My lounge is so big there's a mist in it.

By PT you mean personal training, right?

Weirdly, the least realistic part of that vid was the digital alarm clock display.

home-owner needs to change their lampshades.  that one in the hall would do my nut, and the smaller ones appear to block more light than anything!  "oi pal, is this a lamp or an ornate impractical torch?"

Yeah this also looks too scary to actually play, gret.

Given this will be a fully featured game rather than a demo, let's see how it plays/appears to play before mehhing too hard.  I recommend the articles as I like the way the chap talks about it.

Someone help me write my horror idea into a game plz

A maze set in a mine that just goes deeper and deeper would be cool. You end up connecting to some spirit who acts like they guide you but sometimes gives you bad advice. "Look behind you" Ah shit jump scare, hide and seek as you wait and hope for whatever it is to fuck off. Telling you to go up instead of down and you end up in another mini-maze as the sound creaks and fucks convincing the players there's something there.

I've got the idea pictured in my head anyway, looks good but will cost about 40mil so we got a deal yeah?

Indeed. Visually my idea of an awesome VR game, this, 'cept with GTA gameplay minus the Housering. People are the main problem, though; they always are. Animation chops aren't there yet.

Ideal walk-'em-up, DS. In the style of The Trap Door.

shit

The 1990s, when some PC people considered The 7th Guest a good idea. All the graphics of an FMV, trapped in a hat. Imagine that!

Maybe The Supremes moved in.

Its got potential but just feels very generic. The later bits were alright though.

Then again I noped out of PT after 15 minutes, so...

Ravenholme genuinely shit my up first time through. Aliens versus Predator (99) on PC too, as the Marine was terrifying. Of recent stuff, Lone Survivor is wonderfully fucked up and unnerving at times (only played 90 minutes though).

The probably best all round design was Dead Space, I adored my playthrough of that.

I thought this was set in the UK? Another smack against that terrible voice acting. What is everyone's pinnacle for gaming horror design btw? I'm replaying the Shalebridge Cradle and I'm amazed how effective the sound design is at creeping me the fuck out despite the 2004 graphics.

Shalebridge is excellent.  PT did so many things right though is obviously limited.  Dead Space did big budget body horror extremely well and had enough scares to sate me.

I unno, Silent Hill 2 managed that descent into a living nightmare better than most anything I can recall.  Even the loading screens were unsettling.  Cracking jump scare too (THUMP).  I've missed so many horror games though.  What little I've played of ZombiU is very tense, though not horrific as such.  Never gave Amnesia enough time.  FEAR had the odd moment.
