no idea why no one is talking about it but WALK has got to be one of the most incredible horror games ive seen in a LONG time. its so simple, you dont know anything, all you know is to walk. the fixed perspective was nothing short of genius. id love to see more games utilize that.

WALK even has a secret ending. Apparently it sends morse code messages through your dual shock controller when the monster approaches you and the controller vibrates. You have to type the words it tells you and you get transported into a burning forest, where you have to reach the top of the tower and the monster chases you as a harpy and eventually kills you. Then it cuts back to the little girl walking. lol

No one lives under a lighthouse does a similar thing to WALK. It has a scene where you play from the perspective of the monster. It's about you showing up on an island with a lighthouse where the previous caretaker has disappeared, but something is not quite right. I highly recommend it.

Mothered makes me so angry. Imagine having your consciousness ripped from your body and placed into a machine, you are awake but cannot control what the machine body does. You are forced to helplessly watch your own mother, someone you loved more than anything in the world, treat you like garbage and feed you literal dirt. The few desperate times you are able to override the bot programming and cry out to her, she reacts with fear and hostility. I know it's a prequel to the main game, and this is a semi-spoiler, but man I hope she got revenge on her parents in the end.

32:15 To anyone who's curious, this is a rare example of "second person" (not first person or third person) gameplay. Another example that I can think of that does this is a mission in Driver: San Francisco, where you see through the eyes of the person who's chasing you with a car, while you're controlling your own car through his POV. It's a really fascinating gameplay/storytelling concept.

I always thought Mothered was about surviving an abusive home- you don't see a mother you see a monster - to survive you become a robot that she can program - you have warning systems in place so that you don't make mother angry- and escaping can feel futile.

Growing my grandpa is disturbingly beautiful, and despite how growing a loved one is completely unrealistic, the struggles that Adrienne goes through hits really close to home. I too had parents on the brink of divorce, constantly fighting, shortly after my grandma passed. Course I never turned to blood rituals and pulsating organisms in my basement but what Adrienne yearns for is exactly how I felt when I was in the same spot. Gives the horror of it all a much more personal feel.

The funny thing about heartworm is that exposure therapy tends to not be the greatest idea for trauma, especially because exposure therapy aims to force you into the highest reaction you can experience and keep doing that until it no longer effects you for people with trauma it tends to causes people to shut down and possibly make everything just worse, pushing past the trust thermaclide and then you need a new therapist

Earlier this year I woke up from a hit-and-run that I don't remember, I was brought home to stay with my family, my mother is a gaslighter at the best of times, but now I had a head trauma causing paranoia and PTSD. I was convinced there was some elaborate conspiracy going on. Can't believe there's a game that's essentially about the same thing. Then again, as I recovered, I was playing MGSV, so apparently there's some recurring themes here.

I found Yames - the developer of Growing my Grandpa - from Markiplier's gameplay, and prior to that, he had played many of his other works on his 3 SCARY GAMES series. Yames makes such good games that resonate a certain type of terror to me, personally, and I love his work. the FAITH trilogy is another one I would recommend. Growing up Catholic, the occult and supernatural stuff terrified me the most... and the trilogy cemented that childhood terror I had. Good stuff.

Echostasis is scary because it feels like it’s exactly what’s happening with AI art now, it’s currently creating things that a human mind inputs (which is already making artists lose opportunities) but in the future it could get better and better, until the point where you couldn’t tell the difference between a human’s work, and an ai’s soulless mass-produced generation.
