      This is so bad it makes it weird. This is just a non moving png behind a door. Other games will make it a 3d model or make animations. No this is a just a png behind a door yet this has to be one of the most scary "thing hidden behind a closed door" I'v seen. Made me leave full screen mode and lower a bit my volume. Sometimes when thing are so bad yet so weird and unnerving it's just perfect. Heck fnaf animatronics hidden behind the closet door looks a movie cliché.

    Definitely in the same vein as the "empty multiplayer quake" horror game and I love it. Clever horror games that turn normal but slightly unsettling experiences into full blown horror are always huge to me, bonus points if it comes with that tacky 90's aesthetic. Waiting for the AoL CD horror game.
    This game really inspired me to think about a game where the monster is on a different "plane" than the player. For example the player is stuck in tank controls or a point and click adventure like Myst; but the monster isn't bound by those constraints. Imagine playing a turn-based RPG and halfway through a monster just starts doing shit out of turn and you can't do anything about it or a Myst-clone where normally everything is frozen and moving on specific rails when you do but suddenly a monster starts running at you and turning tight corners.
    It'd be great to have a game where the monster is aware you're playing a game and is aware of your mechanical constraints. What if they could delete portions of your characters data; Their limbs or abilities? If they could move or interact outside of how you would expect an NPC of that genre to act.

    My head canon is that this house has a murder suicide history where the husband was hearing voices or demons in his head ordering him to kill his family. The real estate company does its best to cover The whole debacle but in recording the house they inadvertently captured the demon that was telling the man to kill his family, which puts a curse on this digital open house. The demon just messes with the player and shows disturbing imagery from the murder, even including on of the madman’s daughters or wife hiding in that upstairs room in the closet and the guy’s suicide.

    This has quickly become one of my favorite indie horror games in recent memory for it's unique concept, and it's excellent approach to horror and game design. It contains a lot of very well thought out details that establish an unexpectedly unnerving tone and experience, and plants just enough information around for the player's imagination to run wild with possible implications and theories. All while actualizing that there isn't much to it, and not taking itself too seriously like other games that sometimes fall into the trap of doing so. I'm very interested to see what the developer has in store for their future games.

    Genuinely a fantastic take on the "PT" style game. It drops you in under false pretenses and drips with very real dread. The man hiding in the laundry room was very unsettling, especially since he was just there, and couldn't be interacted with. That and a few other examples like the first time the realtor goes nuts show that this particular creator has a great talent for horror that I hope they continue to explore.

    • @Brrocklon
      @Brrocklon Před 4 lety +5

      @Galaspark I don't think it should have gone in the "oo everything is flesh". It felt like cheap shock value with zero connection to the previous themes established.
      It could have perhaps degenerated further the architecture of the house, mix-matching previous simple elements in stranger ways. Maybe the game should have been longer and had a slower but deeper transition into the full-on weird and uncanny.
      A good example is the game Rhome. Its approach is overall similar (introduces you to a normal element in the form of the house and then ruins everything into eldritchness) but, in my opinion, made better use of its themes.

      @@Brrocklon I agree, i felt the game did a really good job, until the so called demon appeared, it felt like some kind of overused plot and it broke my emersion instantly, at the endless hallways and meat, i kinda lost my interest, none of it felt scary at all to me.
      It could have become some uncanny valley and toy'ed further with the salesman, keeping the tension, but glitching and bugging the house even more, until it has been warped beyond recognition (The hallways and bathroom upstairs slightly mixed with each other and deformed in multiple angles, for example), from which the salesman starts to look like a glitched horrifying thing and you start to hear sounds in the background, that after a while sounds like mumbling and then broken speech.
      After a while you start panicking and be impressed by what the game does.
      The premise could be how the salesman was some guy who was trapped by staying too long in this glitched and bugged showroom and the longer you stay and walk around, the more the current showroom glitches and bugs and the current salesman's soul dies and you replace his with your soul.

    You’ve come across a comment. That would take up a lot of money if you listen. This is how you can decorate your aesthetic bedroom.
    wallpaper:
    You should go with a pastel, white, yellow or crimson coloring if you want to paint your walls. Honeycomb, shells, stripes, hexagons, floral or plain wallpapers are suggestions.
    paintings and pictures.
    You need vintage or retro pictures to use this. These might be family, friends, places, food and etc! You can make anything beautiful. Paintings can be some famous ones, animal, floral, fruit, food, places, items and known people. You need to sort the pictures in a hexagonal/square way and the paintings need to align with one another.
    If you have any paintings or pictures of your own, you can use them. It doesn’t have to be my recommendations.
    Clocks:
    You can use analogue and digital clocks. Just make sure that they go through the similar pattern with your walls. Analogue clocks need to align like your paintings. Grandfather clocks can be used, but only to make your room a vintage style.
    Lamps:
    Lamps can come in any shape and form, this is just a need. There can be chandeliers.
    Toys:
    If you’re a grown up, I would suggest puzzles or Simon says. If you’re decorating a child’s bedroom, then use any toy. Not ones meant for adults.
    Desk:
    Desks are necessary. You can use books, flags, sentimental items, toys, pencil pots, cards, keys, plants, papers, headphones, lamps, kits, bottles, mini shelves, sharpeners, erasers, Rubik’s cubes and cloud letters to fit on your desk. It can be minimal or a desk with a lot of items.
    TV:
    TV isn’t necessary, but you can use them. It shouldn’t be too big, like a living room TV. It should be the size of a vintage TV. It can be on a pile of books or a cupboard.
    Bed:
    Beds have to be for 2. Because they should be big. They can have shelves and they can be bunk beds. If you’re the only one, then make the lower bed your desk.
    Plants:
    They should come in pots or things that plants are supposed to be kept in. Vases are lovely and I suggest using them. Cactuses, flowers, Aloe Vera, bonsai trees and cherry blossoms. They should not bare fruit.
    Chairs:
    Chairs can be a couch for one person, a productive seat or and relaxation seat. They can have pillows and an animals skin. Mainly sheep or fur.
    Furniture:
    Furniture like closets, cupboards, tables, bookshelves and dressers should be either brown or something that fits in with the wallpaper color scheme. It shouldn’t look bad and should look neatly.
    Fairy lights:
    Fairy lights can be placed where the walls meet the ceiling, vintage pictures, mirrors, windows and under the top beds. They are recommended as they give a kind of aesthetic.
    Angel letters:
    Angel letters are normal letters that are basically covered with feathers. They’re normally positive and should be placed on a table or cupboard.
    Computers:
    Just supposed to be on desks.
    Calendar:
    Calendars should be placed on the bedroom door. Inside or outside.
    Windows:
    Should be tall and long. Should have a straight body to remain the room aesthetic.
    That’s it! I’ll edit this once in a while to see if I missed anything.
