i love how the game just tells you ”press shift to run” when theres nothing to run from, same with ”you can hide under the bed” its just so ominous i love it

[@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]

[@stevenharris6997]

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

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?

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

They're definitely the type that freak me out the most whilst playing them, like with cod zombies, the forest, dying light, they scared the shit out of me when I first played them or came across difficult enemies in them, but it kinda wears off when you either level up or learn the best way to kill them. While in run/hide games, you can't get rid of the threat.

Ive watched Mark play countless other horror games and been able to make it through with his humor, but this one, *this* one, puts some ungodly fear and overall uncomfortableness that makes it near impossible for me to watch. Just the overall darkness and I guess griminess of the atmosphere immediately activates my flight or fight instincts to just run and get away as fast as possible. Overall, 10/10, would never watch again or play myself out of fear of a heart attack, goodbye

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" 😶

[@bluebird4052]

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.

How much of the wall rugs is cultural vs. practical? I've heard from Russian colleagues and other places that they mostly came about because insulation was non-existent and the thin walls let sound through, putting thick rugs on the walls helped with both.

I watched this in the middle of the night in the dark (NOT in bed and on a phone) and it was only slightly unsettling. - It takes quite something for me to feel really unsettled, and usually that means also playing myself in the same setting, with the doors unlocked.

[@comradeyuri277]

Actually, if the ingame apartment is on the 2nd and 1st floor, it is sort of normal in real life. Everything tells me that the apartment is like an old post-soviet one. As in, made in USSR. And after 1991, due to an increase in crimes, the lower floor windows were usually barred. By thinner bars though

[@gerardschofield6760]

@@comradeyuri277 damn that's actually interesting and an absolute fire hazard XD

[@comradeyuri277]

@@gerardschofield6760 i mean, yeah, but cases of actual fires are surprisingly low. 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

[@LordDuncanGAME]

I was thinking they might be really high up, and it could be a type of suicide prevention and/or accident protection as you can’t really throw yourself out the window it it is barred

[@comradeyuri277]

[@cbass2238]

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.
