So what exactly was he?
>>737302974not a human
>>737302974Harry Dresden
>>737302974There is no answer, just like there isn't an answer for like 90% of the shit in the game.The devs just took a bunch of concepts from the modern horror grab bag and threw them together. video essay-brained morons will do the legwork for you. If anyone levies any criticism your way they will just get the same 5 minute lecture about how the fear of the unknown is scarier than anything you could come up with.
>>737303347yes, when you explain what the monster is, it's just science fiction, not horror
>>737302974
>>737303401is this pale faggot human?
>>737303386That's a horrible copout used by hacky internet horror connoisseurs.
>>737303485https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Judge_Holden
>>737303548Whats the thing?
>>737303609He's a low-mid tier tank in Marvel Rivals
>>737303386lmao if you actually think there was any setup or thought that went into the world building for this game you're actually braindead
>>737302974>easily kills group of soldiers>still asks for permission for him to come in and horrifically kill youhe doesn't make sense
>>737303576Holy shit he sounds epic as hell.. they should make creepypasta of him
>>737303347Skinwalkers come out of the ground and replace people, how much more setup do you need? You lorefaggots that need a whole silmarillion for your indie game monster people are insufferable.
>>737303792None of the game makes any sense, it's really badly written
>>737303729It's the only way we like it. >too low, >it is a pain to play, and everyone screeches you to switch>too high>feels like your victories are not earned. >Mid-high>everyone plays it
>>737303835>Skinwalkersumm actually they are vampires
>>737302974Apyr
>>737302974the initial premise was great and super spooky, but fuck everything else
>>737302974a gameplay element turned into narrative device
>>737303792Hes just a science fiction vampire. They need permission to enter your abode too.
How was the actual game? The demo was an interesting premise but it didn’t seem there would be enough gameplay to justify an entire game
>>737304256That's a general rule to supernatural beings. Ghost hunters also cast rules/permissions for ghosts to not curse or follow them/leave that place, if that works or not I don't know. No idea why it became famous with vampires though.
>>737303792He was ordered to only break in if someone was alone or an idiot is stupid enough to answer 'yes' to his question.
>>737304914It's the classical metaphor for evil/temptation always entering when invited. Everything anyone knows about vampires comes from books and movies anyway, this game is probably the only example I can think of that references actual folk vampires as corpses that come out of the ground to eat people.
>>737304256>needs permission to enter>will also enter and kill you anyway if you're alone, ignoring if he has permission or not
some faggot Youtuber will surely schizout a lore video to monopolize the untapped children views
>>737302974He's based on literally me, going around my apartment complex at 3am and harassing female tenants
>>737303347>video essay-brained morons will do the legwork for youNailed it.
>>737305482Too true. The invitation thing only works on consecrated grounds or similar blessed places in the actual folklore and Vampires were just part of the umbrella of Evil stuff.
>>737305589You were asking for it you slut
>>737302974>So what exactly was he?Erika Ishii in disuise of course.
>>737306551this is her final form btw
>>737302974I'm 6'4" and this is what my body unironically looks like
>>737308294based
>>737302974probably one of the first awaken.they all seem to reference some sort of maternal queen and obey her orders.
isn't he literally in the game?
Me, That's how I see myself
>>737302974Visitors are dead people reanimated by Death to go out and kill others.Why can't he enter if there's other humans or if you let him in? Because all the Visitors have different approaches to how they kill and in his case it's playing on the Player Character's unspoken desire to die. As long as the PC is fighting Death and denying it, The Intruder won't kill him. If the PC fucks up by having no humans or implicitly invites him in then The Intruder will follow through.
I'm surprised no one has photoshopped that into Laura Loomer yet.
>>737303548No? The best example I can think of is how the Walrider in Outlast lost all its fear factor once the game threw a shitty pseudo-scientific explanation of what it was at you. The inability to be understood is literally a core aspect of monsters. If you understand it, it's not a monster.
>>737302974He's ultimately not important. He's just the messenger of inevitable death. He speeds it along sometimes but he admits himself he's just a lackey for death. Death seems like a sapient force but ultimately does not matter for it simply is. It may just be the main character is suicidal and personifies death, the whole event may just be the main character having a suicidal spiral due to loneliness and isolation, fearing others as being vampires. The choice to randomize all the characters just fucked the whole thing for intrigue or lore. Having so much hinge on just being "lmao post Soviet depression" hurt it too.
>>737302974Ruined by the decision to pin his agency on some unknown master
>>737311447Im pretty sure the player character is a visitor themselves and are either partially immune or partially possessed by one and killing another visito is against the rules or they have been told by the main controller to treat the player special as he is a unique visitor. The ballerina visitor heavily implies this by saying the player is their favorite/likes them so much. unless thats like a translation error and shes refering to herself in the 3rd person or something.
>>737313379I supposed it could also imply that they are a hive mind of some sort of the ballerina was friends with some woman who loved the player and is just referencing that to herself in her own private knowledge.
>>737313379>killing another visito is against the rulesBesides all the Visitors you can kill and the multiple times they kill you
What is this guy?
>>737305589its a russian thing
>>737314269He looked outside.
>>737314269He's chill
>>737306639If I didn't know better I'd think this was a drag queen.
Open the fucking door!
>>737302974>>737303347All the visitors and shit are an allegory for the MC getting over his traumas. Some can coexist but others he has to actually deal with or they will kill him.
>>737314269What's this one?
>>737313876they dont kill you.you kill them either in your human form or your vistitor form.youre allowed to do this because youre special.
>>737302974The roach dude from MiB
>>737316650>they dont kill you.The Bad End has the visitors you rescue tear you apart just days before the whole situation blows over. Not only do they kill you but they deliberately wait it out and make it increasingly uncomfortable before torturing you to death on the verge of survival.
>>737315417>who are you?
>>737317279I assume because they go rogue/berserk due to the hive brain being dead/asleep, which ends the rest of the situation.
>>737305352>orderedfrom whom?
>>737303347Fuck me this pisses me off so much about modern horrorIt’s not that they’re "not explaining the monster" (though this advice itself is overused), it’s that they’re not even bothering to tell a coherent story anymore and then they act like you’re the autistic deeplorefag (nevermind the fact that they’re dropping five hour long video essays just like deeplorefags do) because you have the audacity to expect the slightest sliver of verisimilitude (to use their own fart sniffing language against them)If the fucking Sun starts exploding in your story, that can’t be an lolsorandom side quest, that better be one of the main fucking story points of the story that goes SOMEWHERE, even if it’s never explained why the Sun’s exploding
>>737318438The cat
>>737318957the cat could even be the leader.
>>737302974a titan
>>737318871Iron Lung is popular because they never explained shit.The mystery is what keeps the hype
>>737302974an intruder, duh
>>737319753Iron Lung was popular because youtube man played it
>>737303187I speedran the whole series last year (haven't read the new one yet), 9/10 misery porn
>>737306639WOULD
>>737302974Harry Dresden motherfucker
what I dont get is if a visitor is in your house and they kill a human, are they lying to your face the next day? or is it a sleep walking thing?
>>737303792he's playing with you, if I he actually wanted to, he would enter any moment he felt like
>>737319186
>>737323952They're lying. Some of them, like the fat woman who talks about having lots of kids, is always a Visitor and she drops any pretenses of being human if you decide to kill her.
>>737311447This.
>>737303347Genuinely based response.
>>737323990>if I he actually wanted tolmao nah you're just a bitchboy and I'm not letting you in my house.
>>737302974an average Russian
>>737303401>>737303576>Mastery of dancingwhat the fuck
>>737318053I'M HARRY FUCKING POTTER uh I mean Dresden
>>737303347>if a game leaves anything up to interpretation rather then spell everything out every 15 minutes like an episode of stranger things then its badkill yourself retard
>>737302974>>737303347It's a modern take on vampires you stupid fuck
>>737302974>tfw i have a similar body structure to this picbros do you think i should hit the gym more often
>>737302974A chud
>>737318871>SignalisEh, it was a given for that game since it was obviously partly inspired by Evangelion which was a whole lot of "i'll just make shit up and use words that sound cool."
>>737318438He never says.
