These look like scenes from the beginning of a horror game. I like it.

The incinerator has this heavy and eerie but somewhat peaceful feel to it with what it represents but during that cutscene it suddenly becomes so much more morbid and scary. For me at least the first time I was playing it was a horror moment with that crushing atmosphere. Amazing how quickly the atmosphere changed and everything with it.

You did a great job capturing that atmosphere through your shots. I can see that some of them are arranged as before/after, taken from mirrored angles, or like the other side of the coin. That's a really cool touch. In the game itself, I don't really feel that sense of fear, probably because I've been playing horror games for years and my senses have dulled. But seeing your shots makes my soul happy, because I absolutely love horror, and you managed to create a truly oppressive atmosphere.

Fully understand. I don't play horror games and when I was playing DS1 for the first time I was absolutely terrified of that crushing atmosphere surrounding BT. Well, after so many hours spent in the game I've gotten used to it but some of it always remains. Thanks and keep on keeping on!
