And it preys on fears that we’ve all experienced, usually as kids when we’re doing something we feel like we’re not supposed to. Or when you’re older, and stuck with anxiety. It’s easy to immerse yourself in! That’s why it’s so effective.

[@gaelenriquelopezgonzalez5306]

@@AnEmu404 It personally reminds me of when I got in trouble in primary school, the time I spent sitting outside of the principal's office thinking about the worst case scenario felt like it lasted an eternity, and all of that was way worse than the actual event of going inside the office and explaining what I had done. That experience alone has caused me to hate waiting for things to happen even to this day.

[@Geistking]

It really fascinating because you're literally playing as a burglar yet for some reason the owner arriving is just terrifying the first time it happens, like in any other scenario where you were to play as a character who just arrived home only to find there's someone in there with him you'd be scared sh*tless, but here, the absolute silence (apart from the clock) as well as the suddenness and the fact nothing warns you that the owner coming back home is even a thing prior or even as you play the game until the clock makes it so damn horrifying to hear him pull up the driveway as you just...panic. Big fan of this game if you couldn't tell, also really well made video, keep up the good work!

I can't help but be reminded of my relationship with Rain World. Far from a horror game structure, the dread and terror that game used to give me are unrivaled. (past tense as over 60 hours later I've grown somewhat accustomed and the terror faded)

[@bat6594]

Holy shit yea, as a newbie i was shitting myself in fear from green lizards but after 160hours, i can say that its just kinda chill unless some rly intense music kicks in and its just ohsmagawdgogogo.

This game is a good example of atmospheric horror. Intentional or not, it's spooky. No jumpscares necessary. I like :)

[@Vhite]

I just wanna say I really love your BGM and overall art aesthetic, and that you are my favorite type of pasta. Also, this reminds me a very vivid dream I once had, so vivid that I started to make a game based on it but eventually shelved it. I don't wanna go into all the details, but similar to this it was a horror/puzzle game with no monster, and lighting played an important role. As you would play in this large maze-like park, day and night would pass by. During the day you would have the sun, and nights would start will full moon, but progress towards new moon with every night, and so it would get gradually darker and darker until the final night gave you something to really fear. What it was is something I never established, but it wasn't important as that slow buildup towards it.

The premise of the horror being "hurry up or else the game gets harder" kind of reminds me of the urgency I had while playing HOUSE. I love that game with every fiber of my being and I have yet to figure out why HOUSE of all the horror games I've watched and played gets me on edge. But your explanation regarding the timed mechanic seriously struck a chord in my brain somewhere because oh my gods it makes so much sense, along with just exploring and being overall nervous and suspicious of every little object within your sight. Even the carpet aaaa.

[@lawnmower-pq8vk]

This kind of reminds me of a scene from Crime and Punishment, where Raskolnikov has just killed someone not once, but twice, and then as he's standing there with her things, floor soaked with blood, axe in his hands, someone comes to the door. The sense of sheer panic as you have barely seconds to think, the clock racing against you Of course Raskolnikov does make it out unseen but that's not the point lol

[@Jesterio]

Holy crap I totally forgot about this game! I discovered it on a french channel, it wasn't as popular in France, but the french Pewdiepie ripoff played it back then! Also, reminded me of how I became a Lakeview Cabin fan. I did some let's plays on Lakeview Cabin Collection years ago a month after the game came out, made videos as the game got more content, and deleted everything years later 'cuz I was 11 years old when I made the let's play and my voice cringed the soul out of me. Then, I replayed it years later, and it became one of my favorite video-game series ever. I even downloaded the first flash little game that was originally Lakeview Cabin to put it on Steam because I love it. When I replay it, I feel happy, nostalgic, and a lot of adrenaline, I even discovered new things, lore that came with Lakeview Valley and Lakeview Cabin 2, and when I discovered everything, I started speedrunning the game, didn't become involved in the community 'cuz I'm really shy, but it's crazy how some indie games can be rediscovered years later. Also, the grandfather clock reminds me a lot of some gameplay mechanics in Lakeview Cabin. The crows in chapter III, the spaceship alarm in chapter VI, the, well, grandfather clock in the christmas minisode, the clock sound when it's midnight in Lakeview Valley, heck, even the sound of the deer dying in the flash Lakeview Cabin game. It's great!

Wow, I never thought I’d see a good video on this forgotten gem again! Thanks for making this video, TVOThief has a special place in my heart and the unexpectedly suspenseful atmosphere is a big reason for it. However, there’s one thing I disagree with, and it’s your remark on how the owner himself is goofy. I always thought he was the most terrifying part of the game. It’s bad enough that he won’t hesitate to beat you to the ground as soon as he finds you, but he can also sprint up behind you without making a sound, with definitely gave me a heart attack a few times. But the worse part? His face is completely blank. It’s uncanny enough to feel like whatever you’re up against isn’t exactly human. Something worse than the thief you’re playing as.

If you pit all three of the owners against Mr. X would they stand a chance? I think they'd be able to take him on, haha. But seriously, this little game is so interesting for what it does.

I am always so interested whenever im reminded of older games that suddenly blew up in popularity on youtube then just as fast as it did, was simply forgotten about.

Thief before the break-in: Aight all i gotta do is find this, this, and this.. easy enough. Thief 30 minutes later: IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?!?

Hey pastra, there's a unknown indie horror game that I think it would be interesting for you to review. It's name is mundaun, it's pretty much a "small town horror story"

[@TheRPGNerd]

Pastra playing this game: it is hot as hell in this fucky ass, hot ass home I'm robbing- IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER??

[@rozeico]

This game is what hello neighbor could’ve been if it was actually good

[@livekazumareaction]

I swear I'm insane because I'm positive there's a version where the owner is a kangaroo with boxing gloves

This brings me back with memories of those times where that type of games were famous! It made me remember one about being a good husband? And you would do (optional) tasks like cleaning, putting in place some stuff, etc, just being overall a "good" husband but in the end you would find your wife cheat on you, it was fun back in those years to watch youtubers play it.

So basically Don't Breathe: The video game Overall, I think stealth games are underrated, with many being labelled as "horror", even when they really are stealth games first and horror games second. I mean you could argue Amnesia: Dark Descent is just a spooky stealth game.

Hey Pastra! Have you ever played “Presentable Liberty”? It’s an older game but it’s a pretty incredible experience that I think you would enjoy. A very different take on horror.

Tbh I never even got to "remember" it as I never saw it, for some reason.

[@ChezburgerGuy]

Dude I remember this game. Scared the crap out of me!

[@theevildrblue1212]

why was this so genuinely terrifying? like, more terrifying than an ACTUAL horror game?
