It knows what you are scared of and exploits it with sadistic beauty. You've probably heard this before, but this game is terrifying. But, to tell you the truth, I might not have been able to get through it if I had. Perhaps the biggest strike against me, though, is that I never expected to get the game myself, and so watched a Let's Play of it a few months before I got it. Playing during the night only was too impractical for me. Let me start by saying this: I did not play this game as recommended. VideoGame Not Perfect, but Absolutely Terrifying Regardless Unless something better comes along, I think I'm stuck not being able to enjoy the horror elements of games anymore. The walls, paintings, etc.hell even friggin' drawers. Everything in the game is there to make you afraid. Sometimes you'll feel as if you're the smallest thing in the universe. (At least try to play it at night) The atmosphere is constantly on you. Don't even try to do it any other way, it blows the immersion. Headphones and playing at night are a must. It still gives me chills thinking about it. The whispering and voices in your mind, the creaks and wind howling in that damned castle.Brr. The sounds are quite well made.that's really what gets you sometimes. Running from mutilated, deformed fleshies is what you will be most concerned about. It's not terrible, but obviously not the first thing on your mind. Say what you will about the story it's not exactly the game's selling point. This game removes that commonality as a whole the only way to live is to hide.
Most survival/horror games at least give you someway to defend yourself. VideoGame I'll never be scared of another horror game again.
