About FLATHEAD:
A simple game of over or under taken to the darkest extreme. Strapped to a machine with a plethora of gadgets, the footsteps of a nightmarish terror approach from behind. Your only hope is to save enough points to pay for your escape before the inevitable.
Flathead is designed as a highly replayable, single-sitting game dripping with tension and atmosphere. A simple idea of over or under becomes a strategic gamble with your life as a variety of tools and the strategies they introduce give a unique depth to an innocent concept. Increase your odds, accumulate point multipliers, gain unique modifiers, and more. But no matter how well you’re doing, maybe don’t look over your shoulder…
Today was special, participant.

The game is out NOW and it's literally only TWO DOLLARS: store.steampowered.com/app/2840480/FLATHEAD/ FLATHEAD is cool as hell IMO, and it's so nice to see some experimental, art-driven horror with really good atmosphere. Support this dev by getting the game for yourself, it's worth way more than your morning coffee for sure, and it will help the dev while he develops the Silkbulb Test and other projects in the future. The game has already been updated since this video was recorded, too. Go check it out. Hope you guys enjoyed the video, and have fun playing! (This video is NOT sponsored btw, I just really like these types of games being out there, as always)

[@updog4L]

Wish their games had more actual gameplay though. edit: hope silkbulb has some, demo version is "not representative" of the final game apparently

[@ChrissyWissyWoo]

My favorite kind of horror is the silent and unsettling feeling you get when something is just about to happen but you don’t know when.

[@meurem3354]

Silent hill and resident evil are pretty good at this

[@Silverfang678]

Nice 🙃😃

[@allistertheeldritchmemegod3537]

the face looks happy when you lose and slack jawed/disappointed when you win. You can tell because when things get worse it smiles wide

[@NeonAmnesia]

I thought I was imagining it, noticed something changing while playing. That's interesting to know.

[@KkachiKashaKarma]

Incorrect. From 20:10 he is on a win streak and the face still never stops smiling. I played the game myself and paid special attention to the face and it's only happy whenever you're gambling AKA spinning. Once you stop, it goes back to being upset. It's a gamble junkie.

[@hunterv9259]

weird thing to focus on i know but the sound effects in this game of the machine and everything are REALLY satisfying

[@Lovinia1]

From what I’ve been told , sound design is basically what makes a horror game. There’s a whole KZbin documentary by Scruffy on how fnafs ambiance makes the experience. I recommend it if you have time.

[@andrewdiaz3529]

That what makes it a clever gambling game too; Sounds and environment slowly makes you lose your senses and leads to more mistakes, while at the same time the positive feedback loop of getting the victory sounds encourages laxing your thinking and taking on more risks

[@sihiri_kabari]

@@Lovinia1i mean it makes sense once you think about it. It is kinda weird turning off the sound of the video since it’s just not scary at all anymore tho

[@seb1520]

And the visuals on it are just so fucking cool

[@SunroseStudios]

oh yeah the sound design is great

[@giovannigagliardi7395]

Brothels on opposite day.

[@WarcrimeDragon]

25:00 The odds of that are 5.2%.

[@IGP]

Not crazy but still unlucky considering how many times I got bummed there lol

[@impishlyit9780]

@@IGP Not really. You had a lot of good streaks, but that's just how gambling works. You should lose somewhere around 23.2% of the time in this particular game, assuming the numbers are truly random, or just less than once every four guesses. That's also assuming you always pick the statistically best option every time, which you didn't always do. Basically, your luck was pretty much average in this video.

[@sanjicook08]

​@impishlyit9780 that's not how the odds and statistics work in any way. People really be on here saying b*llshit whenever they feel like it. Smdh

This is like an Aphex Twin music video turned into a game.

[@SadTown99]

Lol nice!

[@MintyCow101]

Holy, so many questions, this is definitely the kind of horror i enjoy, just weird, unexplainable. No gore, jumpscares, unnecessary violence. Just Silent hill, surreal, what is happening vibe. ps. Love watching you igp! you’re hilarious and awesome.

[@christopherbronson3275]

Poor IGP. Thank you for your sacrifice to play these games that those of us don't want to poo ourselves playing

I’ve enjoyed your content, narration, and mentality for so long now I watch your videos twice. mainly because I dig the soul of who you are, fun unique, and all around caring, and if me and watching your vids twice supports you that much more I’m all here for it. You deserve it.

I don’t know if anyone else feels this but I’m getting a very unsettling nostalgic feeling when watching this game. It feels like I’ve touched the machines, heard these sounds, I even have the memory of a specific smell when I look at this which I can’t personally explain cuz I never felt this when watching playthroughs of this developer’s other game. I hope someone else feels like this cuz I really want an explanation.
