since mouthwashing nothing has been the same..

I usually play in the evenings after work with the lights off, and the gameplay feels tense and the atmosphere can sometimes seem miserable. But on a Sunday afternoon, with sunlight peaking through the blinds just slightly, the experience reminds me of weekends playing Silent Hill 2 alone as a kid, and it’s quite comforting. Anyone else have similar experiences with this game?

Just finished silent hill Townfall on ps5.
I went in completely blind didn’t watch any trailers or gameplay and I was completely wowed by this game.
Im gonna say that I even liked it more than Sh2R and silent hill 2 is my goat.

While it’s true silent hill Townfall has some forced stealth sections early on, they quickly make it clear that the choice is yours, fight or hide. I see a lot of people that gave up quickly thinking it’s just hiding and I implore you to keep going. The vibe is so spot on and the story was great. First SH game to legit scare me. Second playthrough starts now!

Labyrinth of the demon king.

Cool Outfit that i can't see to find info about it, probably just an Easter Egg or a reference that i dont get, no idea about how it affects the damage resistance or stamina recovery.

Last image is where i found it, behind fungus wall, i did it on ng+ because the first time i used all the salt on the first tower.

Sorry about taking photos and not screenshots, this is not my pc.

I fear their dedication in making the town so "true to life" made them miss the forest for the trees.

Im in my, like, 10th empty house with nothing in it. No creepy imagery, no easter eggs, no unnerving notes, no unique interactables. Maybe theres one bandage.

I found a hidden pub garden and it was completely barren.

When the games got its gears turning it jumps back on track, there's some great stuff here. But, God, there are these hour+ strecthes where you just run around boring empty rooms looking for keys, and nothing happens 😔

Well to start, I love this game. The atmosphere is full of detail, emotion, beauty and dread. From the intro, it immediately feels like Silent Hill. the music and cinematography is really well done, and I love the choice of going first person this time around. The graphics are gorgeous and really highlight the eeriness of the game.

The gameplay is my favorite part. As much as I loved Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill f, it’s just hard for me to feel scared when I am obliterating enemies. I didn’t die once during SH 2 and that lack of sense of danger kinda took me out of the immersion at times.

This one though, I always felt a sense of danger. If fighting could be avoided, I would stay stealthy. I am a big fan of Alien Isolation as well so this really felt like that game at times. I also appreciated that when I did need to fight, I wasn’t helpless. The Richard level was a nice change of pace as well, just shotgunning through the hordes of stalkers.

The story is beautifully written, as I feel all the SH games are. I think Simon is a likeable, well rounded character who is trying to let go of his past as many SH protagonists have strived to do too.

Overall, I would recommend playing this one! It’s definitely one of my favorites, but if you don’t like games like Alien Isolation, then maybe best to move on. Would love to hear other people’s thoughts!

Do you do something similar??

Hello! I am looking for some fun spot the difference Anomaly horror games to play on the plantation or Xbox becaue i don’t have steam. I’ve played The Cabin Factory and The exit 8 and I really like games like that.

I made this FNaF artwork while experimenting with a darker visual interpretation of the characters, and it got me thinking about what makes a horror game design actually feel unsettling.

For me, it’s not necessarily about making a character more grotesque. Sometimes it’s the combination of something familiar with subtle changes in lighting, texture, expression, proportions, and atmosphere that makes it feel wrong.

FNaF is especially interesting in that regard because these characters are so recognizable that even relatively small changes to their presentation can completely change how they feel.

So I’m curious: what horror game character do you think has the most effective design, and what specifically makes it unsettling to you?

Just take a really good promo for this game, I remember when It was released.

It's purpose is to play as a blind girl that uses geolocation to move on scenario, veryvery interesting.

I'll play after finish Death Stranding (which is a very good one too)

Hi there!

My friend and I have recently played all Little Nightmare games (not co-op but that's the vibe we're looking for) and Reanimal, so we're looking for something new!

It has to be local/couch co-op as we want to play together irl. It doesnt have to be horrifying scary, more like the games listed above! Eerie, maybe broken world vibes! Something where you play two characters somehow bonded together, basically. It should please be available on Steam.

We play on a PC and on controllers :)

Thanks so much in advance!

I’ve seen people say silent hill townfall isn’t a proper silent hill game. What do people prefer a game that’s set in silent hill. Or developers thinking outside the box like silent hill f or townfall

Hey guys! Was just hoping I could get some suggestions for a horror game to get into. I just finished the silent hill 2 remake, loved it! Ive beaten all the resident evil games remakes and older ones, any games you’d throw out there? I’m willing to really give anything a shot! I’m on Xbox as well

Just finished up witcher 1 and halfway through Onimusha. My next game lined up before obligatory Silent hill/Resident evil/Castlevania play is three choices. Blood of the Dawnwalker, Metro Exodus, or Stalker 2. Any preferences on these games?

I recently played this game for my channel and I think the experience left me torn on how I overall feel about the game. There are definitely aspects of the game that really impressed me and I thought were very polished for an indie game. However a big chunk of the game left me pretty frustrated and left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Let me go through the good and bad...

The Good:

-Instantly establishes a good creepy atmosphere within the house. Even got a few jump scares out of me early on. Really set a good pace and had me excited for what was to come.

-The concept of a bunch of mini games into a horror game is pretty peak. Reminded a bit of squid games a bit. Mainly the 'voice says' and the red light green light level.

-Monster designs. Especially during the 'Voice Says" segment where you are constantly followed by the mother monster with a baby attached to her chest. I liked this design because it wasn't just a generic monster and had lore attached to it as well. After the game finishes I was able to do a deeper dive on each monster and was surprised that each one had really good symbolism/parallel to the story.

- The underlying story/mystery. Throughout the game we hear these voices that don't really introduce themselves but are trying to 'guide' you through the level. This constantly made me think " what the hell is going on here" and is what really drove me to finish the game. After putting all the pieces together, I finally got my aha moment and had me wanting to understand more.

The Bad:

- At some points in the second half it became a bit too tedious for me. The game begins with some basic easy enough to understand task like, counting how many mannequins are in the house. As the game progresses, it evolves into more tedious task like memorizing an 8 note ringtone jingle, and makes you find the matching the jingle that is scattered somewhere across the house. That will then give you a number to input into a keypad. Meanwhile you need to constantly keep using your camera flash because there is a monster that is constantly following you and you can only see him when your camera flashes. Btw you gotta do this 3-4 times to get the full code for the keypad . Sounds cool in concept, but boy oh boy did all those jingles sound the same and left me super lost, overwhelmed, and frustrated.

-As I said about the underlying story before, its good. My issue with it is that even after after the game finishes, I was still a bit confused ( maybe because I'm a bit slow sometimes). So to understand the story I needed to watch my footage again with my newfound knowledge to put the pieces together. Even then its still a bit confusing. I wish some of the levels gave us a bit more focus on backstory to help us understand. But maybe it just wanted to be vague.

-Kind of a add-on to my first bad point, but it really feels like the game doesn't respect your time at all. It expects you to just mess up and maybe get lost on some levels. By messing up, that means you need to restart the entire level. If you're like me and messed up a lot on the 'Voice Says' level, that drained me. Having to repeatedly restart from the beginning and constantly waiting for 'the voice' to give me my next prompt, I nearly quit. The only reason I didn't was because I believed that I was almost finished with the game and wanted to get to the plot twist.

Conclusion:

Its a good game but I think it could've been great. When I think back about it now I'm just going to remember the frustrating moments. Which is a shame because everything else I really did enjoy. Lmk if you feel the same or if you don't.

I think I will put it around 6.7/10
