The Forest

I don't get why someone would do that either with actual horror games. I don't get what is fun about horror movies or games in general.

Horror genre is more than scripted jump scares, it´s about facing fears and dealing with them in an environment where it can´t really affect you (but you still sorta get involved to it). Anyways, if you want to know why people like it: google it.

btw, why are you answering to messages from january?

Hmm, nice athmosphere. Also looks like flashlights are an actual necessity. + from me

Fucking creepy.
For a guy like me, -who survived a heartattack when first sighted "Headcrab" in HL - this game is guaranteed one-way ticket to afterlife

Will there be a peaceful mode?

Yes.  You will be able to play the game as a more traditional survival/exploration simulator, with the horror elements effectively disabled.

That video does not at all capture the situations Kafein was referring to though. They are playing the game together while talking, also, that game isn't the scariest of games. Kafein was referring to people playing scary games alone, with volume turned up and the lights out. Which is not gonna make you laugh, because you are alone, so it's basically just scary. I don't get why someone would do that either with actual horror games. I don't get what is fun about horror movies or games in general. Getting frightened is about as pleasant as stabbing yourself wth a knife, no reason whatsoever to subject yourself to that. This game doesn't seem so bad in that regard though, it seems extremely atmospheric and intense, which I can dig. But a game with scripted jumpscares, I really do not get it.

I enjoy it. And playing 'horror' games in coop makes 0 sense as it takes away all sense of the horror.

I still remember playing AVP2 when I was a kid on the marine path and being scared shitless.

It's the adrenaline rush that gets me on it. Mind you some games like Amnesia I just can't take. I managed about half of the first one, mostly playing in the dark late at night on my own and just couldn't force myself to continue it was to much stress.

Ye ye blame the game... not million kebabs you devoured till this day

I love horror games but i've never played one where you've got to build and survive. Outlast was by far the scariest game i've ever played (and i'm only half way through QQ)

[Kafein]

My worst jumpscare was that first zombie in Oblivion.

[Senni__Ti]

Played the alpha (on steam), looks superb.

It's full of bugs and incomplete (nothing game breaking, just flora, AI, swimming and some inventory stuff).
Can't save atm though, so I'd advise waiting for awhile (not sure how the price will change though).

I see it becoming a nice 10-50 hour 'use' of time .

[Leesin]

Yeah I played it for a while and for an alpha release it's not bad, it has a lot of potential, it does have game breaking bugs though, memory leaks and as you said, saving is broken, which is game breaking considering you don't really want to invest too much time unless you don't mind losing everything ( or crashing if and once memory leak destroys your game ). But they are aware of these issues and are looking to fix them ASAP.

 It will be especially fun in the future once they finish the core of the game and then add in co-op.

Lol, personally I didn't find it scary at all tbh, night time is a little creepy but it's certainly not as scary as the trailers make out, yet, I say yet because I assume in the future they'll work on the whole "pant shitting factor".

I made my shelter and stuff on this tiny little bit of beach below some rocks, none of the island hillbillies seemed to be able to find me there when I wanted to be safe, the only time that was close was when a bunch of them chased me through the forest in the day to my camp, but once I got down the rocks to my shelter one of them came to the edge of the rocks above and just stood there watching me, then ran off.

Yeah me and my brother would take it in turns playing until we got to facehuggers and then we were both like NOPENOPENOPENOPE
