Very Unique and Terrifying Indie Horror Game | Iblis - Full Game

[@Take-aim-and-reload...]

1:53 _"...min Al-Jinnati wa An-Naas."_ is the last verse of the Qūran chapter *_QS. An-Naas._* In Arabic, each word literally means: _"min"_ = "from" _"Al-Jinn"_ = "the Demon" _"wa"_ = "and" _"An-Naas"_ = "humans" Within full context of the chapter, the last verse is about praying/asking to God for divine protection against the Demon (Al-Jinn); and the wicked humans (An-Naas) who side with them, which in this game's case, refers to The Bride who made contract with the Demon sometime in her life before she died in a car accident. As a Muslīm, the game's intro actually creeped me out...

[@hantz8771]

Fr it's so scary since it feels like the Main Char really needs a protection from the devil

For real, same here I don't know much arabic, I know like 1 sentence, but about the Jinnats and wicked humans I know. Even tho I'm not really religious I'm am really superstitious, so I was really scared at the game, but the prayers actually really helped me feel safer hahaha idk why it's a video game

I absolutely love it when horror games have some kind of cultural relevence to it. Like how Detention and Devotion have Taiwanese culture and history, Blasphemous has Spanish Catholic roots to it, and Home Sweet Home has Thai supernatural creatures and urban legends. This game seems to have Islamic roots and demons ("iblis" being a kind of demon in Islamic culture), and since I'm from a Muslim country, this feels weirdly close to home. Honestly, it makes it more uncanny and creepy for me.

[@MrAdrien914]

Blind corners and doors seem like the quite literally easiest jumpscare material, exactly why indoor horrors are so spooky. You could eventually go anxious over possible jumpscares just like in Resident Evil 7. EDIT: I do not speak Arabic but I know that the Main Character was praying in 7:43 for example, you can see it in a lot of ghost encounter videos, they pray to scare away the ghosts / demons, and in Japan they usually curse in order to scare them away :)

[@cinderellacomplex7]

Actually, in CHINA they curse and shout to scare the ghosts away. Not Japan.

[@demi4901]

That would be so cool to do a horror game where you travel the world and learn about different religions/cultures and exorcise spirits based on the specific religion and ritual. Interesting stuff

[@darrelsam419]

Yeah, I'd love to play a game like that. Something like Phasmophobia or Ghost Hunters Corp but more international. You can only exorcise spirits with the correct rituals from the culture/religion it's from.

[@Bevsworld04]

When there was that really loud noise and you said something "nothing was even there, it was just a loud noise", im pretty sure the bride was standing there in the hallway but you looked at just the wrong angle to see it right in front of you Right around 25:50 Though I could be wrong

The ambience in this game is outstanding and I really liked the random progression by forcing you to explore. Pacing too really draws you in. But with a lot of these horror games it's hard to keep it novel and scary all the way through and the whole "find fire and burn babies" thing until the end was a bit anticlimactic for the build up.

[@jonl7591]

This game is spooky because other, actually spooky games have trained you to expect things to happen after certain cues like audio. This game just has a bunch of cues, starts establishing ambience, then never actually does anything. So you have growing creepy feeling because other games have trained you, but this game forgot the actual spooky payoff. Scary = things happening in the house around that you never really see, noises indicating that spooky stuff is somewhere, maybe, but not where you are. Oh, and throw in some creepy cliches like babies and static tv but make sure they never, ever connect to any kind of coherent story or that the player ever understands what they mean (that might give them something to actually be spooked by). - Iblis devs, apparently.

[@Tanner-gr1sb]

Iblis is a physiological horror game. Physiological horror games rely on ambience and spooky situations, they focus on the mental and emotional parts of a horror game rather than things like jumpscares.

[@jonl7591]

@@Tanner-gr1sb I assume you mean psychological, not physiological. Physiological horror isn't a thing. This game relies on one aspect, setting ambience. That is the absolute easiest "psychological horror" to create with modern engines. Just create a vaguely unsettling house because it's dark, messy, and makes noises. Occasionally lights blink, and there are sounds that seem to indicate that something spooky just happened. Probably. Maybe. I mean, you might never know, cause it wasn't near you, and you probably won't ever notice it. That is lazy horror that never builds, and once the player realizes that nothing is really going to happen, the "horror" of it plateaus and then dies away. This game got lucky and just cut everything short with an easy ending before what horror there was had time to really pass. So good job with that part, I guess. It is the equivalent of telling a story, "You go into a dark, unsettling, creepy house and walk around. Sometimes you hear vaguely unsettling noises." You, excited, lean forward, eagerly awaiting the next aspect of psychological manipulation that will build on the dread and horror only to be met with: "And then, you leave. Muahahahahahahaha, spoooooooooooky!"

[@Tanner-gr1sb]

@@jonl7591 yeah, ig I was misspelling phycological cuz I thought that’s what it was but auto correct kept changing it to physiological and I just thought I’ve been spelling phycological wrong my whole life. Anyways, isn’t spooky setting and ambience the whole purpose of a phycological horror game, I mean that’s what I’ve always associated with the term.

I have a weird question. Do you work in IT field? I'm curious as you check out things like real UI tester, investigate how things are scripted, check for vulnerabilities which can be exploits (like emf 5 read from graph in Phasmo). Also thank you for message to viewers being short (like if you like, if not not, let's start the game) and not showing famous KZbin stats graph and complaining for not subscribing for 10 minutes straight, that's nice approach. Not misunderstand me, seeing some ad from sponsor in future is completely fine, I root for you. I just don't like investing so much time in unneeded things in every video like other channels do.

I'm not sure why the dead bride would give a damn about haunting a family she barely knew and who she probably cared very little about at the time of her death by auto accident.

İm from turkey live in istanbul. Thank you so much for loving our country. The house in the game passes in the west of Turkey, one of the old Turkish houses. I would like to add a note that the language we speak is Turkish :) not like this this is arabic. And iblis means demon.

[@KimBuS_kkolar]

some muslims say their prayers in arabic

[@Take-aim-and-reload...]

Since the game depicts the Yakapinar Village as an extremely religious Islamic community in Ankara, I think I'm going to assume that most of the residents there probably have strong links with the followers of Salafi, whose goal is to keep the Islamic teachings remain original and pure, in which one of the ways to do so is by keeping the usage of Arabic language within their daily life and prayers.

[@KimBuS_kkolar]

@@Take-aim-and-reload... yes you are right and there are a lot of storys like this on the black sea side(like trabzon). 90% of horror movies in turkey are based on these storys ;)

[@poseidonsolos6578]

@@KimBuS_kkolar huh? You are aware that the five prayers you offer each day must be in Arabic, right? Wdym some, then? You must pray it in Arabic, brother; you act as though we have a choice. All the duas and suras has to be in the original language Arabic. And Iblis is the devil's real name; it's not some racial nickname for him, haha. He only knows how to read Arabic, which is a need because you must read the authentic Qur'an in Arabic in order to recite suras and duas. This is pretty worrying. I am aware that Turkey is the furthest thing from being a Muslim nation, but what is genuinely alarming is that Turkey today is the precise definition of being a Muslim only in name.

The book you read in the beginning was Coran(Quran) which is the equivalent of the bible in christianity. The room with writing on the wall, that reads as "in the name of god" so i think that was the safe room.

I explaining from my pov and I am Muslim. At the basement there indicates there a unholy black ritual that was done there, hence, the strong disturbance by the spirit there. Light outs, item droppped or smashed to the ground due to that. Usually in our case when spirit haunt/disturbed they played in outside of our vision (we can only hear it cannot see it) and when we can see it mostly it is vague and cannot find the exit or the key even though it just sitting there.
