/vr/ - Retro Games

I wonder if the artists who drew the backgrounds are still alive.
I think they were pretty badass. The rooms were pretty detailed and nice to look at.

Alone in the dark is another one that deserves a mention.
The grandad of tank control survival horrors.
The polygons may not have aged very well, but back then this game was mindblowing.

You had a whole mansion to explore, in-game books to read, lovecraftian horrors and shit.
And bugs. Potentially hilarious and gamebreaking.

This game also had a certain vibe of mistery to it.
The sequels sucked, tho.

Reminder to never mess with dancing ghosts.
Or sitting ghosts.

Silent Hill was probably the best survival horror for PSX.
There's just nothing else that gives you that feeling of dread and isolation.

Lost in a big city to explore, no idea of what the fuck is going on, monsters prowling the streets and the creepiness of switching to the alternate reality.
Even though you could fight off the monsters, the fear element was never lost thanks to limited resources and well designed ambients.
The sequels were good too.

I wish I could forget it to play it again.

>>5800596
>>5800636
>>5800663
Good choices.
AITD was my first horror game, I used to play it on my ancient 486. Waxworks was cool too.
I only found out about clock tower when it came out for playstation as "the first fear"
Resident Evil 1 gave me nightmares, especially when meeting the first zombie.
I never finished it. The monsters were too badass toward late game.

>>5800596
Nothing will ever top this horror gem in the pre-ps1/n64 gen of gaming. Even the ps1 versions don't hold a candle to the snes one. Clock tower 3 was extremely good I must say. Weren't they supposed to make a movie? Also, isn't Nightcry for pc related? Damn, you got me all fired up. Any others with the feel of snes clock tower? Don't care if it's retro.

>>5800701
I was disappointed in finding out Nightcry was a port of a mobile game, so I skipped it.
I have a vague recollection of a couple rpgmaker games that were on the silent-hillish side, but I can't think of anything with the same gameplay and feel as clock tower for snes.

>>5800596
>It just wasn't the same
PS1 Clock Tower is a fucking awesome slasher movie simulator, I don't get the hate for it. It's different in a good way.
Clock Tower 2 on the other hand...

>>5800701
>>5800718
I remember there was a fan remake, but it derailed into a completely different game called remothered. I haven't played that one but it looks like a standard modern survival.
I think there was also another project that was more like clock tower but I can't remember the name. I think there was a lets play and some screenshots but it was indie stuff, so probably vaporware.

>>5800732
Google gives me nothing, are you sure?

>>5800764
I tried looking for it but I can't find it either.
I could swear I saw it years ago, it looked similar to clock tower which is why it left an impression.
Maybe I just dreamed it? Or was the game mandela effected out of existence?
I'll post later if I find it and the thread is still alive.

last halloween i played a few horror games for fun. re-played re4 and gamecube, bioshock (not retro, i know), then played sanitarium, harvester, amnesia, and clock tower on SNES. clock tower ended up being my favorite by a mile.feels like you're playing a horror movie. really atmospheric and tense, especially when scissor man makes his first appearance. great fucking game.

>>5800596
such a great game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir6AeUbE6X8&t=1061s

>>5800831
I'm back, I found it by searching:
horror game "clock tower"
On page 4.
Wretcher, that looks like the one I remember.

Horrible SEO, and development seems pretty dead.
Pic related, found on the dev website.
I tried the demo, it's old and a little rough around the edges but it looked promising.

I wonder whatever happened to it.

>>5800596
>Clock Tower is one of my favorite gems.
The grim ambient, the feeling of hopelessness and art style worked well together and turned it into a classic.
>Alone in the dark is another one that deserves a mention.

thanks bro, I'm gonna use this script for my 'TOP 10 Horror Hidden Gems' youtube video and upload to Reddits r/gaming for maximum upvotes >:)

I still enjoy Splatterhouse's atmosphere more than most tank scrollers

Some of the Dylan Dog games were quite creepy.
Too bad the gameplay was garbage and the music didn't match the atmosphere.

>>5801294
Ahah holy shit, I just noticed something while reading the developer's twitter.
I can't believe it... but the day right after they tweeted about a kickstarter, Hifumi Kouno launched his own kickstarter for Night Cry.
I suppose it would have been impossible to compete against the original Clock Tower director. The poor dude's butt must have been ravaged so hard he gave up.
You can't make this shit up.

His last tweet was from 2017. Did he die or something?

>>5802105
You're wrong, it was the same exact day!
Imagine having your dream crushed the same moment you're about to realize it.

Talk about bad timing.
We were waiting for a clock tower spiritual successor, instead we got night cry cruise mobile game simulator....

Hifumi should have teamed up with this guy instead.

Which version of the first Clock Tower should I play, SNES or PSX?

>>5800596
>>5800621
The original Clock Tower on SNES is an absolute masterpiece and a game that everyone should play.

Shame about the sequels though.

>>5803201
SNES has a translation patch, so I'd assume that.

>>5800596
>>5800621
Twilight Syndrome games for the PS1 have a similar point-and-click interface and aesthetic. Also by the same developer.

>>5800596
>that one glitch ending where you can get to the car without triggering anything and drive away scot free.
Though you need to have zero save data for the game.

>>5803217
The PSX version has one too

>>5803245
>drive away scot free
lol really? A true happy ending. Shame about the other girls in the house, though....

I fucking love Clock Tower on Playstation. I do not get the hate for it and I'm always shocked to hear people bash it. It's one of my top 3 favorite video games of all time, and I prefer it to the SFC Clock Tower, though I do absolutely love First Fear as well.
Ghost Head/Struggle Within was ass and Clock Tower 3 for PS2 really jaded me, I thought it was trash. But to each their own.
One of my other top 3 favorite of all time games is Echo Night 2 for Playstation. Echo Night is a great game, but the sequel is superior in almost every way. I recommend it if you enjoy Clock Tower, horror, mystery, and care for story.

>>5803201
IIRC, the PSX's only perks are a new 3D opening that you can see on YouTube, and like 2 new death scenes for Jennifer. It's your call, but there's nothing wrong with the SFC version.
Also, Clock Tower PSX fans, are you aware that there were 2 CYOA novels released in relation to the game? One from Helen's POV and one from Jennifer's POV. Helen's part was translated by a fan a few years ago. You can find the text here:
http://www.sceneryrecalled.com/trans/cthelen.htm

>>5803280
The PSX version is pretty much the SNES with some cut content put back in the game.
You could hide in the car when chased, they added the zombie in the fridge, clown doll, an extra interaction with the mirror, and a couple of other minor things.
Nothing that changes radically the experience. Even if you go with the SNES you'll lose nothing of import.
They're both good versions.

>>5800663
Should I bother with this if I already have played (and loved) SH2? Or is it basically the same game but more dated?

>>5804338
SH1 is absolutely worth playing. That said if you enjoy SH2 you'll probably find it odd, its similar in terms of gameplay mechanics but the two are very different in terms of plot.

Can we talk about the Twilight Syndrome games ? i feel like i'm the only one who is interested in them, i really dig their aesthetics too.

>>5805251

I'm catching up on TS, Is there a translation patch?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-HVmnAdg2s

>>5805251
Also may i add that the soundtrack is atmospheric af.
https://soundcloud.com/kimchi314/twilight-syndrome

>>5805284
No, there is this guy that translated the entire game for youtube, but still no translation of the game itself.

There's no good retro horror game sadly. Unlike other genres horror is heavily dependent on atmosphere and graphics to be effective and no retro game manages to do it. You can pretend all you want you're scared shitless by the blocky polygons in SH1 but you know as well as i do thats not true.

>>5803210
>absolute masterpiece
Those are strong words, but I almost agree. So easy to grab an emulator and play, and even a blind playthrough can be done in a night or so.

Screenshots don't do it justice; the sound design and animation work does a great job at selling the scenario. I found it creepier than most of what Silent Hill throws at you, to be honest.

>>5805251
Yea I love them, and no they haven't been translated unfortunately. Shame the most recent DS one was a disappointment, and more than likely killed the series for good.
Also check out Moonlight Syndrome if you haven't already, since the TS girls make appearances in it and get killed off

>>5805347
Yeah, i'm interested in the entire series, i played the DS game back in the day, i still got a fun time out of it maybe because i played it on Halloween.
But for me the ultimate experience is Yuuyami Doori Tankeitai (pic related) i know the game it's not part of the Twilight Syndrome saga but they share a similar style, sadly the game is expensive as hell, kind of a cult game in Japan.

>>5805356
Yea I know about Yuuyami, that's actually the game that got me into the Twilight Syndrome games. Good little game in it's own right

Has there been any real attempt at a spiritual successor to these style of games? Clock Tower got several that I know of (Nightcry, Remothered, and Creeping Terror)

>>5803793
>The PSX version is pretty much the SNES with some cut content

110% wrong. They are entirely different games. The ps1 version was sort of a 3d remake, but didn't quite follow the snes plot. Also, they didn't do so well in the graphics department which was distracting. the snes version was much more creepy.

>>5805417
Oh wow, never knew they released the snes version on ps1. Nevermind.

>>5805438
Yeah "First Fear", but it didn't really add all that much to the game. CT1 also got a ports to the WonderSwan and Windows 95 as well.

>>5805408
I have no idea, i just know about that danganronpa reference to the series.

>>5805308
ok /v/.

>>5805356
I wanna play this sooooooooo badly but I'm stuck waiting for a translation.

>>5805664
Same here man, next month i will be going to Japan, and i'm planning to get this game at least a little cheaper than its going on ebay, i'm not into spending a fortune on games but this one has a special place in my imagination.

I'm an absolute pussy for horror games

The only one I played to the end was a non-retro (Nanashi no Geemu) and it gave me nightmares for a couple days

I get too tense, can't even enjoy to adrenalin

>>5805792
Man Nanashi no Geemu is a great game, really underated, it's really intense, specially when you got ghosts on your back, the secuel is even better.
btw what is the sauce your picture?

>>5800596
The music and sound design in general is amazing and absolutely makes the game

>>5805847
>Man Nanashi no Geemu is a great game
Sequel is crap tho

>>5800621
>I wonder if the artists who drew the backgrounds are still alive.
lolwat. It was only 25 years ago, anon. I'm sure they're fine.

>>5803280
thANKS, I'm reading it right now. Cool stuff.

>>5805847
No idea, downloaded it from this board

>>5806531
but maybe the serial killer got them

>>5801843
>Silent Hill
>Hidden gem

How old are you?

Enemy Zero is quite underrated, the game is maximum tense.

>>5800720
>Clock Tower 2 on the other hand...
Localization and 90's voice acting certainly didn't help.

>>5807582
i'm 67

>>5807589
The poor localization certainly didn't help it, but Ghost Head was flawed from the start. The entire game completely falls apart after the Takano House.

I seriously can't understand what they were thinking with those fucking zombies in the Hospital.

>>5807830
Guess they weren't very confident in the whole alter-ego plotline to carry the entire game, my real complaint was the curse affecting the loli and the rest zombies to be a science thing.

>>5807967
Yeah, Chinatsu, the zombies, and everything being because of a "cerebral toxin" was moronic. Completely killed was could've been a interesting plot.

I still really like the first chapter though, even with the annoying ego switching.

>>5808028
Something interesting about Clock Tower 1 and 2 was how the Scissorman in the end seemed to be related to an eldritch theme.

>>5805251
Wow have never heard of this. Read through the thread and this game seems like something I'd really wanna pick up. Thanks for bringing it up for discussion.

itt darkwave games

>>5805703
God speed, anon
>>5808043
The story of the CT games really stuck with me. I remember playing through CT PSX for the first time and just being mesmorized by the mystery. Every plot reveal was exciting. And the big twist at the end...!!!

>>5801294
>>5802105

>>>/vg/262491396
:^)

>>5800596
The pace is so fucking slow, and I apparently suck at dodging Scissor Man. Am I expected to play this with a walkthrough near me?

>>5809537
Double tap runs.
Also, you can use a turbo button if your emulator gives you the chance.

Anyone has played this?
https://puppetcombo.itch.io/glass-staircase

>>5805703
Protip: Avoid the hardoff nad bookoffs near the city centers, tokyo is particularly cancerous.
The ones near non-tourist "cities", specially the osaka area are golden, you can think of it as a fun sightseeing trip through a normal nip suburb.

Get ready to be looked at like the weird gaijin you are though, speacially if you are at least somewhat tall, i'm 6' tall with broad shoulders, i went walking in a shithole between osaka and nara and boy did i feel intensely observed the entire time.

>>5809554
Also, unless you are really good at reading moonrunes it's not a bad idea to print the name of the shit you are looking for and just ask any of the drones to go look for it, they straight up run around looking for the stuff.

>>5809547
not retro

>>5809575
mimics, that's why I asked, but I certainly expected that response too.

>>5809571
They want the white pig to hurry up and go home, ofcourse they run.

>>5809585
Happy to oblige, couldn't wait to get home.
Bought most of my JRPG super famicom wish list for fucking nothing while checking out cool shit (For example, Queen's flash gordon soundtrack on vynil for 3 bucks), god bless their consumerist only physical autistic souls

>liking JRPGs
>Not learning moon
How do people even justify this.

>>5809635
>learning 4 thousands characters that resembles chicken scratches.
They should do like korea and make a phonetic alphabetic like hangul.
Also one thing i find completely absurd is when in isekai stories, the MC travels to another world and he says "AH IT'S LIKE JAPANESE. HOW EASY"
What the fuck. The MC would be still learning the runes even after 4 years if that were so.

>>5809645
They do have two different sillabaries, i'd say they mean that if it wasn't isekai trash, which i refuse to even think about.
Also, just 2000 kanji, the other 2000 are for personal names you don't give a hint of a fuck about. They also serve a purpose, it's a "sound" restricted language, you have only 100 syllables to use, so words end up becoming very samey, kanji are great for distinguishing homonyms, it's not so much the writing system as the language itself that it's fucked.

It's kinda cool the closes writing system is fucking egyptian hieroglyph tho

>>5808046
My pleasure, i always enjoy a little talk about TS games.

>>5809554
Thanks for the tips, i want to get out of tokyo a couple of days to visit oasaka, nara, etc. but i'm evaluating it because of how expensive is to take the train to those places.

>>5809681
I had the JR pass, only worth it if you use it to move outside tokyo.

how long are you going anon?

>>5809701
i will be going for 7 days anon, sadly i couldn't save a lot for the trip.

>>5809716
Then stay on tokyo, no sense on losing so much time.
Go to saitama, it's about one hour trip but you can get some good shit there, it's also as residential as it gets.
Ramen at night is a thing, be carefull with last trains, losing the last train will fuck you up something fierce.

>>5809728
Thank you anon! those are the tips i need.
I've been crushing my head trying to make an itinerary for the travel.
So hard off and book off are the best places to go? i have really high expectations on them.
Also which places from around tokyo are a must go in your opinion ?

>>5809737
1)Akiba is a must of course, on a sunday it's super packed, Super potato is really nice if you want to look at weird shit like old MX or use an actual virtual boy (it does fucking suck), but the real gem of akiba are the arcades, tons of arcades all packed and with that AC + ballsweat smell, just as i remembered from when i was a little shit going to cybercafes, do not buy anything in akiba though, it's a tourist trap at this point.

2) Get ready to walk a lot, in fact, i would recommend you start walking a few kilometers a day to get used to it, bring pain killers so you can keep walking if your feet are killing you, some ibuprofen is not a bad idea either.
Uber is a scam, do not depend on taxis

3) Bring a good coin purse, you'll get swamped by coins (5 yen coins are a nice souvenir)

4) i can't talk to you much about temples, i was sick of them by the time i got to tokyo, the meiji temple is nice and kamakura has nice temples and beaches (It's identical to the city from ika musume)
The shibuya crossing may be memetic but it is an experience, i don't regret the packed train afterwards

5) What systems do you buy for? Book off is great for Psone and other common ones, i looked for SNES only so i was fine with bookoff
i did buy some stuff in akiba right before leaving i didn't find anywhere else
Be careful with different names, there is shit i didn't suspect had different names (like etrian oddyssey)
JAL sometimes weighs carry ons, be carefull with that

6) Free Wi-Fi is rare, and a must to not get lost, you can speak english as long as you stick to one word at a time, super slow, if you use pics from your phone and hand signals it's a big help (If, for example you are looking for saturn games, saying "geemu" while showing a picture of the sega saturn logo they'll point you to the right direction)

7) curry house is delicious, go there for the curry experience.

8) They get up early, do it too

>>5809805
9) the mandarake headquarters in nakano broadway is full of cool shit, from affordable animation cells (I got an original sakura card captor, urusei yatsura, boogiepop phantom, hajime no ippo and eureka seven for under 40 bucks total), old posters and toys, games are a ripoff there. not a bad place to buy figs.

What are your interests anon? I may have more tips but depends on what you wanna do.
I'd divide sightseeing during the day and going out at night to arcades and bars, be careful with bars, they are expensive (and since nips get shitfaced fast, they are double expensive)
Do you speak moon?

damn japan sounds fun

>>5809834
To travel yes, to live no.

>>5809805
>>5809820
Thank you again, i did a pdf (with pictures) listing all the games and consoles i would like to get. Honestly thats the only thing i'm interested in, maybe a couple of movie posters from mandarake too. I didn't know about animation cells that sounds amazing, i will check it out.
I'm good at walking so i think i will be fine. I'm planning on getting a saturn and a japanese ps1, maybe a famicom since i don't own one.
I will be going with a cousin that collects figures, but he is more into vintage american toys, so i'm planning to visit 200 toys, toy goldenage and spiral.
Tell me some tips about nightlife, what is worth it and what is not, i admit that i got a little bumed about trains closing at midnight.

>>5809860
One last old console tip, be carefull when buying super famicom gamepads, they sometimes put the usb ones with the actual retro ones, but you might get a super famicom usb control for 3-5 bucks, so that's not bad

Mandarake in nakano actually has vintage toys, he will have an (expensive) Blast.

Karaoke is fun, a lot more fun if you can manage to go with a nip, lots of english songs.
International parties are a decent way of getting laid if only english, get early, find two lone girls that look uglish and you are almost garanteed a fuck, they tend to be very submisive, sometimes to the point of rapiness, tread carefully there, a good rule of thumb is if they initiate any form of physical contact you are in for a fuck (which will be as active as a dead fish, but hey, fuck)
It's not a bad idea to recruit guys for a karaoke night either, just say you've never been to a karaoke and they'll jump at the chance most likely.
Love hotels are super fucking expensive, so that's a negative.
Izakaya are half drinking half eating, so go there wanting to eat as well as drink.

Print a list of all your games but one for each console separately, in japanese if possible, so it's easier to tick off the list of all the stuff, don't underestimate how intimidating a wall of kanji titles can be so familiarize yourself with the titles, you may not be able to print stuff there so take that into consideration.
Getting some form of internet and a portable battery is a must to be honest, you don't want to get lost and google maps is excelent for trains (Everything is laid out by the meter)

If you can, try to find out if there are game nights, my friend knew a guy living there, so i don't know how to look for it, but thanks to that expat i got a free entry into a tekken 7 tournament, which was a fun experience.

I really recommend waking up early, but be careful with the opening times, they may be later than you expect, mandarake opens kinda late.

>>5809894
Thats awesome, i think we derailed the thread but i'm really thankful for everything.
I really hope to get all the good stuff and to have a blast, i imagine there will be a lot to do, and little time, is the metro expensive there?

>>5809927
Yeah, i kinda feel bad about that but oh well.
Yeah, you'll be pressed for time.
There is no metro, subway and train are interchangeable, everything cost the sameish, use google maps for that

Good luck anon, it really is a great trip to make, i wish you the best.

>>5805251
woah it has more games than Fatal Frame Or clock tower

https://www.giantbomb.com/twilight-syndrome/3025-2196/

>>5800764
>>5800831
It's called REMOTHERED:TORMENTED FATHERS

Which are the best games in Twilight Syndrome and are they translated?

>>5805847
Thanks for suggesting nanashi. I didn't even know there was such a game for ds.
It was better than I expected.

>>5810787
I had great hopes for Remothered when it was supposed to be a remake... But then the developer did a 360 a walked sideways.
I don't think the final game is bad but Remothered feels more like a homage rather than a spiritual successor.

>>5809528
Are you the dev? If so, you're doing god's work. I can't wait to see the final game.

>>5809940
Thank you anon, you made my day.

>>5810801
I love nanashi, it is one of my favorite horror games for sure, sadly there isn't even one Twilight Syndrome translated to english, there is a youtuber that translated some of the games into english with youtube annotations, but the game itself is not.
Maybe someone should take that translation and put it into the code.

>>5810378
yeah but Twilight Syndrome Special is a compilation of Tansakuhen and Kyuumeihen.

>>5800701
The first Clock Tower borrowed a lot from Phenomena, so that's the closest we'll get to a CT movie. The Japanese love (or, used to love a while ago) Jennifer Connelly.

>>5801928
Same, Splatterbro. You ever 1cc it?

>>5810801
Seriously, looking at the old footage of Remothered bums me out so much.

>>5800701
There is a top down, Clock Tower'ish game on steam with a Jennifer Simpson look-a-like, called "Unknown", I haven't really tried it yet, but doesn't seem particularly great from the reviews

>>5809547
Not a whole lot, but I've tried it along with some of his other games. They suffer enormously from being one-man projects and he doesn't put enough time into his games before he's onto the next one. There's also too much loud noise/lazy jump scare bait sprinkled across a lot of what he makes. The Night Ripper is worth checking out though.

The first Clock Tower is one of my favorite games ever and I'd love to play those Twilight/Moonlight Syndrome games if they ever got translated.

>>5811381
Watch suspiria. Incredibly similar and pretty sure the developer was a big fan if i recall correctly.

I'll check out phenomena though. Holy shit i see the resemblance

>>5812831
CT also took some inspiration from Deep Red by the same director, particularly the doll attack, and I'd guess the obscured mural revealing secrets to the plot as well.

You can actually find a list of influential movies featured in the Clock Tower (PSX) strategy guide here:
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/dontcryjennifer/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=851&p=46141

>>5813206
also since there seem to be a few CT obsessives in here, if you haven't already seen, this was a really cool fan site with lots of scans of old CT artwork, ads, posters, etc. There used to be a good French one too but I don't remember the name.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160310151602/http://www.stalkinginsanity.com/

I only have one gripe with CT, Jennifer could've had a better face in her player sprite.
Pic related, a quick makeover that makes her more readable and less unibrow-ape.

>>5800596
Does Clock Tower for the SNES have that Sam's Club aesthetic?

>>5800663
God dammit it's so spooky, I don't know how I beat this game. I was consuming so much horror games it didn't bother me at all, but something broke inside me one year ago. Now I'm positively terrified of some random screeshots.

>>5804338
SH1 has completely different plot, and horror is not nice gray ambient like in SH2, it's rusty, black, ugly mess. This game aged like a good wine, try it.

>>5800701
Dividead VN gives similar vibe and has really good retro artwork

Corpse Party isn't so athmospheric but is still legit

>>5805308
Is that bait?

what was that old Japanese PC horror game that got translated recently? I want to say it was a point and click or graphic adventure deal, but it had really great artwork.

>>5814842
Dead of the Brain?

>>5814861
>talk

>>5814861
yeah, that's it.

>>5814676
It's not a monobrow, it's to make her face look shady

>>5815560
It does make her face look like a screaming terrance from theme park, though.

>>5805251
I'm really interested in those games, too, but the total lack of english patch makes it impossible to play.

>>5805292
Would it be somewhat possible to use this guy's translation to hack the game?

>>5811381
I watched the American cut, Creepers, the other day through Cinema Insomnia. It's such a fucking bizarre movie, and the soundtrack choices really undercut a few of the more tense scenes, but it's a fun watch regardless. It's definitely essential viewing for anyone with even a passing interest in Clock Tower.

>>5816318
That version is so weird if you've seen either of the longer Phenomena cuts. The scenes are cut so abruptly it's like watching a "LAST TIME ON..." TV show recap montage

>>5814842
>got translated
oh honey

>>5805251
All I know about it is that Danganronpa referenced it. Seems like I'd like it if I was better at Japanese.

>>5816291
Its translation is a bit simplified from what I got from some moonrune speaking friends but it is way better than nothing and its still overall a pretty good one.

SH2 is very introspective and character driven. SH1 has more of a focus on the town's lore, though mechanically they are pretty similar. As a tech demo, it's nice to see a semi open world in a PS1 game. It's absolutely worth playing, even more so if you want to play SH3 afterwards, which is a direct sequel to 1.

Any other games were you have to exorcise your gf?

I just wanna live in CD-rom world. I want to be completely locked out of my pantry if I can't solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle. Where did everything go so wrong.

Anybody played this one? I popped it in a while back but didn't know enough Japanese to get very far at the time. I really liked the aesthetic.

I'm extremely wary of Idea Factory, but I'm curious about this game.

>>5819096
If that was the cheapest you found, you're an idiot. If she wasn't paying half, you're an idiot.

You WERE pretty mean just now.

Any of you guys play Echo Night? Just started it yesterday. I really like it, though, I don't find it all that scary. The little ghost girl fading into a dark room to giggle made me jump though. Your father used to hunt demons or something and you get transported to a ship full of ghosts. Alot of them aren't harmful and you have to help them pass on. The ones that do harm you are afraid of the light, so you have to hunt down light switches for every room, and not all of them work. It's a pretty fun adventure puzzle game, but it's on the King's Field engine, so the controls take some time to get used to.

I gave it a try but whichever emulator I was using would freak out any time a ghost would appear and it was nearly unplayable. I'm on the look out for a cheap copy of Beyond for PS2 though and wouldn't mind giving the other ones another shot.

>>5819292
You should try it out again on a different emulator, it's pretty good. I can't tell if I'll like Beyond as much, from the bits of gameplay I watched, it looks like you spend a majority of the game looking through camera footage in the space(?) station.

>>5819219
It's not actually scary, more like King's Field with drama and without fighting. I really like all 3 games in the series.

Enjoy the casino area.

Not that guy, but I'm also a fan of the original Splatterhouse. I've 1CC'd it on my Japanese version arcade PCB.

Does anyone have the link to the translation for Dead of the Brain? I googled and the Patreon that most people link to is empty. https://www.patreon.com/retronomicon_games/creators

there was no translation, just made up shit.

Yeah, definitely seek out Phenomena and watch it. Creepers was a fuck up.

If you enjoy Echo Night, and perhaps even if you don't, please check out Echo Night 2, aslo for PSX and now with an English translation patch that is 100% complete.
I spent a couple summers ago with Echo Night 2, and it is hands down the best game I have played in years.
After I cleared all of the endings in EN2, I played Echo Night. EN2 is vastly superior. I have not played 3, but I don't expect it or any other game to ever top 2.
I did find a few parts of EN2 genuinely scary, and that in itself is a feat. But the atmosphere and story are what really makes it shine.

Surprised no one has brought up Hell Night yet.

I might be thinking of a different game, but that's the first person game where you're being chased by monsters in subway tunnels, while you have to escort some schoolgirl around, right?

I remember really enjoying it
