>>721153556he cute
>>721153556It looks like a parody
>>721152205>burned bodiesThe sun is literally exploding. You die if you go outside in the day without shelter.
>>721145540they made her ugly so you pedos wouldn't lewd her
>>721116072Instead of the game making sense and being able to sus out visitors from the dialogue, its completely random now, so you have visitors that act as humans and vice versaOn top of that ALL of the endings are complete dogshit
>>721153556this looks like something Lynch would make, but it would be a chicken egg or something
>>721153621I'd tell her to lift her skirt up so I can check for visitor signs
>>721153606I meant the part where burning the bodies attracts something unspeakable, that you can briefly catch a glimpse of from your window
>>721153358when is that implied? you literally die in multiple endings
>stoner can be a visitor>the fucking kid that stays copped up inside for almost weeks can be a visitor
>>721141534They were huge though, myth states they would grow larger in proportion to anything they ate so they'd always be starving.
>>721127403Used to be a hipster werewolf, nowadays it's basically just a changeling
>>721153606>The sun is literally exploding.FEMA lies, there's nothing wrong with the sun. And there's nothing wrong with living alone and answering questions honestly.
>>721153108evidence does change for randomized guests, the problem is every character has a set of static evidences that will never change for them- they're MEANT to be false positives or false negatives since they're consequences of their personality or job, rather than if they're a visitor or not.teeth and nails also become a non-evidence factor after a number of days. the visitors learn their own tells, and adapt, so people you invite in later will have less viable traits to check.curiously enough, dirty nails invert as a sign of a visitor and turn into a sign of humanity instead. practically (if not all?) all visitors will have clean nails after a point, but some humans will have dirty nails only when human. this is most notable for the hagrid-looking guy, but also the researcher who has a bunch of shit written on his hands. when he's a visitor, he cleans off his fingers from the ink smudges... but when he's a human they're left there.
>>721114236The game is called "No I'm not a Human"
>>721153741I assumed the "something unspeakable" to be Death/the Intruder. Interestingly, the Intruder claism he's not the one calling the shots amongst the Visitors, which makes the idea that he's a proxy or avatar for Death have even more credence.
What was the deal with the ears anyway?
>>721114236i still don't know whats going oni played one run, took in the daughter of the neighbor and the day after she was already dead before i could do anything
How would you survive the visitors irl? I don't even have a gun so i'm screwedI ordered a katana though so maybe that can balance
>>721154454Not being impressionable or mentally insane is a good start.
>>721133943Alien Isolation is cool
>>721114236intrestisting concept, but shitty executieons>>721136049so it seems
>>721154454just don't open the doorez
It breaks my heart that even Surgeon can be a visitor, he seemed to be such a good old man
>>721133943Survival Horror is neat in concept because of the pressure it puts on you more than the monsters that attack. My genuine favourite are malware-tier games like Imscared and Kinitopet thoughever
>>721153527I dunno I got the all humans ending with him now, maybe its bugged but who fucking knows anymore
>>721154454I likely wouldn't. Either go and bunker up with my family, or count on the pale fag not taking a liking to me and simply pretend I'm not home.
I like the FEMA ending, just seeing the main character slowly lose his identity and become a faceless cog in the system
>>721154691Are you okay, Rajesh?
>>721123860Why is so much modern horror blatantly biased against lanklets?

>>721154454Fuck your teeth up, I guess
>>721154454so long as the pale fucker isnt in the neighborhood you're pretty much safe by default
the "meet death and reach the afterlife" ending has to be the most nightmarishhonestly i'm not sure if death wanted to do him a favor or if she straight up sent him to his personal hell lol
>>721114360Lying under any circumstance is against Kant's categorical imperative.
>>721154828Can't trust anybody, anon. Them's the brakes.
>>721155861Death opens dialogue with him by narrating his actions (implying that it has been the narrator for the whole game), swerves into talking about how everyone is afraid of it and how he is certainly afraid of it, then basically tells him "don't struggle and just go into that good night" despite his protests and obvious fear.I don't think at any point she cared in slightest how he felt. I don't think Death ever really NOTICED him in any real sense.

>>721162969Stop trying to force this "Look Outside vs other horror games" narrative. It's cringe.
>>721155190i think this is the ending that fits the player's experience the most. you made those decisions on the survivor, not much different than FEMA and you just ride on it not knowing what comes nextother endings (except the one where you have a visitor among survivors) are mostly boring, doesnt feel so personal. they dont make much sense either
So you think you know better than FEMA what to do with this month's Ambrosia shipment?

>>721115721it sucks that "lovecraftian" or "cosmic horror" become all about quirky eldritch god monsters, when that's like 1% of his novels and his novels are actually about men slowly going insane from curiosity, suspense and isolation.

QoL Features:Added save on quit featureManual saves no longer get deleted on game completionNow, after completing the game at least once (specifically with end credits) and starting a new walkthrough, you're able to skip the 1st day (the tutorial with the Neighbor)Fixes:Fixed an issue where phone numbers and character identities would get randomized upon reloadingFixed an issue where not all 3 cultists would enter your house.

>>721167421you're going to be one of the ones that gets torn apart
>>721139348this bitch is so hot i stopped playing after i deduced she was a visitor but she was way too hot for me to kill her
>>721168410they should just add the sex scenes with the hot prostitute
>>721114236Why can't you just kill this faggot right away? I knew he was a skinwalker and I told him I was alone so I could lure him in and shoot his shit. Didn't go as planned for whatever reason.
>>721169061because he is stronger than youdid you not look out the windows and see that he decimated a whole squad of soldiers and was holding one's head in his hand?
I'm genuinely wondering if /v/ is getting more and more stupid with every passing year.The point of the game is to have enough live people in your house before FEMA and the pale guy arrive. That's it. Of course the characters have to be randomized as to whether or not they're visitors, there wouldn't be a game otherwise. Ambiguity means you might have to take a gamble. It's not a puzzle game.
>>721168410i had it happen to me that the cultists got snatched up by FEMA literally seconds before their leader came to check on them. I'm talking the leader probably had to step out of the way on the doorway so they could go to whatever auschwitz birkenau they send people, then stepped forward and asked me if his boys (which he just saw her gestapo'd right in front of him) are okay.>>721168978>with the psychic chickFIFY
>>721166996Every fucking time the husband and wife were visitors
>>721133943I don't like horror games. i just endure the horrors of resident evil and dead space because the gameplay is so good. besides that I avoid horror games at all costs.I don't like jump scares and i don't like spooky ghosts, even if they are hot.
>>721115721this. even the original stories by lovecraft are not that good.
>>721169196The problem is that this game play loop is ass and makes no sense setting wise and amounts to nothing more than pure randomness
>>721153556I prefer the moon with a face shittypasta
>>721140760Unironically, yes
>>721134169can't even say that's a modern horror thinglike every decade there's a subgenre of horror that gets super popular for being cheap to make and successful so it gets run into the ground until it becomes unpopular and niche again
>>721155494'member slendermanwas all the rage when I was in middle school 13 years agonot sure if you can call that modern
>>721114236So if you can't weed people out before you get them in your house what's the point?
>>721165328Well this is the irony, fromsoft are better at doing Lovecraft stuff without trying than anyone who does focus explicitly on it because the nature of their approach to world building and storytelling is in fact very similar.
>>721114236This game was such a fucking letdown
blows my mind that niggers ITT are seriously complaining that it's too hard to find visitors when the real problem is it's too easy and also doesn't even have to be done for the majority of the endings since you'll never run out of people if you just let everyone in

i refunded it because of the 50/50 rng bullshit every run lol, thought it was going to be fun to learn who and who isn’t a visitor but then i read its rng dependant, what a retarded design choice
>>721181507>but then i readlol so you just looked it up and then was filtered because the guide couldn't just tell you who to kill and you got scared
I still have no ideas what FEMA's intention is.So are they like good, bad or neutral party? Joining FEMA doesn't seem to elaborate more either and it mostly just you going around burning body iirc.

>>721182267They're mostly jsut throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks against the Visitors. They aren't bad, but they're just like the player. Just on a bigger scale.
>>721185980I'm sorry you have taste so abominable that you actually like this retarded trash
>>721133943I liked Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
>>721178492>>721178846Why did you not let Daniel Larson in, you know the parentless teenager and the neighbor daughter would be in safe hands with him around
>>721182664she looks like she loves human men
>>721145540that's an 8/10 in [miscellaneous former eastern bloc shithole]
>>721147580The Sinking City?Yeah, there's a bunch of ass "Lovecraftian" games that think the literal mythos and/or tentacles are what made it good.If it uses the mythos, it's ass; if it uses its own cosmic horror, it might be ass but it at least has a chance at being interesting.It's a spoiler but I think that Sonar Shock managed to have a somewhat interesting cosmic horror twist, particularly the final sequence in the Captain ending. There's still a bunch of shit in it that's retarded and makes no sense, but it's at least a fun sendup to System Shock and has some interesting, original concepts.
>>721114360
>>721169196>It's not a puzzle gameIt'd be a better game if it was
>>721187238nice drawing
>>72118723810/10
>>721133943I think the concept of a "Sundown Town" could make for a TENSE horror game.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundown_townThink about it>It's 1930 something>You're some dorky looking Black guy from a Northern City, on your way to your Grandmother's funeral, but because of plot reasons, you have to get there via winding, almost forgotten backroads and forest paths in the Deep South>Your only guide is pic related>Have to make stops in the various "Sundown Towns" where the local white people may harass you, but also, reluctantly, do business with you>The white stores *will* upcharge you just because they can. So you're going to need to get more money to survive the trip>Sometimes to odd jobs in the safe black or "neutral" towns, maybe in the white towns, but they will be either risky, or absolutly demeaning>But beyond anything, YOU MUST LEAVE BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN. Or you will be hunted down, have unmentionable things done to you, and then strung up and left to rot in a forgotten forest. Interesting idea?

>>721160315Zombies were magically enslaves beings that you withheld salt from in order to maintain their zombieness you uncultured faggot. Try actually looking into shit past 28 days later and maybe you'll find your head up your ass.
>>721153646That's unfortunate.Before I saw a quick review of the game, talked about how visitors were "sinners" of a degree and were always about expressing the 7 capitals sins, even encouraging the player to do so (such as telling you to shoot people).Following that mindset I manage to do the demo with 0 deaths and without shooting anyone.People being randomly visits I seems bad if there is no way to tell, beyond physical appearance.
>>721187238last panel should've been him crying at home clutching a picture of (You)
Home Safety Hotline did a deduce the horror concept much better cause it had actual difficulty (outside the last segment it was kind of meh). And had good humor to cut through it enough without going full comedy (although the ending made me crack up that was amazing)
>>721155904Imposing categorical imperatives on others is against the categorical imperative.
>>721189047It should be him fixing the door
>>721189680That would work too, have the door in pieces being taped together and you see him with the same expression through the gap
>>721188185That honestly could be a fantastic theme but you really need to do it right. Kind of how Hollywood Animal handles its themes in a down to earth way.
>>721188185>Whitey Bad: The GameEvery nog the south lynched back in the day deserved it.
>>721189458The categorical imperative isn't forced on anyone, it's the natural state of things. That's like saying people are "forced" to breathe air.
>>721114236This game sucked so much ass, the demo introduced a lot of interesting plot points but literally none of them went anywhere
>>721189886I was about to say "I CAST SUMMON /pol/FAGS" but you beat me to it
>>721133943Visage
>>721127403>WHAT IF THE MONSTERS>WERE PEOPLE!Thats it.
>>721153556is that a pussy at the end? Would
>>721133943I like horror games where its more physicological and there are peroids of absolute silence, which is unsettling as all hell.Think about shit thats scary as hell in real life, like you're outside at night walking in the woods. The fear of the unknown is the greatest fear out there.
>>721133943being stalked by a faggot trying to rape you at night
>>721182664Did someone mention shitting their pants?
My reaction to this thread
Give me a Full Pits mod that completes the game. There is MISSING CONTENT.
>>721149076>in my current run he is just a regular fucked up human>breaks my immersionyeah those don't exist
You did banged her, right?
>>721154454You seem to be fine as long as one of their hyper lethal fuckers aren't about, like the pale guy who can solo take out an entire squad of dudes armed with assault rifles.
>>721187238Where does this faggot take us anyway
>>721191974Not yet, she only appeared one time so far and was a visitor thus earning herself one way trip to FEMA resort.
>>721155494The pointlessly tall are all scum and must struck down by righteous men.
>>721192285>he wouldnt fuck a visitor
>>721192285cucked.
>Jeez mister, it's fucked up you had to shoot all these people but I understand you had to defend yourself against visitors.>Visitors?
>>721114236>full game releases five days into hundreds of thousands, if not millions of "people," admitting to the world that they're not humanFunny...
>>721134334i say the opposite, because storytelling was ruined by people deciding to deconstruct it and declaring happy endings are unrealistic and therefore every story shouldn't happen. we ended up with a lot of shows, movies, and books where the ending just sucked, there was no payoff at the end.
>>721194021what
>>721194932>what happened on the tenth?
>>721190016my friend said the exact same thing and I agree, it had so much potential that just ended up being wasted
>>721190016>lot of interesting plot pointssuch as?
>>721194997towers blew up
i'm not replaying the gamewhat's with the dad's box in the closet and the nightstand and why you can't look out the bedroom window
>>721147269STOP TAKING MY GUESTS AWAY YOU FUCKER
>>721195203That's the eleventh, twenty-four years ago. I said the tenth, this year.
>hey are you alone?>uhh no>right well->are you?>what?>are you alone? I don't see anyone with you out there>yes it's just me >break down own door>grab him and drag him into the house>give him a beer and force small talk
>>721195375idk lol, i don't keep up with american news
>>721145540man that fortune teller gives me the creeps, but the line she says about cursing you with eternal diarrhea made me lol
>>721195494Okay, smartass. If you really didn't hear about it, it's one search-engine query away.
>>721114236Gen Z's obsession with doppelgangers and mimics is pretty cool. I don't mind it. Yeah, uncanny valley people who want to wear your skin is pretty spooky.But I wish they'd make decent games about it because this Roblox crowd is making nothing but trash.
>>721118940If you want to play the game, the demo is better.If you want to see the story, watch someone else play it.This was the worst transition from demo to release I've ever seen. So much wasted potential.
>>721195494i think he's vaguebooking about his boyfriend getting ACK'd
>>721195724>Gen Z's obsession with doppelgangers and mimicsI think it's due to a lot of them knowing that actual doppelgangers live among us. The hundreds of thousands who self-reported in the last week-and-a-half are only a small number compared to the total.>>721196145Found one.
>>721195375I don't stick from that neck of the woods.
>>721114236Jump scares
>>721192285Just admit you're gay
>>721124953>made by a man and his local theater actress wifeCute!
>>721196428Well he did just admit to being into homos.
>>721194021>>full game releases five days into hundreds of thousands, if not millions of "people," admitting to the world that they're not humanI'm out of the loop, what the hell are you talking about?
>>721196813>>721194997
what happens if it is i that visit the visitor
>>721196965
>>721114236time to check this game out after constant /v/ shilling
>>721197025i go to the visitor and ask them if they're alone and if they say yes then i either kill them or rape them depending on my mood
>>721196813hes schizoing out. ignore him
>>721196927oh you're talking about the charlie kirk thing, yeah it was pretty fucked up that people were just openly celebrating his death, I'm not a rightoid but you have to be a soulless husk to be cheering for the live execution of a man with a family simply for having a different opinion
>>721197318Found another Visitor.
>>721197319Woah such a stunning and brave stance...
>>721196813One of the cult messiah died so the cult is now preaching the end of the world while letting their leaders fuck everyone in the ass.
>>721197124>No, I'm not a HomeownerSnuff and rape sim version. Ship it.
>>721197636>>721197642See >>721197498
>>721197319Some gun deaths are unfortunately worth it to preserve the second amendment.
>>721197050what you don't want to watch some streamer put on terrible voices for every character and take an extra hour because of it?
>>721197765literally taking him out of context lol, why are leftoids so dishonest and vile?
>>721197765>some car accidents will happen if everyone has the right to driveAlso, >>721197498
>>721197319
>>721197892See >>721197498
>>721197835Children needed to watch a public execution
>>721197980*assassination, executions are legal processes. Also, >>721197498
>>721197319He would have supported what happened to himself so that's honoring his legacy
>>721197319You are too controversial for thé internet sire
>>721190980My problem with "psychological" is most devs don't take the time to understand psychology or what having a mental disability like autism for example is really like. It usually goes into guilt trip episodes or "mushroom sambas". Or just ripping off Silent Hill. It's become a red flag for me at this point. I swear only the Psychonauts games have actually portrayed mental problems well.
will rightoids ever shut up about charlie kirk?
>>721198092>>721198180See >>721197498
>>721198092taking him out of context again, he advocated for live executions for pedophiles and killers, but of course a pedo lefty would be offended by that and want to twist his words. man you guys are actually fucked in the head lol
>>721134095They're basically analogs of tribes that had to face starvation. A warning story that no matter how bad it gets, DON'T FUCKING EAT EACH OTHER, IT'S WRONG.
>>721198202Nope my fingers have no dirt under them, I have clear eyes, my pits have hair, and I do not have perfect teeth
>>721153752If you call the psychic and tell him about your kombucha, he freaks out and explain it basically forces you to live in a recursive memory loop. It's also why "Death" likes you so much.
>>721198278Good thing we're talking about real life now, not the art that imitates it...
>>721198180Saint Kirk has joined Saint Floyd in the pantheon of the US of America. They even share the same birthday, united in birth and death.
>>721198358Visitors aren't real lmao
>>721198369Man, the US is genuinely fucked.

>>721138974Would Kevin survive this game?
>>721198369Cute. Also, >>721197498>>721198410Then why did thousands of them feel comfortable enough to self-report?
>>721130359As it should be. Look Outside actually delivered unlike this shit.
>>721198498Because you're a manchild.

Worse than what you've seen.You: Seen *what*?>The Deserter: The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it.

Then you *know*.>You: What?The Deserter: That the bourgeois are not human.
>>721198567>self-report
>>721198498Oh neat >>721197498
>>721198180From by POV, it's not so much about Charlie Kirk (he was controlled op) as much as it is about wokesters openly wanting you dead for not bending the knee to their religion. You people are an enemy, simple as.
>>721142158>Waaah I hate having to confront uncomfortable things, waaaaah I like being closed up and lashing out at anyone that shows emotion. I'm SUCH a cool 4channer!
>>721198730the absolute irony of this post lmfao
