[@annick7869]

it's the "shift to run" and "you can hide under the bed" without anything jumping out after that tip is the best thing this game's creator/s did.

[@cs9398]

One of the brilliant things this game does is avoid killing the player. The initial fear of dying is what motivates the player not to get caught by the monster, but after going through it over and over, you eventually stop being scared. Constantly waiting for something to *eventually* happen to you but never actually fulfilling that fearful anticipation keeps you edge throughout the experience, instead of constantly having the game’s tension interrupted by a repetitive jumpscare after making a mistake. It also forces the player to have to be completely immersed in the dark during certain segments, keeping you from using the light to become comfortable with the environment. I love this game just watching Mark play it.

[@David-lu4th]

Good explanation

[@stevenharris6997]

Exactly! You totally get it. Plz make good games like this now and become a Dev!

[@modelomegatyler]

i'm months late on this, but what if the game gives it a scripted event where it kill you, you get a fake respawn, and the thing never kills you again?

[@modelomegatyler]

@@The_G_in_Jesus my dude, i have no idea what you're saying and i'm not sure you do either.

[@JohnDoe-hj9fh]

The only problem is when games follow this formula but are too long because then the tension goes knowing you'll never actually be killed. The best thing a game can do is make the player believe they can die while never actually killing them

[@Engitainment]

This was a really polished experience, dang. There were moments where your reflection disappeared and that messed with me so much. Huge credit to the developers

[@KireShockSauce]

The one and only complaint I have is that they didn’t start you with a small key only labeled “64” just for us folks who noticed you start right next to the mailbox. Personally I got upset that mark didn’t notice or ever check the damn thing, as it was my first instinct. Especially having dealt with deceased loved ones and knowing that’s part of the ordeal. But I think it would be cool if the devs put in a small Easter egg or lore in the mailbox.

I swear those old post-soviet flats are creepy even without additional monsters. The light is flickering (usually there's electricity issues), old wooden floors are deforming soundly, the wind is howling and the cupboards drawers are self-opening (again, old loose furniture and uneven floors). Don't forget the sound of ticking clocks and waterdrops on the sink if you did not close the tap really well... My grandparents had a similar apartment, it was creepy even after the renovation. Also, it was on the ground floor so you can hear sounds of the pipes from the basement if you are sleeping next to the wall. I still have nightmares about it sometimes, and granny's like "ah, just don't be afraid of any paranormal stuff and it'll go away. be afraid of the living ones only" 😶

As a Slav - god damn this apartment looks so much like my granmother's house. Really gives off the vibes of the style that was really popular during the late 20th century. It only adds to the scary factor for me - it's the familiarity of it all, I think.

[@SandraNLN]

Well yeah, because it's clearly a хрущёвка, maaaaaybe a брежневкa (since they are generally taller). They are still the majority of housing in FSU countries, and especially in Russia. Although more are being demolished every year because they are an expensive nightmare to try and renovate as they continue to crumble away. So you have the copy-paste room layout, plus then all the standard Russian cultural touches (Covers/rugs on the wall, the sitting room with the big wall-cabinet, separate toilet from bath, that plastic tablecloth in the kitchen, the wallpaper choices, etc.) What was missing was rolls of extra linoleum or wallpaper in the storage closet/toilet cubicle, and definitely missing a balcony with an old refrigerator on it. These things are getting less common with those people born in the 90s now becoming apartment owners/adults, but it's still a huge part of the soviet legacy to have this exact apartment set up and mentality in anyone over the age of 40.

[@SandraNLN]

Oh, also I should add that I agree with you 100%. The familiarity definitely added another layer to the spooks. I could actually feel myself there, and next time I go to Russia, you can bet I won't be in one of those apartments with the lights out, haha.

The soviet apartment that CAN still easily cach fires is a Stalinka apartment (which actually explains why the germans wanted to set Leningrad on fire with bombs, but the buildings' bases were covered in some sort of protection against it in time), made in the 30s. Compared to a Khruschevka from the 50s-60s, it is bigger and has a higher ceiling. However part of its construction is made out of wood and its wiring is less than ideal. i am unsure if these are even still used, since the wood tends to, you know, be more fragile than iron and concrete

As an old-school fan of Mark's, I can confirm it's been years since I've seen him this scared. It reminds me a lot of how he would act while playing Outlast or even the original FNAF games, just reduced to yelling and repeating phrases over and over. And for good reason, this game is incredibly well made and nails that sense of helplessness. The fact that it tells you to run and hide, but you're in a tiny apartment with nowhere to run or hide, is extremely unnerving. One of the best short story horror games I've seen in a long time.

Random fact for 22:18 ! That photo was most likely not edited as back then parents would want picture of only their babies. But since photos back then took a while to process and trying to make a baby sit still is difficult they would have the baby sit on their mothers lap to help them stay still.

They are almost always super vivid too which is crazy. I actually don't mind it and I don't really get scared of them because I find them really inspiring for my writing and I have notes full of my dreams on my phone.
