/vr/ - Retro Games

just replayed this for the rebirth ending. i love it. i think the first game is a little more satisfying because of the story and its length. but this game is so engrossing on a psychological level because the story is so mature in terms of the way it tackles characters who are deeply disturbed, suicide is a pervasive theme and you are playing as a guy who is fucked in the head. the sound design is so horrifying that i still get freaked out and feel dread after beating it 7 times over many years. toluca prison is suffocating, i wanted to take breaks and stop because i was getting scared. i love how the game doesn't hold your hand, you just have to explore the town and figure it out. the graphics are still great. after all these years, i can't complain about anything. it's a masterpiece

Just finished pic related for the first time (never had a PS2 growing up). Oh my god, what a game, if you can even call it that. I don't think I've ever broke down crying from a game before. I got the "In Water" ending. I went in thinking I would relax and enjoy a good horror game for October (which I did), but I didn't expect the rush of emotions. Still processing this.

I made it to the hospital. Why am I so afraid to continue?
