If that was the finished product of the whole Early Access thing then I would hate to play the work in progress. Within 15 minutes I was just walking from jumpscare to jumpscare, completely stone faced except for the odd few that got some unintentional bouts of laughter from me on account of how cheesy they were. I had it for ages but I waited until it was finished to play it. I really liked Until Dawn but I 100% agree about Layers of Fear.
it definitely nails the B horror movie vibe although I get the feeling it was a fluke. That awful writing and over reliance on bad jump scares. All that is are jump scares, although I think it succeeds despite itself. Stuff like Until Dawn is kind of awful as well.
The Japanese just knew how to do either super cheesy or genuine dread well. The culmination of which seems to be Layers of Fear which is one of the worst game I've ever played and not scary at all. I wish Japan was still pumping out horror games, the latest influx of Western indie games seem to think that jump scares are the height of horror. I've also never actually finished a Resi game as much as I love horror games so this might be the time around, I'm so bad at minding bullets and stuff. I'd love to go back to loads of games like Gregory Horror Show. I might get lucky with an English version. I really wanted to play Clocktower 2 after seeing the Retronauts stream but it's not on the PSN store like I thought and had bought a really cheap Japanese version. I'm going to go back to Siren Blood Curse and get the archive items. I think I'll put Corpse Party on my PSP instead of my vita and just give in lol. Until Dawn from what I got to play was so much fun especially with a group. I found Evil Within hard to play because I suck at duel analog but I'd love to watch someone else play. I'd love to go to Deadly Premonition, I heard PC is best and no way to play it that way, PS3 console version I think I was told to avoid it. It's quite hard, I think 4/6 games was the most I got in, just to get tasters of.
Oh and I might pick up Corpse Party on PC too I've often considered trying to do something like the "31 days of horror" people do with films bt with games.Ĭant really do it quite the same due to the time investment required for games but I'll be playing The Evil Within and Until Dawn again and maybe get some Deadly Premonition in
