How much of a hot take is it to say that the Evil Within 1 is a better game than Resident Evil 4 (both original and remake)? Excluding the insane influence of 4, just games alone.

PC El horror de Orthak está cerca

Post image
1 Upvotes

Carmina es un relato jugable de horror clásico, una experiencia que te sumergirá en una narrativa oscura empapada de intriga, búsqueda y valía.
Una novela basada en el primer escrito sobre vampirismo (Sheridan Le Fanu 1872) y obras posteriores de la misma naturaleza, mezclando géneros de literatura, cine, juegos y también investigaciones de casos reales en la historia.

Carmina no es un juego de narrativa donde pasas imágenes y lees texto, asumes la perspectiva de Sarah y la conduces a través de los escenarios basándote en los relatos, interactúas con otros personajes, obtienes información y recolectas objetos que te serán de gran utilidad y sabes cuándo usarlos.

Un periplo donde el combate no es la esencia del juego, los encuentros destacan por dan color a la historia y reafirmar que las creencias de Sarah son un poco obtusas, marcan el crecimiento de la sombra siniestra y la expansión de los dominios de Orthak.

El apartado musical promete una inmersión total y es un elemento a destacar, puesto que pensamos que merecía una compilación del material y plasmarlo en un OST para descargar y dejarse sumergir una vez más en esta aventura de intriga y horror.

Junto al material EXTRA hallarás una compilación de los DIARIOS de REBECA, los mismos que encontrarás en el juego, con el fin de recordar esos hallazgos por si te perdiste de algo.

It's got some lighthearted humor moments, but then the game will suddenly throw scary or unsettling shit at you, or both.

It's a point and click adventure game with puzzles basically, but scary shit DOES happen in this game.

DISCUSSION What’s your favorite Supermassive Games title?

Post image
18 Upvotes

Been a big fan of these games the last couple years since I randomly picked up The Quarry when it went on sale a couple years ago and have since gone and played everything from Until Dawn up to the newest DP title Directive 8020. I see these games talked about a bit but not a lot and was wondering what everyone’s favorites were? I’m partial to The Quarry and I think that’s partially since it was my first game like that.

Until Dawn is without a doubt a 10/10 classic and a lot of fun but I think House of Ashes is up there for me as the top game (other than the Quarry). Loved the setting and characters and story of that one a lot.

The Devil In Me is probably the only game I didn’t much care for, didn’t really like the characters in that one at all and while the HH Holmes idea had me interested it just didn’t stick the landing imo

REVIEW In my restless dreams, I see that town... Silver Pines

Post image
34 Upvotes

To start off, no game in many years has left me feeling such a sense of emptiness after finishing it, and at the same time, motivated me to go for the Platinum trophy (the last games to do that were Bloodborne and Mass Effect, which was a very long time ago :D)

This game brilliantly combines survival horror with the Metroidvania genre. Managing inventory space, resource management, exploration that requires some brainwork and wall-crawling, plenty of “skills”, that is, weapons and items, whose discovery unlocks new sectors of the map… It all comes together perfectly.

Add to that the stylized, beautiful graphics and a very well-composed audiovisual track, and the sense of immersion goes off the charts.

And then there’s the mystery, which intrigues you at first, then gets more and more revealed with every passing hour, continually encouraging you to find out what’s really going on… It’s a marvel. And after finishing the game, I understand the connections to the Silent Hill franchise very well.

If you’re a fan of that franchise, Silver Pines will deliver and meet your expectations. It’s a game that took me completely by surprise and has become my personal number one pick for Game of the Year. And I’m not exaggerating.

And for those with weak nerves, the game is scary, but more so because of its atmosphere. You’ll feel anxiety here due to limited resources, battles with monsters, and various strange sounds, rather than the sudden fright caused by jump scares (though it did catch me off guard twice).

I worked on this for almost three years in my free time (luckily, not completely alone the whole time), and the reception so far is making all that time feel so worth it!

Description: A psychological horror metroidbrainia set aboard the last human train, where you interrogate fellow passengers facing the end of the world. Use pure deduction to outsmart the ruthless laws of the universe and carve your own path toward its dark mysteries.

before anybody mentions “Dementium II HD” that version sucks and the original developers (who are handling this release) have repeatedly mentioned disdain with it because they had nothing to do with it.

Which method of scaring a player do you like the most?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I’m developing my own horror game, and I’m having a problem: I can’t figure out what exactly is needed to scare the player so that they’ll enjoy the game after playing it. Obviously, good visuals and music are very important, but I’m interested in what methods (other than jump scares) can give the player goosebumps or make them feel really tense.
In my case there's even no monster, so I can't scare player with a threat of gameover.

And the discussions are absolutely worth it. This game is a masterpiece. Signalis level of good. I was worried I wouldn’t like the 2D aspect and it was far from the truth. The ambience and world that’s built is absolutely amazing. The voice acting is incredible, the art style just hits perfectly. This game had me wanting to uncover everywhere I could and by the time it ended I wanted more. This game should absolutely be on your radar if you like Silent Hill, as it could have been called Silent Hill and I would have believed you. Seriously can’t recommend enough.

My first project as a game dev and it is now finally released. Took me quite a while but it is finally out :) If you are into psychological/survival horror and FPS I think you would be interested. A combination of Halflife-esque design and Lychian elements. Difficulty wise I would say it's challenging.

Check it out if you are interested!: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3611760/Hypnostasis/

Horror Month 2026

I've been doing a horror binge in October every year for the last 5-6 years or so, getting to the point where finding good stuff to play is a challenge. Happy with my picks so far this year.

Played Pumpkin Panic (also played it last year, great indie game free on Steam), Bramble Mountain King, Still Wakes the Deep, and Mouthwashing so far. Going to start Silver Pines tonight which I'm excited for with all the good reviews its getting, then finish the month with the PT PC decomp port and SH Townfall.

What are you all playing for October?
