Lowkey I was waiting to be on one of these 💀💀💀
I do wholeheartedly agree with your points on Hunting Season. Unfortunately I have had a bad break with the horror genre and find myself struggling to find something that hasn't been done to death within it. Adding an R2DA-like progression system was definitely not the way to go to the point where it almost feels more like an action game than a "horror".
Unfortunately I ended up distancing myself from the genre for this reason, I never want to just copy a concept, always put a twist on it. With horror I find it very difficult to do just that.
Idk if this is a good take or not but I feel like to help with replaying is to add some like the mastermind or whatever he is called from Left for dead
I can assure you that Hunting Season 2021 and HSR both had many elements that were unique enough to catch my eye. I enjoyed the monster designs and I was able to admire the effort that was put forth (as well as the funny ads). Even though it might not have been a hit with most Roblox players, I always had a soft spot for it.
I can relate a lot with wanting to exercise your own creativity with your work. I've seen several youtubers who've grown faster than me because they played blox fruits or spammed youtube shorts. At the end of the day, I opted to keep covering niche roblox games in long form content, accepting the slow and steady growth over the years despite what the current youtube 'meta' appears to be.
Ultimately, I wish you luck with your new endeavors, and I hope that in the future your efforts will get you the recognition that you deserve.
i am so god damn excited for boss blitz its not even funny
@sillybilly-xh6upyall don't deserve it
Damn i was a huge fan of the original HS, i had soo many hours and nightcrawlers, kinda sad it died
It's either fetch quest, chore simulator, or maze insanity with all of these
Bitch you described all 3 genres of horror games in general.
I can name you a handful of horror games that are not that
@@Miriel420like? (not trying to be toxic)
@@Miriel420 Of course not all Roblox horror games are like this, but if I didn't say this feels like the overwhelming majority...then I would have NO idea. I've played way too many of them and most come to be like this sadly. Of course, there are some really good ones though. They usually aren't the popular ones by any means however.
If you don't mean Roblox at all though, then yeah. It's my favorite genre. Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 2. All that.
@@startron252I ain’t readin allat
I’d like to add an annoying recurring feature, horror games that are way too dark and don’t give you a sufficient light source so you can’t even properly navigate the area. Sometimes, like with The Rake, this is a conscious decision to add challenge and character, while most of the time it’s just how the game turns out
tbh that seems to be the case with most small indie horror games
its either the most chinese build quality flashlight or a gas powered gussler truck for batteries
Tbh it’s so the rake sneaks up behind you the physics for it is wild because it’s coded to know where you are but approach slowly and to the nearest player instead of an injured player which is cool but also still scary because it goes into sneak mode when nearby a player so the rake sneaks behind the player without any sound of sniffing
Yeah, i played chains once, and i couldn’t see wack, i died because i was LOOKING DOWN, and the flashlight didn’t even illuminate the floor.
With Repleh County Archives, i spent over 10 minutes trying to understand the objective when the lights goes off, more 20 minutes searching for a object thinking the objective was to go to a certain part or item, and another 30 minutes cooking myself some food while i kept the game running on my phone thinking i had to wait some time standing still. After literally one hour of loud noises, unnescessary darkness and a completely unclear objective (It tell me effectively nothing) i quitted the game and instead went to youtube watch a full no commentary playthrough. Probably my worst horror game experience i ever had.
I didn't except Repleh County Archives to be so boring, i mean, it was made by the same people who made A Stereotypical Obby, which i had enjoyed a lot.
"Okay, so, pick up the flashlight."
"Good, now go into the dark room."
"Okay now get out of the room, there's a monster with red glowing eyes inside it."
"Okay, the monster is chasing you. Go into the locker."
"Okay, the monster stopped chasing you. Find the red key."
"Okay, now open the basement door and navigate the maze."
"Okay, find the orange key in the maze."
"Okay. You escaped. Good ending."
And stretch it for 30 minutes
YUP
This is just every horror game ever
"Oh wait, you didn't do this hyper specific thing that isn't even remotely hinted at anywhere in or around the game, you got an extremely unsatisfying bad ending that leaves an extremely sour taste in your mouth"
"Okay, you did something slightly different, now play through the entire game again"
"Yes, you really had to do _one single thing_ for the good ending and nothing remotely changed throughout the rest of the playthrough, the bad ending might as well not even exist"
"Okay, you escaped with the CEO's Cousin's Niece's Daughter and got 5 million dollars. this ending is somehow even less satisfying than the bad one. have a badge that inexplicably has the impossible rarity"
The only thing I really hate about about Roblox horror games is how they show no mercy towards your ears
Gaming with Tomomi moment
Same for Minecraft "horror" mods that have become popular thanks to Cave Dweller. Loud screaming + An oogeyboogey that one shots the player does not equal scary.
Me personally I like when horror games have “loud” sound effects. It adds to the horror factor imo
Sadly the reason why many of these criticisms will never go away is because Roblox actively discourages it. If you have a good horror game without these criticisms listed there will be a high chance it won’t be popular. Also as long as kids are there to consume some of these bad games they will never leave.
Ik it feels like roblox is against good games, but I am not sure they directly said it..
I noticed there is a huge downside when it comes to making horror roblox games is the lack of replayability . Most horror games are often story driven meaning that once someone completes the game, they are less likely to spend more time on it. This why most games often die quickly when there is no update for weeks or so. For devs who wants to make profit off this genre, there is no way to continue other than dragging out the game with more chapters or produce more games. This often results in the game or its genre becoming stale and oversaturated.
The other side of this coin (i believe) is Minus Elevation, a horror roguelike where your goal is to go down as many floors as possible. There's no story (so far, campaign mode isn't out)
butinstead has lots of replayability.
Yep horror games have always had poor replayability. You play it for 3 hours and then never really play it again
There is horror games that are not story driven, but they're usually bad
@@R9naldo check out isle
Doors is very replayable
I honestly like physiological horror, which doesn't rely on jumpscares but rather on the psychosis of the characters, and how trauma can affect their view of life. Games that are dark in the sense of story, no jumpscares (loud ones), maybe it's because I find it interesting learning about how the actions/traumas can affect a person's life forever.
Even if it may seem minimal it will have an effect on the individual. Jumpscares can make the game fun/scary for a minute but it will not really stick with you, it will not make you think about the characters it is just there for the spooks.
too bad drooling fetuses on their moms iphone dominate the platform so there is no incentive to make one because
1Its not that profitable
2 no way in fucking hell will kids understand the message behind those games ever
A Roblox game called Jim's computer is a horror psychology game
@@thex5899 thats just one example of a good psychological horror game in a bloated sea of garbage
genre-redefining, trope-subverting, atmospheric, dark and eerie, emotionally draining, gut wrenching, aesthetically heavy craft by post-horror auteur with an arthouse edge, dread-inducing, suspenseful build up with strong character development and gradual feeling of escalation, bone-chilling slow burn with “say more with less” approach and soul-shaking, blood-curdling, skin-crawling and nerve-wracking exercise in persistently looming dread where tension and anxiety permeates every frame as the game reaches its nail-biting, jaw-clenching and paranoia-inducing final climax, free of any cheap gore, cartoonish CGI or infantile jumpscares lego horror game, please.
@@thex5899 Yeah, I have played it, it's really good even though I haven't finished it
I’d classify Guts & Blackpowder as more if a spooky game than a true horror game, as I don’t think it aims to actually scare the player
It's more like a spooky survival one lol

The scariest part of the game is trying to rely on teammates
Scariest part of G&B is trying to kill 2 runners at once.
It sad that the only games that are actually good are usually short experiences or have been completely forgotten. I feel like the only games that actual tried to be somewhat good are Mimic and Doors. And while I mostly don’t find these games to be scary, they at least tried to be somewhat enjoyable and not insanely difficult.
Doors is the only roblox horror game that I enjoyed and was scared
@@TJ-hg6op Doors becomes dogwater after you get to door 50 💀
@@ibunyn Sounds like a skill issue to me
@@TJ-hg6op its way too repetitive & the monsters look goofy as fuck honestly 😭
I never got scared of it. The only age that can scare you really is if your under 13 or a family friendly youtuber
@@ibunyn I feel all that is more subjective than an actual critique. It is far less repetitive than the other garbage you see on this platform, and by scared I don’t mean jumping up screaming and crying, I mean actually worrying about if I make it to the end. And the stuff looking goofy, its a roblox horror game what are you expecting.
I’m a small dev currently working on a horror game this criticism will help a lot with making my game better
Glad to be here for u
@@Breadian also I just made a trailer on my channel it’s a really early trailer tho and it’s kinda ugly but the game is already being improved
hope it goes well for you
i actually had (what I think is) a pretty good idea for a horror game, and i just wanted it to share it here
so it goes like this: you take a game that basically almost everyone has played (prison life, natural disaster survival, survive the disasters, etc.) but make little changes that will really only be obvious and/or visible to long time players of that game (or Roblox in general) and that if you follow these changes eventually the game ends up twisting so much it essentially becomes a whole other game but idk maybe this is a pretty bad idea
@@abner24head sounds good it’ll probably end up being one of those masterpieces that just flops but in my opinion go for it
When I think of this channel, I think of metal pipe sound effect, foghorn, and resident evil for some reason.
as you should
@@Breadiani also think of old roblox zombie games and the thug shaker
the "annoying sounds'' on the mine horror game and possibly CHAINS is taking inspiration of puppet combo's style of horror games, namely VHS horror which is known to be loud, and part of what makes it scary
I think the reason they don’t work as well in roblox is because of the game’s art style. Puppet Combo already has this strange ps1-esque design that already makes it feel strange and alien, allowing the loud noises to actual scare more than annoy. Don’t think it does the same well in this roblox games
@@Scruffy-qi3ik while CHAINS really only takes the fast and loud chase mechanic from puppet combo, the murder mine game fully commits to imitating puppet combo and does it pretty well
It also doesn't help that a good amount of mediocre roblox horror games stick you in a either a generic cave or some dark building with the worst flashlight mankind has ever produced
and then the "get a better flashlight" gamepass comes in
Say what you will about older Roblox games like Area 51 or The Scary Elevator.
At least those games are far more enjoyable than most modern Roblox Horror games that are out there.
fr its dumb fun
I cannot fathom to express how much I disagree with this
@@3clisp315?
I love survive and kill the killers in area 51 !!! it's fun
I'd have to disagree, the reason you'd think they are more enjoyable is because you look back at them remembering all the things that were at least entertaining about them. But when you actually play them you realize they were always boring.
Sure there's those dumb fun moments but standing in an elevator waiting for the same few floors to play and continuously throwing yourself into a death pit to die to the same monster over and over again gets boring fast.
The majority of roblox horror games are mid and I can agree that playing the classic trash every once in a while is a fun time, but lets not forget why time forgot those games in the first place
I think Doors is kind of an outlier here, as, from what I can understand, only has 2 problems that are not related to any points you made in this video.
Padding definitely isn’t too big of an issue, as the padded portions of the game are either fun (Seek, Dupes, Figure when you first see him, Halt) or are just looking for a key or a switch. The only issue I have with padding is near the end of the game where it’s a fetch quest followed by a puzzle which is annoying as hell.
It has some creative standpoints, like the paintings on the walls, the layout of the rooms, among other things.
The biggest issues however boil down ta two things. Repetitiveness (which is just the norm at this point) and popularity (a new one I know).
While I enjoyed Doors a lot, the one thing that doesn’t make me go back all that much is with how popular it is, and, if I go praising it, I might get called a nine year old or something, which is ridiculous. I have to hide in the shadows and just not talk about it unless it’s with friends to not get insulted (which I can take, I’m just annoyed at the fact that people would call me a nine year old over a game I enjoyed playing and got scared by)
Imo its funny how it took them 9 months to make figure run down the stairs instead of doing useless parkour and adding 3 useless items
@@ulgrineh1 parkour? Since when was there Parkour in Doors? Last time I checked, you can’t even jump
@@cyrix6165 im talking about figure cutscene in last room pre revamp :/
@@ulgrineh1 ah
@@ulgrineh1dude that was apart of an update that completely changed the game of course they would make it a little harder😂
A reason that this felt so real for me is just I used to play this horror game that I absolutely loved because it was creative unique and had amazing visuals. It did not get banned, but it is so hard to find that I have given up I broke the device that I used to play with that horror game and I cannot find it anymore and it is so annoying because every time I look for it I find something that reminds me of it but it’s just so far of(the game)
can you describe the game?
@@infinitepixal kinda but it would be useless
I totally agree with your points in this video, nowadays roblox horror games can be incredibly frustrating because of the issues you highlighted. Like gosh, the inflated playtime and padding, mazes, and annoying sounds can really take away from the experience and make it feel like a chore rather than just a "fun" horror game. The painful grind is something many players can relate to, thanks for highlighting the issue about the copy-paste repetitive horror games on roblox.
On a positive note, I'd love to see you make a video about the "good" horror games on roblox if you're up for it. It would be great to explore the flip side and discover some hidden "gems" in the horror genre community yk. Keep up the good work!!
honestly i think another part of it is that a lot of serious for-the-love-of-it game devs are leaving the platform for one reason or another. for me (newbie dev), although im more acclimated to scripting in roblox since i practically grew up on it, theres been quite a few updates/announcements that have kinda steered me away from continuing. one such example (which was the real nail in the coffin for me) is the whole 'experiences using marketplace items' planned policy update, which wouldve most likely nuked literal Millions of games for what basically amounts to a worse version of copyright for avatar items being harmlessly equipped ingame. (massive oversimplification but you get the gist.) thankfully the sheer amount of backlash that it got on devforums caused the update to be """"paused"""" (the actual word they used), but i think its another case of corporate execs being way out of touch and will probably present itself again, so im jumping ship before it sinks and i think that could be why a bunch of others are too. anyway sorry for the mini-rant, just my two cents on the whole thing
Roblox did not remove these updates because they were sorry. They did it cause they got caught Roblox has proved time and time again that they do not care. Its honestly pretty hard to defend then for what they have done. people and content creators i have seen believe if we just sit like Ducks Roblox will remove their awful update
No Its Not
After thinking a bit, I kinda wish for the policy update to happen. Now I understand the problem you have with it, the problem being that it would doom millions of games from the old times to even games made today. However, one thing that it would achive is slow down development of games. This would significantly lower the amount of copy paste games, and force them to spend more time model and script items and other such things, which would give chance for quality games to maybe reach the front page
@@weirdguylol Yeah I get Roblox will not be a perfect company. But when there are so many bad people and content out there you need to actually step in.
I never liked those type of "horror" games on roblox where you have to pay robux to continue or you go back to the beggining, its like a plague that started back in 2019 with Camping. i know there are some exceptions because they're well made, but most of them are 70% long dialogues or mazes with locked doors and monsters. It's stupid.
long dialogues can be used to build up for later parts but man is it hard to do it on a roblox game
I want a horror game where you can use the environment to your disposal. Like most horror games don’t allow you to jump. I just want a horror game where you can jump on top of or climb on anything for survival. Or attempt climbing trees by challenging your self by spamming a button to get up something like that. The survival might be more interesting when you make horror games that way. I also enjoy me some “open zone” horror games too like Don’t Scream which is not a Roblox game but these games are doing well for their ability to gave players more to interact with and secrets to uncover. Just expand upon this more and you got me more hooked!
I have been working on a horror game that actually allows you to jump! Still attempting to come up with new gameplay mechanics that can make the game more fun to play
Try playing isle. This perfectly fits your comment. Great horror game maybe even the best
Tbh, I don't usually mind the way Horror games are made. As a horror enjoyer, I often have fun with most horror games I play. Four notable favorites being Doors, The Intruder, Lightbulb, and It Lurks.

Currently i have seen someone attempting to recreate the game called "Before the dawn:Redux" on a more scale of memes and minecraft themed which is called Survive the Minecraft. I'd say that they fixed many problem the original game had and actually make it fun and unique to play on. I suggest you should give it a try since you have already covered on about Survive the night
What I also don't like about Roblox horror games is that some of them are literally just 1-1 copies of already existing indie horror games, like The Survey, FAITH, Anatomy, etc., further proving that there's barely any creativity in the horror genre and also takes away the attention from the original games cause why bother playing the original and supporting indie horror games when you can just play a remake of it on Roblox.
If you want a good roblox horror game, I’d recommend A Stereotypical Obby and All Over Me. Both, for me at least, are very ominous and disturbing in some aspects. Even if they don’t scare you completely they are very suspenseful which I like.
I'm not gonna lie, if it was meant to be a one time experience, most of it would be acceptable if it was used to it's advantage (like how phasmophobia forces you to go in and do something instead of sit in a corner and win) but if its done poorly, or if youve gotta keep doing the same crap over and over, thats when it atarts to suck.

Doors Is a pretty good game, especially with the entities/monsters and how you must avoid them. With some Items to help you along the way whether It be the Pills Flashlight Lockpick, cross, Lighter, candle. So It makes me wonder What Doors 2 will have In store for Us.
But the other "Horror" games shown here, aren't really horror. While they might have effort they clearly don't have much Interest to pull you In.
Amazing review of all these games. The only real problem is that these problems are present in a lot of games, i'm not trying to make it seem like it's less of a problem btw.
yeah, there's a lot of this in horror games. I want to make horror games, but they're probably not gonna be that great, one of my ideas is just waiting and anticipating something bad, but the idea of it is to look around as you wait. But the waiting thing was still an issue, I don't want the experience to be too short, but I don't want it to drag on too long, and then there's another one I'm working on, which is literally just a piggy clone that I made for fun, it's not supposed to be too long but people might not be able to find the tools they need in the forest or they might get killed, making them have to replay the intro where you just walk to one place and are introduced to the monster.
If someone hated them, as long as they didn't give reasons that were untrue, like it was made just for profit, when it's not and I have no idea what I'm doing. Mostly just saying it's all for profit.
All Roblox horror games have one thing in common
P2W
can't deined that, all true
*PIGGY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT:*
@@skrappothemonster1436piggy isn’t really a horror game even though considered a horror game.
doors
@@ondarkform Doors also has a revive feature for robux, pay to win to be exact.
Fear street camp nightwing is the worst of the worst, padded with unnecessary jumpscares, including a jumpscare in the first 4 seconds of actionable gameplay, a maze segment with unscary monsters and maybe a constant sound effect but I don't really remember, and as indicated I don't remember anything but the first jumpscare and there was a maze
I find that Doors is one of the better modern Roblox horror games. No boring fetch quests or annoying mazes. Every time you die, the game tells you how to avoid it the next time. This keeps players from dying to the same thing over and over again and prevents frustration. The core gameplay loop doesn’t last for too long and isn’t too easy or hard. It’s perfect for multiplayer, and there’s plenty of extra stuff to do once you’ve beaten the game.
Doors probably is one of the few horror games out there that I'm actually fine with. It became massively popular, but honestly it's a Nice game. A simple game to go through, run with some friends, and then leave. Nothing more, nothing less. However, I still waiting for the next god dang floor ;-;
Seeing all the old 2016 horror games really took me back man. Another good one was Before The Dawn. Still miss it everyday seems like.
In the slim chance of you (Breadian, the video poster) reading this, would really love to hear your thoughts about Dummies VS Noobs. In no way is it a horror game as it is a military wave-based survival shooter, but its literally my go-to game everytime I open Roblox for that fun ass replayability
I hope horror doesn't go down the same path as the obby genre. of the same cheap slop thrown out to entertain children with the same boring obstacle asset packs re-used. and in some cases entire obby games re-used(im lookin at you escape barry prison obby) faithless and guts and blackpowder give me some slight hope that this wont happen but only time will tell. i hope to never see the horror equivalent of "squid game mirror obby beat game to get admin!"
i personally hate how most roblox horror games rely on jumpscares instead of atmosphere to be scary. Not that jumpscares are _bad_, but they defenitely feel like a cheap way to startle you with little effort
have you ever seen apeirophobia? its honestly like my first or second fav roblox horror game, but after the second chapter released, i dont really know what to say. i think it would be pretty awesome if you did a video on the game, whether positive or negative, because it kind of fits your channel formula, as well as the fact its an interesting game.
I apprieciate how honest you are. Subbed
Hey, may I recommend a game to check out, it's called 'Limbobbia' it's a short yet fun (puzzle? Not really)-exploration, comedy game.
I believe it has some inspirations to LSD dream emulator (as it literally has some music from it in the game)

I want to reccomend a game, Phighting! I've been playing it a TON and the fandom is fun, I think the gameplay is extremely smooth and fun, and i'd love to see your perspective on it. Sadly, the Phestival(big pick-a-team splatfest type event) ends today, but i'm sure you'd love it.
You should cover fnaf horror games like forgotten memories and pizza party, I find them to be well made (mainly forgotten memories)
Breadian depression arc is back in full swing boys.
When playing hunting season rebirth for the first time and dying a bunch I couldn't help but feel it wasn't as fun although I couldn't put my finger on it yet. There's just this lack of excitement being generated for me playing it, that there wasn't in the original, thank you for putting that finger on the games problems. Hoping soda thief studios boss blitz remake is good. Boss battle games are an endangered breed, us boss battle fans be suffering fr.
I cannot imagine actively making such trash copy paste games that take like 3 hours to make at most and then getting mad when people dare criticize you for it and try to make yourself out to be someone whos too good for criticism. The cycle continues even when we don't want it to. Praying that eventually the kids finally wake up and stop playing such trash.
I want to find a horror game that actually genuinely scares me. Something that's abstract, something that is littered with secrets and has a great visual style. Perhaps a bait and switch horror game that actually pulls off the façade part extremely well, with it actually being a surprise that you can see coming but may brush aside. I want to see games that strive to attack your mind in unique ways. I'm sick of the bar being so low.

Hey great video. While I don’t play many horror games on ROBLOX anymore because when I played them I just never found them to be any good for the most part. I’m wondering if there’s a chance that you take requests for games/reviews. I understand if you do not. However I was wondering your opinions on decaying winter. I understand that the game has some traction and if not for a full video a response on the comment would be nice. I believe it to be a great game however as I have been watching your content recently I am wondering your take on the game. Thank you.
They know that quality projects fail why mediocre games succeed. But why can't they just make a trailer on CZcams before it's release?
Sadly this dosent help me that much since im 65% guilty of putting dark maze and spoopy monsters.
Roblox horror games are pure cinema. A golden rose in the dead wheat. An unforggetble experience for those looking for a thrill. An evolution for human entertainment. Well worth for your time to play thes jaw-dropping masterpieces.
Thank you for making a video on this topic man I have felt the same for a long time
Breadian never fails to rail me from behind with all these goated videos
roblox horror games try not to be the same objective of collecting things scary thing chases you collect more things in a maze repeat
And people like to give you three lives, make the monster twice as fast as you, short stamina bar, and at least 99 robux to revive and oh, you can't spectate the people alive still and they gotta throw in loud music or monster sounds that hurt your ears at 1 volume
No wonder why Horror genre is the most repetitive genre. It's not only happened on most horror game in Roblox, but also in most movies nowadays. Like most horror games in Roblox, most horror movies are just cheap jumpscare and gore. This reasons is also why most horror movies got bad score, despite still being liked by public audience.
chain is just the devs saw sawrunner in cry of fear and they were like: “Hmm yes, let’s take these well spaced and well thought out chase sequences and turn it into a whole game.”
Guts and blackpoweder is not so bad,Rather in the past I played it when it was not known and it was good until the game started to get attention. From my point of view, I think that when games receive too much attention, the creators just want to exploit them and since (the majority) are young creators - 20 years old, they think that exploiting them will last them.
been loving the recent hate arc
😂😂
Honestly, my fav horror game is identity fraud by long, it just was so good and even it got me into learning morse code and trying out more games similar to it. There is this one game that no one knows about called ¨Floor 1¨, nowadays I'm pretty sure it's discontinued but it had a whole community of people trying to beat the game, each floor you had to solve a different code/puzzle, in floor 2 you had to solve morse code, I think in floor 3 it was rot-12. Furthest I got is floor 4 (Last floor I think), there is also Floor 0 and ¨The void¨, if you have any questions about the game ask me lol, I'm up to replay it too
Someone that played / plays Floor 1? Rare. I only met a few people that played (and plays only a few times nowdays) a lot before, also im friends with one of them and on two discord servers related to the game (one fan-made and the other one official), however there is another game that is similar to Floor 1 and it's very good, but not on the simplicity vibe like Floor 1, it's more something of it's own, the game is called The House (Alpha) and can be only found if you search the group that made it: Wisdom of Theory.
i hate these types of games, especially the maze ones. they became so repetitive that it's straight up boring to play if all you are going to do is search for something while the generic tall pale bloody and black-long-haired creature is chasing you
hot take: the mimic is a good horror game. Sure, it has the repetitive mazes on book 1 but they still didnt checked most of the points breandian had made about, and it doesnt always make insanely loud noises. Despite gameplay or scariness, they actually put effort into their latest works, such as that npc guy in the lastest chapter, because i swear he looked wayyy to real for a roblox game
Edit: there's a reason why it's a hot take
Never do hot takes again. An npc that looks like a giant living testicle ≠ good horror game.
@@Ejwiwueueiwwjdthe mimic is peak
@@realestsienna u cant just say its peak without giving reasons as to why it is, so elaborate
@@Ejwiwueueiwwjd I like mimic, but it indeed, had a fetch quest in their, and a smaller maze section in the front part of the game, they have a lot fetch quests not going to lie, the game is long and a bit annoying to play. its a lot of fetch quests and puzzles, but i have no idea about the unnecessary padding.
@@DrFeho summarize ur point
Chain is well made, good animations and very good graphics and gore, the main problem being that you can’t see a thing and the objective is so unclear
Survival mode is way better then Chapter 1 tbh like chapter 1 Is annoying as fuck and you can’t outrun the chainsaw dude
Hey, I wanted to recommend for you to play probably one of the best Roblox horror games in existence, due to most of them being garbage, ultimately it is based on IMSCARED at least the art style, it is called Reflection, and even if you think roblox horror is all mid, do please try it out. Unsure if you'll like it, but it's really good in my opinion.
i once played a horror game with a friend that claimed to be the "scariest game on roblox" and guess what
didnt even get scared one time
There are VERY FEW games on Roblox that have genuine quality, such as Doors and Apeirophobia, but both of those aren't original, and are highly inspired. It's a shame that most games have devolved this far.
Of course, both of those are simple and easy to understand, and I don't think anyone really struggles with either.
Try a game called "isle"
There's no such thing as an "original game", or piece of art in general. Every creation borrows from something that has existed prior to it; what distinguishes a quality game from a bad one is if it uses those foundations well. Doors and Apeirophobia definitely succeeded in that regard.
@@beautyholic5592Yeah, doors is inspired by rooms and spooky’s jumpscare mansion, but makes sure to make itself unique with a different design, different quirks, and a ton of stuff. There is are far too many ripoff horror games on roblox, but don’t lump doors with those because it shows genuine effort to be original.
Dont forget 'The mimic'
You know its bad when gmod horror maps look way better in comparison
the rake remastered suffers on the painful grind as well, theres a leaderboard as well which makes ppl play the game a lot
Oh my god the background video not only show how bad the death-repeat cycle is in roblox horror games, but the game just straight up tries to get you to buy ‘silent footsteps’ every 1 minute…
I’ve been thinking of making a horror game myself that skirts away from the traditional story-centric horror.
It’s a multiplayer game where you have to do like certain objectives in order to win depending on the map you’re playing.
Players are equipped with a standard flashlight at the start of each match which has an infinite battery and is the only item to do so even though it still has a cooldown and there are other kinds of flashlights all of which have limited uses players can pick up around the map they’re playing on (item spawns and locations are randomized though).
Players could either get cameras which only has 3 uses and stuns monsters temporarily, thermal vision goggles to be able to locate monsters through walls at the cost of tunnel vision with the battery slowly draining over time as you use it, and uv flashlights that can reveal clues or hidden passages around the map like secret tunnels and chalk drawings which also drains its battery over time through use.
To counter this, there are a wide array of monsters each with their own strengths and weaknesses. One that is blind but is immune to the camera flash and stun, one that is invisible to the thermal goggles and is an ambush predator, and one that can change the chalk messages and secret passageways to lead players into a trap.
So in a nutshell, you will make a generic survival horror game
@@justuraverageplayer_i havent seen games doih the "trap monster" thing very often
@@elchuchooofin3807I forgot the name but I believe it's named survive the night (?) where all of these said features are present in some way or another
@@justuraverageplayer_ Well, I really wanna focus more on the gameplay aspect with the horror as a major element instead of having horror be its whole identity. I aim to have this game be both engaging and scary, in which case if I fail to scare the audience then I could at least have them get engaged in the gameplay loop.
Sounds neat
I'm surprised Doors managed to be better than these kinds of games.
For me at least.
i actually made a dev forum post about this a couple of months ago called guide to making better horror experiences.
link?
Attempt 1 of asking bredian to review decaying winter
I personally don't consider Guts & Blackpowder to be horror game, otherwise good video
Hmmm
Is it legal to call G&B a thriller?
Guts & Blackpowder isn't really a horror game tho? Its actually a really fun game imo
I also have ptsd of barrels now
Idk why everyone complains about residence massacre, the game has a long day segment that isn’t even that long, it’s probably designed to make sure people playing alone have enough time to prepare, but everyone is playing multiplayer even though the game is best in singleplayer
Yo breadian pls check out demise of eden, its a recreation of left 4 dead versus mode where its actuslly balanced since you can pick your infected type and its also themed around decaying winter
pls talk abt a good horror game 🙏🙏 (esp conundrums challenge)
Someone needs to make a horror game that pokes fun at these really bad horror game.
A horror game parody putting all the cliches of other boring horror games but polished making it a good game.
I think someone made one that was kinda a parody of games like the mimic
The mimic is honestly incredible, one of the best roblox games of all time
The majority 'consumable bad' types of Roblox games started to come out after Camping (yeah that one), which basically became the only type of horror game you'd see most of the time on Roblox
It started with "oh I'm going to disguise a horror story as an innocent game" and led to the accidental creation of a new genre
Working on a horror game that is like 60 seconds but in the style of residence massacre, gonna use this vid as constructive criticism and tips. thanks
Can you make a video on the game "The creeps"? Samson, who was the developer of camping, made that game and want to know your thoughts on it. Also, great video! I pretty much agree to all your points of these horror games. They're pretty much repetitive and sloppily made without any real effort made into it. People make these kinds of horror games now because they want robux mostly, atleast in my opinion.
i havent checked that game out yet, is it at least better than mo's academy?
Camping is pretty much like the Friday the 13th of Roblox. Not really great, let alone a masterpiece but has a huge influence for the horror genre, for the better or worse
@theguywhoishimself Yes, I really agree with that. Camping was not really a good game, looking back now nearly at the end of 2023.
@mikadosannoji553 It is better than Mo's academy, at least in my honest opinion. It isn't a story game, though, but for me, that makes it even better.
Breadian is the scariest horror game character...
Ok but id love to see a tier list of roblox horror to see which are the best and the worst
i remember playing weird strict dad with a friend and we ended up dying. when we went to replay it and realized we had to wait like 10 minutes doing the same thing again just to actually get into the "horror" part of the game we said nah and just never played again. shame games are becoming so repetitive.
Yeah weird strict dad was so bad I made 2 videos about it LOL
BAN MAZE SECTIONS
Like... doors aint that bad
He never insulted doors, at 9:44 he mentions it and doesn’t say anything bad about it, yes there are very good Roblox horror games, but in the grand scheme of things there’s just way too many awful ones
I’ve been thinking of an idea for a Horror game, and I’m trying not to take any ideas from the things you just said
ok
tell me if you make it
@@1000-THR just so you know, production starts tommorow, near 12:00 Mountain Standard Time
you should review a game called ''Trespass'' its a story driven horror game
To defend chain, the sounds are meant to be jarring and disorienting, if you want the sounds to be quieter you can always turn down your volume
With the “maze” section it is there to allow a terror to build up as you wonder where chain is
To defend chains survival mode, it’s getting properly updated with new visuals and AI, while being unique in it itself with the ability to dodge, parry, and block as well as shoot the lad
Thank you 🍞 ian for telling us why Roblox Horror Games SUCK - They're So ANNOYING.
this is actually very useful to help me devlop my own game. thanks
Np
These repeated structures/formulas r seen in so many horror games outside of Roblox too tho. I think the maze thing is probably the most unique 2 that platform
Can we just have a roblox horror game where we just kill the killer?
survive and kill the killers:
@@mikadosannoji553 that game but actually good
the rake remastered
(the game hasnt been updated for almost 2 years)
I mean its true but like its funny to have your friends to play it at 3 am
everything is more fun with friends so it can not be used as a reason
@@mikadosannoji553 true
hey bro can ya check out scotomophobia? its a puzzle horror game based off of old roblox myths. it has some pretty interesting story too.
I loved that game, though was too stupid for some of the puzzles at times 😂
YES
Maybe its something I have but I HATE gory games especially if they don't put a warning, I'm fine with blood but once there is more gore included on it I will just give up XD
