I think there are a few things that make RPG Maker horror games so good. Sound design is one, but that's something that's needed across any horror game and film. I think the 2D pixel art is a big part because it partially abstracts things and your mind fills in gaps of details that can just make things super freaky. The less detail you see the scarier.

I think the "more building" reveal was better in grave encounters 1. In 2 it was kinda silly, I honestly laughed a bit when it happened. Like the building pulled a "jk you're still here" thing on them. In the first one it felt like they were being trapped by something that didn't care about their reaction or scaring them but just wanted to keep them there to kill them.

Man, Grave Encounters brings me back to high school. I don’t remember the first one well at all but I thought the way the second one’s plot really utilized the original was super creative.

[@Hollow__Heart]

A really nice game. It also has a lot of things that can happen differently seemingly at random during different play throughs. Like the first time you meet the killer in the basement he walks out of the door like in that video the first time, when I replayed the game he came through the same door our character did and it was also accompanied by a CG. Makes replaying the game pretty interesting.

In the world's most famous thought experiment, physicist Erwin Schrödinger described how a cat in a box could be in an uncertain predicament. The peculiar rules of quantum theory meant that it could be both dead and alive, until the box was opened and the cat's state measured.

The cat thing is a famous joke intended to make fun of quantum mechanics in its early days, specifically superpositions. It was then used to actually help conceptualize quantum superposition. It's not actually how superpositions work, but it's helpful to have a somewhat accurate understanding.

If you think about it videogames with save points where we can respawn from where we fail and make alternate decisions is pretty much schrodinger's theory in effect (each save file being an alternate universe), so it's really cool the developer decided to be literal about it with an RPG Maker game and make that the element of horror and the plot.

The thing about Shroedinger's cat is that people usually don't understand what it actually is. It's often used by people that don't understand quantum mechanics as an analogy to explain quantum superposition whereas it was actually used as a paradox showing why the interpretation was kinda dumb.

The cat in box is both alive and dead at the same time because quantum mechanics. Most people are aware of the Schrodinger cat "experiment" the concept is based on. What most people don't know is that Schrodinger actually was using the proposed experiment to illustrate how the idea of quantum mechanics was actually stupid because the cat was clearly one or the other regardless of if you personally knew which one it was prior to opening the box.

[@TGRoko]

[@Oskanwhitchfather]

Indei, the premise is Schrödinger's Cat. It's a very famous, and infamous, theory. The answer is "The cat is both dead and alive, until you open the box and confirm it's position". It's one of the foundations for quantum theories, and lots of shit waayyy above my IQ's pay grade.

[@TheBloodswordsman]

Okay so I think I get the story... maybe... Indiemaus' Sallie chose to escape the house, completing the ritual and letting the eldritch being into the world and it's only a matter of time before humanity ceases to be. While Original Sallie, chose to stay behind in the house, and continuously kill all other Sallies in an endless timeloop in order to prevent said eldritch being from leaving its confines in the house.

[@poseidon9943]

yes, pretty much. its important to note that, after a while of the girls (sallie's canon name) staying in that house, they slowly morph into that monster. notice how the monster only had one eye? this is because of what happened to the girl (not sallie) at the end of the video. i suggest, if you like this game, to go to manlybadasshero's play through of it. there's so much more to the game its amazing. surprised indie got the 'best ending' possible on the first shot of the game.
