Bed Sheets Are Genuinely Terrifying in this Intense Psychological Horror Game! - LUTO

[@safe-keeper1042]

Alpha Beta Gamer video creation process: 15% filming 85% editing 120% coming up with suitable puns for each video

[@TheOrangeRoad]

The sheets remind me of the classic ghost story "Oh Whistle and I'll come to you my lad" That story still scares me, and all it needed was bedsheets. Oh and a whistle

[@Lilmisscostumedrama]

Yessssss! A short but terrifying story!

[@kennethruskin2710]

Aye, it does quite a bit, but I wouldn't say it was all that needed. The spectre manifesting in cloth is sadly the only thing this demo shares with that wonderful story by M.R. James. All the usual hackneyed tropes are employed, the writing on walls, the 'psychological horror' - meaning a nonsense setting and place, the note hunting. One of the issues with this is that when you convince the player anything can happen at any time what would otherwise be significant loses any impact. What made the written story work was how it was grounded. It took advantage of the antiquity of England and the surrounding mundanity made the impact of this bedsheet haunting all the more potent. Quoting M.R. James himself from a preface he penned: _I think that, as a rule, the setting should be fairly familiar and the majority of the characters and their talk such as you may meet or hear any day. A ghost story of which the scene is laid in the twelfth or thirteenth century may succeed in being romantic or poetical: it will never put the reader into the position of saying to himself, 'If I'm not very careful, something of this kind may happen to me!'_ Moreover, beyond how original such a ghost such as this is in the current horror landscape the rest of the demo seems like one big homage with little to say of its own. There are the drawings of every imaginable horror film, illustrations taken from the works of Lavater - although I'm not sure what's so dreadful about physiognomy - and of course it's also taking much, if not most, from that one faux indie game by Kojima, P.T., and other games too often mindlessly copied. How refreshing it would be if the entirety of it would be in the style of an M.R. James tale. Or better yet, entirely original.

She's a lady in the streets, a phantom in the sheets.

The little nod at the Gizmo/Mogwai drawing at 2:43 made me smile :) thanks for the spooky gameplay!

[@rhysm8476]

Oh yes 5:39 the animation, you think it’ll come through the open door on the left but psyche! The bed sheet ghost is so well done

[@alexanderchang6770]

And it scares many of us. Though the old bedsheet ghost is classic and old, it still effective to scare many of us.

[@Ranzord95]

"luto" is the spanish word for mourning it's a bit of a blanket noun, referring to the social behaviors and traditions around loss and grief

[@ZachariahJ]

Thanks for that - I was thinking it may have something to do with 'game', from the Latin 'ludo'. I could not have been more wrong!

[@rhanonguerra5139]

In Portuguese means grief

[@TheRealNormanBates]

a "blanket" noun?

[@MoogMonster554]

Lots of movie references in the drawings in that kids bedroom. I spotted: Gremlins A Nightmare on Elm Street The Exorcist Child's Play The Neverending Story Beetlejuice ET Jaws The Addams Family and possibly Hook? There were a few more I couldn't figure out. That kid's got good taste though!

[@JohnCharb87]

After declaring "I am the sheet!" One homeowner faced a multiple chain reactions of terror. The blue VHS tape reminded me of the Nickelodeon orange tapes from the 90's.

[@haseo8244]

One of the drawings is from never ending story.

[@haseo8244]

Another is ET

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

The protag apparently broke the three rules of owning bedsheets: he got them wet and fed himself in them past midnight

[@kalezuki9231]

What's the third one? 🤣

This is excellent for a small game. Omg, the scariest thing of all….the room scent sprayers!!!

[@grimgrahamch.4157]

5:40 this part is REALLY good. The rig, the cloth physics, was this motion captured? Because it looks absolutely amazing!

[@Davenzoid]

I dont think you can motion capture cloth anyway

[@Foxtrop13]

you will need super expensive rig to capture the cloth moving, very likely they made a simulation over an animated character

[@shadyone6620]

it's Unreal Engine, it can simulate cloth very well. Most probably, just a cloth physics over animated invisible character.

[@grimgrahamch.4157]

@@Foxtrop13 I should specify, mocap on the model, not the cloth.

[@rosiequartzie2230]

Props for making bedsheets ghosts legitimately terrifying 😳👏

[@shaiq-nbaiq1826]

I love the children's drawings of the classic fantasy and horror movies. Beetlejuice, Gremlins, Nightmare on Elm St., The Neverending Story, Childs Play!!!

[@nuggman4896]

7:25 “Things he likes: boys” oh he’s just like me fr

[@RougeMephilesClone]

This game seems very well-made. I hope the full release can follow through.

[@il-ma.le.]

Now that I think about, the classic ghost made out of a sheet was associated with rumor of chains for some reason. And the place seems a detenction structure. But for who? For you or for the Sheet? Also, the hallaway with the bars is a neat nod to Silent Hill 2. Movies spotted: - Gremlins - E.T. - The Infinite Story(?)

[@hagnekore]

some others i spotted - Scream - Wednesday Addams (the addams family) - Child's play - Beetlejuice - The Exorcist - Jaws

[@d4n737]

I just wrote something about this! The scary thing isn't some phantom in a bedsheet. That's not even a bedsheet - that's a veil. The ones they use in funeral services... It implies that there's a dead person underneath and it keeps roaming.

[@aeon_zero]

This. This is good. WAY above all the bottom-feeding horror games coming out lately. 3D, audio, pacing and quality of storytelling and scary stuff is so ell done. Good job guys!

[@Jack_Wolfe]

Okay, thats a whole new creepy, I like it. Note to self: movement beats gore ALWAYS

[@lalalandd123]

5:40 holy shit that animation sequence was amazing

[@VixenMink]

I love the intro pixel art for your channel btw. So awesome

I sometimes think it’d be great living alone. Then these games remind me otherwise.

all the movie easter eggs i spotted on the drawings: - The neverending story - ET - Scream - The exorcist - Beetlejuice - Gremlins - Child's play - Jaws - The Addams Family - Some zombies maybe representing all the zombie movies - I THINK michael myers from Halloween

[@sweepingtime]

This is one of the better PT inspired ones.

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

Let's hope that we see more of these bed sheet ghosts someday. They stole the show.

[@d4n737]

...They always were, people just didn't realise. Those are not bedsheets. Those are mortuary veils. The implication is that there's a corpse underneath.

[@randykeeling1916]

You're a baller for playing all these pants crappingly spooky games for us to watch. Appreciate your videos very much.

2:30 I didn't expect there would be a reference to Never Ending Story.

[@Switcher1972]

Wouldn't have been surprised to find a Lemarchand Configuration's box in there. Clever game. And the intro / end vids are still excellent.

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

8:26 my kid is drawing something childish that makes him happy instead of something serious I approve of? Outrage. Everyone knows children don't exist to be happy! They are there to be guilttripped for their parents' misery and reminded of it every day!

Luto. What happens when you give Charlie Brown a rock instead of candy for Halloween .

you can see it was clearly inspired by the PT/Silent Hills teaser

[@NightmarezTerror]

Goddamn bed sheet are out to get us now too?! Nowhere is safe!

[@JackFrostIsHere]

This was a good horror game but the BGM soundtrack was unnecessary. Much less BGM and voicing adds more to intensity of silent horror atmosphere giving enough room for the audience to feel insecure and feared. I hope the dev of this game reads my suggestion for future improvements of the game

[@Camera123]

Or you could just mute the game and let other people enjoy the atmospheric BGM and creepy voice lines? 🤷‍♂️

[@PiggyPorkchop]
