yeah
well, not shit like Bioshock and Ravenholm, but i tried to play Soma and I just get so worked up expecting the scares that i wear myself out super fast

Only the unintentional surreal shit.

That video was dumb and people who make hour long headcanon videos about it are maximum autists.

I think the last game that give me some spoops and a good feeling of tension was Underhell.

Outlast turned out to be pretty weak

Is the DLC more interesting?

>got recommended one of those
>takes two hours to tell me to figure it out myself
fucking

NO

Nah, it's the same shit. It was very boring and devs kind of overused the "Just in time" trope. Outlast must be the least scary game I've ever played.

I found the DLC to be more disturbing, mostly because of the saw. The gameplay was pretty weak though.

Whats that pic from?

Looks a little spooky.

This house has people in it. It even features sonic the hedgehog

Not really, and honestly, they haven't for quite a while. It's really gotten to where I just like horror games for the thick atmosphere. That's probably the biggest reason I want to get into VR, to see if it can make horror games scary again.

I could never decide

Watching a family get fucked up by Lynx/the fear of Lynx is interesting, but I don't have a gun and the MYST "game" that accompanies it is pretty spoopers

>That surprise one at the end of the dlc
Only vidya-related thing I can think of off the top of my head that legit gives me PTSD.

Game Spookiness:

Amnesia The Dark Descent: slightly spooky
Amnesia Machine For Pigs: not spooky
Outlast: not spooky
Outlast Whistleblower: not spooky
Silent Hill 2-4: slightly spooky
New Silent Hills: not spooky
Slender: not spooky
Dead Space 1-3: not spooky
Alan Wake: not spooky
Call of Cthulhu: slightly spooky
Five Nights at Freddy's: retarded
Penumbra: not spooky
Fatal Frame series: not spooky
Siren: not spooky
Layers of Fear: not spooky
Obscure: not spooky
Resident Evil 7 Demo: slightly spooky

made me laugh for some reason

What the fuck was that?

Why was some girl just floating through the floor? What the fuck?

footage of a bear is good as well, helps explain a lot of what you just saw.

Dreadout was pretty cool. It's not techically impressive but the style and atmosphere was really to my liking.

The Space Quest games are unnerving no matter how old I get, especially 3

...

yeah pretty much

with DEEPEST LORE

...

Am I dumb for not knowing what the fuck is going on or how the two are related?

This is the first thing I watched since I woke up.

Don't forget the .wav files and emails in the archive

sadday

I love Alan Resnick so much.

no they're purposely obtuse

There's weird shit hidden as well

yes, it's horror movies that do nothing for me anymore and it's a shame
haven't been spooped by a horror movie in 10 years

they aren't related, I just thought it would be the best way to make you want to watch it. they're both pretty great but unrelated

>video inexplicably spends almost 20 minutes talking about "horse apples"
>is completely unrelated to basically everything and is the biggest fucking reach
Why night mind

also
>just figure it out urself xd
you could just tell he couldn't come up with anything solid and went the cop out route

Also don't forget to watch the Alantutorial videos on YouTube

youtube.com/#/user/alantutorial

is there a place that lists all of the 'easter eggs' or spooky shit in this house has people in it? I love that shit but I bet I've missed some things in it.

Horse apples as an synonym for Lynx being bullshit makes perfect sense, but he could have said it in one or two sentences instead of padding fifteen minutes with it goddamn Nick

Blair Witch looks pretty good.

>the explanation was shit
or was it...horse apples?

>wake up
>alan resnick thread
what a good day already

i want to fuck that mom in the second one

>Alan Resnick wont make another film for at least a few months to even a year

Yes, although they are pretty cheap scares. I am a jumpy person by nature, and if you randomly throw loud obnoxious shit on my screen without any warning i will probably jump to it. And then i'll jump right to Steam refund because fuck jumpscare games.

youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo

What you're doing makes no sense, and it's breaking my heart

Which one

It's been months since This House... I saw on his Twitter he's working on an animation.

If he manages the same quality jump in his next work that he had from UFOAB to THHPII, the wait will definitely be worth it, I'm hype.

tormadoes.weatherfront.net

second one is boring, Unedited footage of a bear is a masterpiece

>tormadoes.weatherfront.net

both but i was originally referring to the yellow shirt main mom

I'm in love

i dont know why but i've been terrified of bioshock 1 ever since i pirated it when i was 12

i can play bioshock 2 just fine but 1 just terrifies me on an existential level

Does anyone have a gif of that deep sea game that is like a sub but you see everything with sonar. And the sonar picks up whathe looks like a sucked battle ship. But as you get closer you realize it's something else entirely...

Nice video games you have here.

There's more vidya in this thread than in your post sailor

Now share a spook or get the fuck out

A friend of mine told me recently that he couldn't finish Bioshock because the splicers freaked him out.

It made me remember my Bioshock playthrough and bashing the splicers' heads in with the wrench while shit talking them in a fake australlian accent. It didn't even occur to me that it could be a horror game.

>terrifies me on an existential level
How so? It makes you question reality and your role in it?

It is all a video game, your telling me you haven't played Boomy the Cat?

ur such a badass

>bashing the splicers' heads in with the wrench while shit talking them in a fake australlian accent
had a chuckle user thanks

>When the red gas makes you go batshit during the SWAT prologue
>When you get gassed with it again in the prison but nothing happens.

Chapter 2 can't come soon enough.

Here user

>That one room in Bioshock with the dummies that move when you aren't looking

>theres an item at the end of it, but theres lots of dummies standing around and you'll have to turn your back to them to pick up the item

literally so fuckin spooky

well the bear thing is better anyway, still wouldn't call it a "masterpiece"
the second one is just dull and the guy playing the father was terrible

>When I get out of here, I'LL EAT HIM ALIVE! DO YOU HEAR ME? I'LL KILL EM ALL!
>[wheezes]
>I'M SORRY

That's the thing though, I'm usually too stupid to notice shit like that, I don't even remember that sort of thing happening. I do remember that some of the mannequins bled if you hit them with a wrench.

>the guy playing the father was terrible
Your taste is awful as everyone has already pointed out and you should leave the thread, why are you still there?

Outlast turned to be great, dipshit.

>second one is dull
Get Lynks disease, faggot.

>Outlast
>Hide-n-seek simulator

Surely you didn't really mean to say that.

...

>hide-n-seek simulator
That's how it would work in real life, dumbass. Go play CS GO, kid.

Dead serious.
My aunt had Lynks, I know how terrible it can get.

Video games are fun.

That's just grainy footage from the Dust Bowl. That's not spooky.

Fucks sake, take it back

cute anime girl is cute

user i spent the better part of two weeks 100%ing this game including all the underwater collectibles. Thank fuck i didnt run into this. I have a giant phobia of sharks and would've had a heart attack. Holy fuck.

...

I'll never forgive myself for missing Wham City live.

As far as spooky goes, those first few playthroughs in Stalker got under my skin. And Bloodsucker village still freaks me out.

jesus christ fucking trigger warning

In every horror thread until you love it.

Alan Resnick is a fucking genius. I really hope Adult Swim keeps making him do shit.

Which video games are the most THIS IS MY SERMON?

I'd say Spec Ops, Postal II, and Blood

Call of Pripyat isn't as scary, but with the right atmosphere mods and spawns it can get terrifying right quick.

condemned still manages to scare me and i've played it a thousand times

And now some retard will post a "scared le epic maymay face" and quote either "Symbols have been compromised" or "Do not follow the little girl".

Gay as fuck faggot.

I don't understand any of these. Can someone explain further at least?

Don't forget to watch the accompanying video to THHPII, which is playing on the TV in the main video.

It's every bit as fucking strange as THHPII itself.

youtube.com/watch?v=453wgsWT5Ao

As someone who's been reading the SCP foundation for literal years and has even written a few (middling reception, but its a cool feel to have them up there), the fact that Cred Forums is apparently obsessed with this particular image really fucking annoys me.

Just some retarded lol so random "disturbing" videos.

It's more approachable than the vast majority of new garbage SCP immerses itself in.

Theres a guy who runs a pretty decent youtube channel about examining cool shit like this. He did some analysis of both the vids. Warning, he gets a bit melodramatic at times and theres also some serious reaches (like the horse apples segment in THHPII)

youtube.com/watch?v=mjBTAnCUbZc
youtube.com/watch?v=_2e5ia9j0TA

>dat fov

Obsessed with hating it cause its fucking stupid. Go back to red dot "as a" nigger

What is this Lynks disease bullshit? These videos pass off as poor attempts to recreate the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared crap.

>random
Everything has rhyme and reason though.
9gag might be more your speed.

Fake and gay

What is there to understand? Either you have Lynks or you don't, and if you do you just wash your hands to get rid of it.

Basically they're arthouse videos that are wrapped very tightly in metaphor. I don't usually recommend explanation videos, but Night Mind's videos on them are very good.

ayy

Are you new? You must've missed the dozens of threads with posts quoting the image
>hurr follow the little girl
>omg symbols compromised in a spoiler xd

Tbh this is the most cringeworthy and corny hit ever, how do you even take this seriously?

>What is this Lynks disease bullshit?
Why are you on Cred Forums if you haven't played Boomy the Cat at least twice?

But it doesn't wash off.

Lynks is a very serious disease. You don't want to get it.

I bet this Sam's been to prison

Check his ears

>just got Lynks
what games should I play before I get yucky ear?

>As someone who's been reading the SCP foundation for literal years and has even written a few (middling reception, but its a cool feel to have them up there),
I'm not sure you fully grasp that this sentence is just as cringeworthy as the image you quoted

any actual spooky games coming out? Only thing i can think of is friday the 13th but that seems more of a laugh.

Anyone excited for that atleast? I think its gonna be great

The only game you need my man

Oh come on, everybody can make these types of videos. Place your camera somewhere, record nothing for 9 minutes, then run in front of the camera wearing a blanket and after that abruptly end the recording.

Sources for inspiration: absurveillancesolutions.com/l/x1.mp4
absurveillancesolutions.com/l/x3.mp4

Edit the video adding some cryptic random messages like "THEY PRAY FOR YOUR DEATH. NEVER LOOK IN THE MIRROR. IT'S NOT YOU", add some retarded VHS effect all over that, put low humming noise instead of an audio track and you're ready for youtube. Retards will get spooked because of OH SO REAL IT'S LIKE LEAKED VIDEO FOOTAGE and some fags will even try to ANALYSE your video making stupid as fuck theories.

Clay Fighter.

I can only take your post as a poor attempt at getting a rise out of people, nobody could be this moronic. Do you even know what you're talking about?

Your hobbled ability to tell a story sounds like your own problem user

I always thought shit like "do not follow the little girl" was funny because it's such a common tripe that SCP even have a specific shorthand for it, like the world of the occult is clichéd and stupid.

>Oh come on, everybody can make these types of videos.
Everybody can theoretically make any type of video with the right equipment. It's a question of content, not medium. This is not something that should be explained to anyone past the age of 8, user

not only are you a joyless fuckwit but the whole thing went completely over your head to boot

well done

Outlast was painfully dull. Fuck off.

i second this

This particular type of content can be made even without proper equipment and talent. It lacks imagination, originality and basically everything else.

I third this

>enter room
>ammo crates errywhere

>enter larger, completely open room
>no enemies
>objective on exact opposite side of room

>big fucking machine thing that will obviously be loud as shit
>have to turn it on

>everybody can make these types of videos
Why isn't Cred Forums discussing your videos then you dumbass?
Tbh I've never seen a person missing the point so hard as you just did. Expecting a BAITED xD mass response right now

That is not at all what I was getting at.
Are you real? Your posts are a lot more random and thoughtless than the video itself.

>It lacks imagination, originality and basically everything else.
That's a very bold claim that I think proves you haven't watched the videos, or at least haven't absorbed them.

Perhaps you could tell me what parts lack originality?

like your mom last night lmao

blair witch looks like a bunch of retards running around the woods overly shaking their camera and yelling again
it looks like fucking ghosthunters: the movie

...

This is the closest thing to "everybody can record drone/industrial/noise" posts on Cred Forums I've seen on Cred Forums. Hilarious thing is, these people actually think they're some kind of nonconformist beacons of light blazing across the sea of ignorance

> It lacks imagination, originality and basically everything else.
What your posts lack however is coherency and making any fucking sense at all.

>everybody can record drone/industrial/noise
It's true. Anyone can do it.

Sure hit me up, we can make a collab record my man

Cool. I also have a few ideas for a creepy spoopy youtube video, so we can do that together too if you want.
My e-mail: [email protected]

No. But this thing did.

So sure, but not everybody can do it well.

Like, the Marble Hornet videos? anybody could do that, but none of its imitators where any good. They were too deep in their own nonsense to be understood by outsiders even within one episode, or entirely surface level, and very forgettable, on par with a screamer or stock cctv footage.

There are degrees of skill that come out in the final product.

Like Local 58? its dang solid stuff, mostly focused on nailing the feel of flicking through channels and discovering something you have never sen before, and never really knowing what the fuck that was.

youtube.com/watch?v=FdyknT4uchM

that aspect it nails so strongly it carries the rest, and others try, and fail wholesale.

That one seems to close to perfect for people, everybody tweaks it just a little, in different ways, and says its now perfect.

Yes, I too can be big Nasty J.G. Genesis Thirlwell Throbbing Foetus man

Don't pick on user, he's clearly on the Spectrum.

Why would you even bother making a webm out of this when the sound is half the reason this shit's so spooky.

Like just post the link nigga and be done with it youtube.com/watch?v=mw_HKzo9Ync

This one's also pretty unsettling: youtube.com/watch?v=ec7IN0KLWlU

I think THHPII had a website when it was released with lots of supplementary material. It was kind of like an ARG with lots of people combing through the files and trying to piece it together. It still isn't straightforward, but the common link was that everyone in the family was afraid of a (fake or not) disease named Lynx or something and the paranoia made them do insane shit. Very surreal.

Yeah nah fuck that.
youtube.com/watch?v=mjBTAnCUbZc

youtube.com/watch?v=mjBTAnCUbZc
Pretty thorough run through of everything it involved

That weird noise in the starting level somehow puts my hair on end. The rest of the game is meh. youtube.com/watch?v=XSVbeKbGiDs

The joke is on you.

The only thing that put me off and equally aroused me was looking at the end results to the patients of the crazed plastic surgeon. That shit was something also:
>bashing the splicers' heads in with the wrench while shit talking them in a fake Australian accent.
Its pretty much a given that Australians lack the concept of fear and will take on anything with a beer and weapon in hand. I should know.

I only remember the beginning of the Bioshock and the ending. Everything in between is a blur.

Yeah probably.

People just remember that it looked nice and had an interesting setting/story. The actual game part was pretty lackluster.

The game is suprisingly short so could be why, I'm replaying it and I'm flying through. Tbh it's not as impressive as I remember, but still better than 2 and WAY better than Infinite

i would pay good money to have that aired early morning on a weekend, fuck over all the people coming down watching tv.

People still watch tv in the morning?

youtu.be/zaILqRgR1oI

>People still watch tv?

This guys voice is aces

...

I prefer House. Bear works fine on its own as a commentary about pharmaceuticals. With House it was so strange you knew there was something deeper going on.

The website for the product from "unedited footage of a bear" was pretty neat.

...

Wut

Because the last few seconds of the video are fucking horrendous and that stupid poetry shit ruins the spooky.

Notice the webm ends before it.

Reminded me of
youtube.com/watch?v=u5HZQeQOUGs

Did someone apply Deep Dream to all the individual frames of the video or something? That's cool as shit.

Yep. Wish someone would make a less computationally expensive shader version of it for video games.

Hey Cred Forums remember Pressure

resident evil 4 was scary as shit.

duuuude OMG, I peed a little when that giant boulder almost crushed me haha

>That's how it would work in real life
No, in real life you would pick up a weapon and at least try to get a drop on your enemy and kill/incapacitate him.

Not everyone is a fucking pussy. Not to mention the main character is at least twice as fast as any enemy AND can run that fast with a fucking camera in front of his face.

It's not realistic, don't be a retard.

What game is this?

I can't play Alien Isolation.

My eyes are transfixed. I marvel at the sight of the numbers I have longed for since days lost somewhere in time.

How would you make games spookier?

More absolutely quiet disclaimer screens regarding disturbing content at the front of every game, like Resident Evil/Silent Hill

If I wanna ride this crazy train, I watch bear then house? Any others?

brink back Eternal Darkness styled metaspooks. Fake friend messages, fake drm claiming you can't play anymore, even playing the skype notification noise you fuck people up.

You listen to ozzy.

They are separate things, besides some same actors and props. I'd recommend Alen Tutorial, also made by Alan Resnick.

>Eternal Darkness styled metaspooks

Pic related is the most terrifying horror game in existence.

I literally can't play it.

>do not look at the night sky
I'm more confused than scared desu

I laughed.

Is This House Has People In It about Sonic autism?

Yeah I never got that about the speedy the cat thing, guess it was just a injection of humour.

i watched it all before, it doesn't really explain it other than "we're not given enough info to really understand what's going on, but that's the point". kind of a cop-out

holy shit is that some motha fuckin wendy vainity

MEEEOW MEEEEOWW IIIIII AAAAAAMMM AAAAAA CAAAAAAT

Jesus fucking christ blast from the past

Thank you user

I can't do it. That sound has always sent chills down my spine.

But I don't have notification sounds on for anything

The Bear video is a metaphor for drug addiction.

ghosts turned it on

I'm pretty scared of open water and I felt the same way about this game when I started playing it.
The fear completely goes away once you get a sub, you literally can't be hurt by anything but the biggest predators and they are so easy to avoid. It also got a lot better when I realized there was no increased danger at night so there was no need to frantically scurry back to my base when it started to get dark.

This game is the only survival game worth playing though imo. My only major grips is that once you get the submarine the map feels very small once you start to get oriented.

It just seems like it would be too difficult to do metaspooks nowadays. Everything has so much customization.

These faggots had a good thing going before the last bit, less is more

Im more afraid of sea creatures.

I legit freaked out swimming next to manta rays in Far Cry 3.
And actually can't complete the one super mario sunshine level where you have to clean the eel teeth.

That's exactly what makes it spooky. You know it shouldn't have happened.

>Oh I'll know it's a fake one

If the game does it well, you'll be into the game well enough to forget to check for that kind of stuff.

Modded Skyrim > Modded Oblivion

Nope look up gtav megalodon

The deep sea is a beautiful place, what part of it scares you so user?

>look it up
> $100 "micro" transaction
Cool thanks

I had an idea for a game that was entirely metaspooks. It's a VR game where you sit down at a computer and browse a fake message board that's been locked for ages. You register for an account to browse it, start flicking through various topics, looking at user profiles and checking out links to other fake websites and files. And then you start getting private messages

Would be fun if it eventually started sending fake steam messages instead of just in the game. Or sent emails to the account linked to your steam profile of something.

Or just had a guy stalk your VR house in game or something.

Would be fun for it to be an /x/ themed website about like conspiracies or occult shit.

Don't you just wish you were there?

Would be more fun without VR.

Did you know they discovered rivers underwater?

Fuck I clicked a gif without precautions.

...

...

...

there's a "boss fight" in pony island where the guy talks really slow, and somewhere in his speech he tells you a password, while a bunch of stuff tries to distract you. skype notification sounds, the game reads your friend list and spoofs having a random friend try to make fun of you for playing a game called Pony Island, that kind of thing.

only good part of the game really

I can't get spooked anymore unless the game is really abstract or surreal.

Not going to fool me.

Having never played bloodborne I found it oddly soothing.

no

...

I'm not fucking clicking that.

...

...

so lynk's disease doesn't exist, right?There's a running theme of everything contradicting themselves

...

Only thing that bothers me is

>codes are non-standard

>make up your own shit

whats the point of this then?

Rataoulli said it well

everyone can cook

not everyone can cook well

couldn't even split it.

why such a negative reaction to this?

>your destination is right behind you

that is both funny ahd horrifying

Is that slugboi

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_undersea_river

>this exists

even if I see the jumpscare coming from a mile away it still works on me

...

Of course it does. What sort of fish do you think swim in an underwater river?

its just brine isn't it?

I did'nt know real life had Sponge Bob physics

You'd be surprised.

I do remember Bioshock being top tier in the horror department, at least the first few hours when you're still learning stuff and feel defenseless.
>that splicer at the beginning
>that room where you grab the shotgun and all the lights turn off and you can hear the steps of them surrouding you
>those mannequins

It hyper dense salt deposits mixed with things like sulfur and a wide range of other harmful chemicals(usually in small quantities) depending on where it is.

You'd die swimming in it though.

>in every horror thread until you love it
>why such a negative reaction to this

I'm torn between two types of horror i like, one being the "unexpected horror" showing up in non-horror games and actual horror of playing a game with good atmosphere

So yeah, i still get spooked, sometimes i appreciate the "unintended" or "unexpected" horror a bit more than the normal one though

Only crazy shit, like creepy boogeyman jumping up in my face doesn't scare me. But something like SCP freaks me the fuck out, it's just so out of there.

Make shit chance based and hard to find so the "what the fuck just happened? Anyone else seen this?" factor is reasonably high.

I also always wanted a game to fuck up with the skybox, like if you accidentaly glitch out through the floor, some Lovecraftian shit would spawn at the bottom of the skybox or something like that.

playing through Amnesia rn

it's kind of spooky but only if I play it alone at night

Cry of Fear is pretty good

...

Great observation reddit

Yes, but I engage pretty heavily with everything I encounter so if something spooky happens - provided it's well written and makes sense within the game - I'll be spooked. I also cry when sad things are done well.

I also got legitimately terrified by a lifesize Shrek cut out thing in a window that I saw in the corner of m eye once and was afraid of sausages as a child, so...

Agreed I only find games slightly spooky, most are just jump scares which isn't spooky.

Games are such a fantastic medium for horror and spookyness, it's almost been entirely wasted by hollywood style horror games.

A truly spooky terrifying game is needed, we need something that is special and we have yet to see it, an average human imagination can conjure up much more horrifying things.

I started playing lifeweb. First game thats spooked me in awhile, and first multiplayer game ever to spook me. I think it might be the only decent iteration of a multiplayer horror game, more or less.

>How it would work in real life

In real life people check under all the beds and in every closet.

All ocean games need big horrifying sea monsters.

Could someone send me some Thoughtcoins? I need that Panera Bread!

Condemned got me with jump scares, but jump scares aren't really enough.

more jumpscares

Silent Hill 2, when you are going room to room in the hotel and he rooms are dark. That atmosphere was incredible. It still makes me uncomfortable.

who is this semen demon?

How big we talking?

A game with mainly a camera and shit like this happening would be pretty spooksville.

This House is scarier and a better ARG, but Unedited Footage is the better overral short

...

I wouldn't say This House was scarier. It just had more content.

NGL seeing an alien for the first time while blasting "Comin' From Down Unda" in the background would delete my sides so hard i actually might die.

Laughter as a weapon could be lethal as all heck if done 1000% perfectly.


Now excuse me, this song has now become the thread leitmotif.

I guess that falls down to subjectivity, because This House kept me up at night after I first saw it. It had this fantastic feeling of hopelessness, like you have no idea what is going on and you can't save yourself from it, it's some great despair.

In fact, seeing NM's hour and a half video that explained it was what made it completely not scary. The whole explanation is kinda boring, almost feels like a cop out

>this game I spent money on is no good... maybe if I spend MORE money on it...

Anyone remember that free indie game released like two years ago, in which you browsed text and video files about a town where weird shit was happening. I remember the version I played was still not completed

The thing is that many people mistake "jumpscare simulator" as spooky.

Even a shred of paper falling in front of you from an unexpected angle can scare you. The best kind of spook is the one that makes you think, the one that lingers in your head.

Take pic related for example, they are not only spooky because they jump at you from a hidden place and start swiping at you, you can literally hear the person inside the headcrab screaming, and you might think it is just angry gibberish, but if you reverse the audio you can hear exactly what they are screaming about: OHHHHHHHHHHH GOD HELP ME!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Implicating that they are still alive inside there, cannot move their body and constantly in pain from the headcrab

A jumpscare can spook you for 10 seconds, but it is stuff like this that can still startle you everytime you think about it

...

Like the silent hill PT. I heard that there was something tjat jumpscares you from the window but i never saw it even if I deliberately tried to trigger it.

Probably one of the reasons why FNAF caught on, with the Golden Freddy shit and the "It's me" flashes

Have you played first person Pac-Man alone in the dark?

I only consistently get spooked by open water (subnautica) and aliums, like the grey kind, but at least that makes killing them more satisfying. I need more games where I can machinegun the little fucks.

for me, most horror games stop being scary once I can fight the spookmen and/or see them up close. so, dead space wasn't scary the instant I got a plasma cutter, and amnesia stopped after I allowed myself to be caught.

adorable animu girl is adorable.

>in real life you would pick up a weapon and at least try to get a drop on your enemy
Good luck!

...

They never have, but with VR taking off now, a horror game might actually not be a complete waste of time. Looking forward to it

No it doensn't
