[@tbonestabz4563]

Your point about horror games focusing on the gameplay section and being less reliant on scripted events made me think back on FNAF, it felt more like a game rather than an experience. Yes, it still utilized the "in your face jumpscares", but even then it still had the ambience and isolation like this game does. I suppose that why I love both games! Great video!

[@MysteryGeek2006]

I think what made Fnaf unique at the time was when horror games were trying to be edgy, with old catacombs and gross looking monsters that are obviously inspired by Silent Hill

[@shibainu2528]

@@MysteryGeek2006 It also focused on what I think was an unused part of horror. You've got "fight" horror, like Cry of Fear, Resident Evil, and in some aspects Half Life. You've got "flight" horror, like Amnesia, SCP CB, and Slender. But I don't think they touched on the less talked about third type of scare reactions... "freeze" Instead of seeing something scary then shooting it to get past or running in the opposite direction, you stay where you are and defend yourself from that location using limited resources.

@penileymajorey7174 To be fair, 90% of the videos you see on KZbin are unscripted, not an act, and have adults playing it. It's popular, all the popular youtubers are playing it, it has co-op multiplayer, of course it's going to bring in a lot of "young" people whether the developer intended to or not. TL;DR - Stop gatekeeping, and let people have fun laughing at their friend's screams while being chased by a skull in a wind-up box. Just because it doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to many other adults.

[@tbonestabz4563]

@penileymajorey7174 I agree, games are designed to attract only the people that primary grew up with them. In the future, however, I feel that audiences of older age ranges will be more commonplace due to the duration that video games have been around. Yes, older consoles have been around for a while, but nothing like what we have today.

[@Plexi.T]

I wish I could like a video multiple times. The way you explain why this game is so good and popular was simply so clean and concise.

[@justinlindfors8512]

Horror games consist of key components that labels them as such, such as monsters or hostile entities. What makes lethal company stand out is the ever growing quota forcing you to face such entities while facing literal expulsion from space. Most horror games have some kind of existential dread being usually death by a creature, but lethal company forces you to do your job/objective with failure not being an option!

[@jaxondumo]

because of that it also forces you to learn more about the monsters and be more effecient with dealing with them

My personal favourite experience in lethal company was when on rend (on stormy conditions) and a friend just sprinting towards us (screaming) with a bell just sparking in his hands and somehow managing to kill all 3 of us scavengers.

[@mreverything7056]

For me, what really sells this game is how well the visuals and audio are both used to give you "haha funny moments" and then immediatley rip it all away, then give it back, rinse and repeat. The Bracken and Coil Heads are great examples. The bracken has very distinct noises when you see it (the rustling leaves), and its bright white eyes means you can make it out in the darkness. That very noise strengthens the fact that its a stealth killer, and you could go from discussing plans with your friends to seeing a trail of blood and items. Coil Heads show their speed with the signature spring of their coils, and your first instinct is naturally to try and back away from it. You quickly learn its Mr. Popato, but it becomes even more scary when you consider that you could moonwalk into a mine or the Bracken could be behind you to ruin your run. Also, thank goodness the audio is actually BALANCED WELL, and loud noises aren't used for every way you die. If the Bracken did a FNaF screech at me everytime it snapped my neck, I would hate it so much more.

The “alone=scary” is the most accurate description of this game ever. Like whenever I play alone I never get to any of the paid moons because I scare-quit.
