Scary Stuff
I love a good scare - as long as it's of the entertainment kind. Real scares? I hate those with a passion. Anyway, I was flipping through my most recent edition of Game Informer (need to renew btw) when a game was mentioned in an article as having terrifying atmosphere. Well since Hollywood hasn't been able to deliver the screams - the last good horror movie for me was Below back in '01 - I figured I'd look into it.
Well the game may be just a bit much for me. Watch the vid to find out why. If you're really brave, do as the game developers advise and watch it in the dark with headphones on.
I have the demo, and I've only played for about ten minutes so far. It's hard to play more than that, since I literally jump at every sound. If the game didn't have those horrifying monsters, I would likely already have breezed through. Creepy atmosphere = good. Scary shit that pops out at you like a nightmare-in-the-box = bad. I like to think though, that I won't react like this dude did:
If I find it, I'll probably get it - and play it with lights on and headphones off. XD

I tried playing this game (in the dark with headphones) but for me the way the movement happens in the game (and others) I get motion-sick if I play for more than 20 minutes. We're talking severe dizziness and nausea.
For myself (a self-proclaimed coward when it comes to horror), I didn't find it overly scary. It was disconcerting though - I wouldn't want to be the main character but I was more frustrated than anything 'cos I got stuck and couldn't advance further in the game.

That sucks that you get motion sickness, though I suppose it's good that you can play for a little bit before it hits. :)
Oh great, now that a self proclaimed coward has played, I'm gonna HAVE to play now. *steels nerves* I'll play... as soon as I get off work. XD
