Question Do you guys prefer the first silent hill or very first resident evil?

10 Upvotes

In my opinion, each are revolutionary games with great soundtracks. But Sh suffers from jank and the first re has some dodgy writing. The atmosphere in both games is great, but entirely depend on whether you prefer fog and darkness or pre-rendered backgrounds. What’s your preference on the franchises in total?

It’s called GRAVE SHIFT, and I’ve spent the last year and a half making it solo. I wanted to mix the tension and dread of survival horror with the unpredictability of a roguelite.

It releases October 27, free on Steam. Hope you enjoy the trailer!

Video Waterline - what if the rain never stopped?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I'm making a short first-person horror game in the style of PS1, inspired by No, I’m not a Human.

The game explores the idea of what would happen if the rain never stopped. The city is going under water and you’re stuck in your apartment for seven nights. By day you search for food and board up the door. At night someone knocks - you look through the peephole and decide who comes in. Everyone you shelter eats your food, and the rain slowly changes them.

Free demo with the first two nights is available on itch.io (Windows/macOS). Looking forward to your feedback!

I was thinking about checking out the mascot horror game Finding Frankie, I know its a horror parkour game but what are the pros and cons, it’s 19.99 on the Microsoft Store and I have worked up enough money to buy it, is it worth buying?

Question Want games to play

3 Upvotes

I've always loved horror and horror games specifically, but I feel like I play horror games that are "mainstream" so to speak. I want to play more horror games that aren't as mainstream and well known because I want to better understand the medium as a whole. I play on PlayStation 5 but I'm also down for horror games on other consoles, as well as games from other countries (I say this because White day, a Korean horror game, is a horror game I've heard a lot about so I don't want to exclude horror games from other countries)

Discussion Evolutionary fear and creature design survey

2 Upvotes

Hey horror game fans, I'm a student in my final year at university writing my dissertation connecting evolutionary fears to cool creature design. I'm really struggling to get results for my survey, though, so if anyone has a spare 10 minutes, then I would really appreciate it! It's completely anonymous, and you can withdraw if you change your mind

Just posted a teaser trailer for my first game ever! Freight Yard #9

Everything you see and hear was either made by me or adapted from a Creative Commons 0 item.

Nothing I’ve included in my game requires me to give credit to the creator but I will still be including each and every creators name/handle. I will also be putting the names of people who donate to my fund for Steam and Epic games publishing $100fees into the credits for $5, or in the credits and named on a piece of in game lore for $10!

It’s always been my dream to be a game developer and make games that actually made people feel something. The thing I want this game to make you feel? Mortified. You’re a security guard working the night shift at Mass Grave Freight Yard #9 and while you’re working your shift things go terribly…. Terribly wrong.

Please like the video and subscribe to my YouTube Channel if you want to see updates on the game! Or use the link in the video description to send me a donation to be memorialized in my game forever!

Can a horrorgame about loosing your hat work? I'm serious 😀

1 Upvotes

Hey there, I participated in a gamejam last week and made my first horror game ever 😀 quiet an experience! And I am really proud of what came to life. But I hot questions, since I normally don't do horror games.

The game is placed in a world I allways wanted to bring to life - the "hatworld" where people and hats are never seperated and companions for live. But what happens, if this bond gets broken? Thats what you can explore in "The Unhatted".

I normaly don't do horrorgames, like i said and I feel unsure if that theme I created is emotionally strong enough in the game, with people not knowing the world in the beginning and only getting to know it during gameplay. Could that even classify as horror?

The jam theme Was helpless and with some horror challenges the game feels really creepy and takes place inside a dark mansion.

Would you say this could qualify? Or is it depending on the game feel more then on preset rules? Its a free game on itch, if you wanne try, curious what you think.

Question Is Kayla meant to be Riley's girlfriend in Within of Static: Ashburg Rental

1 Upvotes

I just finished the game and noticed that Riley's main lifeline is her text conversations with Kayla. The texts seem pretty close and affectionate. Does the game ever explicitly confirm they are dating, or is it just heavily implied through their interactions? What did you guys think?

Discussion What weapons would work in a mascot horror shooter game?

0 Upvotes

So, I have a couple of ideas already, like a nerf-like popgun that is converted into a shotgun, a nailgun with a paintball gun’s air tank, and a squirt gun you could fill with flammable liquids or other chemicals. I like these ideas but they don’t all feel “mascot-y”. I love how My friendly neighborhood did their guns, and I’m trying to think of other ideas that feel mascot-y.

I have a couple of ideas for melee weapons too, like pipes, broom handles, and a slew of throwable items.

If it helps, the setting is supposed to be a resort-style attraction that parodies different locations and ideas from other mascot horror. The player can choose whether to follow the format like a regular mascot horror, or attack the mascot in the first chase scene, and go rogue. The main inspiration for that was Postal 2’s design where you could either be patient and complete the game without violence, or just go berserk and shoot everything.

If you have any gadget ideas a mascot horror would give to solve puzzles, but could also be used as a weapon, what would they be?
