You also see his eyes blink the second time he is now a lizard. His eyes close from the sides like a lizard.

That's a really good spot :) If you look at the growths around the street, there also now appear to be an abundance of white protuberances that look halfway between coral polyps and human arms in several locations.

[@animussilica2606]

This... honestly looks awesome on so many different levels. I love how perfectly they capture the atmosphere of a sickly dream, all these little details like a shadows that are not there if you shine directly at them, geometry that is definitely skewed and impossible from afar but happens to be ALMOST normal up close... True lovecraftian horror has to make player constantly question their own perception.

[@steampunksilver7]

Sometimes I come here to watch this trailer and see how they made the end like the beginning and show us how the man is in an endless cycle. It was really good

[@ProfDCoy]

Same. I doubt it was the intention of the people who made it, but my own interpretation is that this is what it must feel like to be trapped inside a feeding-loop for an eldritch monster that just wants an endlessly sustainable snack. So much of Lovecraftian horror is about our inability to comprehend their motives, but for me, after days and weeks of trying to understand how and why a 7th dimensional being would lock a mere human inside an infinitely recurring timeline just to kill it? It hit me: to a being that can warp time this is like having steak forever, and that dude is the cow. Endlessly walking into the booth with no comprehension of his purpose or part in the process until it's too late. I come back to this clip every once in a while to feel that feeling.

[@steampunksilver7]

​@@ProfDCoy I like your interpretation. There are games that made me feel that same way, too, like Little Nightmares 2 and Bioshock Infinite. I highly recommend you give them a try. you will like it.

[@NonniR]

Quite literally, one of the best cinematic trailers ever made. All the tiny details that truly summarize how terrifying lovecraftian horror is. The shadow in the chair that disappears when the light hits it, how the light rays from his flashlight literally slows down when he turns to face the door, just the implications of that alone is terrifying. Then there is the impossible architecture, the looping time and on and on. Brilliant stuff.

[@SneakerStreet1337]

This trailer looks amazing! Cant wait to see more.
