One of my all time favorite horror games, and favorite games in general.
Would rank it up there with RE, Silent Hill, and Clock Tower, and is my personal favorite.

One of the greatest horror games, not exearating, everything about it feels creepy and discomforting

I'll have to disagree with you guys. I was very disappointed with this game that I really didn't find scary at all (and it comes from someone fucking terrified by the first 3d Clock Tower).

Maybe it was because you can see the enemy's position at all time on the map? Maybe because the main (and only, IIRC) enemy doesn't look scary?

I'm playing the beginning right now and have to agree! I like all the different companion lines and how they change depending on the situation you're in.

Lol, I didn't even notice this while playing through the sewer. Thanks.

Fuck. I started playing through this and didn't know you could do that, honestly the game is scarier without that knowledge. Guess I'll just have to resist the temptation to constantly check.

I've seen youtube videos of it ages ago, it made me shit bricks. I'll try it myself someday. Also pic related is not a horror game but it gives me similar vibes

>>7934389
I didn't know where to go and found it boring. Drop it after 2 hours.

>>7934562
That's the ability of the girl if she dies you lose it.

Looks like a terribly uninspired corridor walking game. You could argue it's creepy and therefore "scary", but it's a matter of perspective. I used get scared by backtracking through hallways in HL1, just because there would be no enemies and no ambient music. You eventually grow out of that.

Hellnight... not scary, not well designed, not interesting. It's a shitty game.

You'd have to really suck to lose her.
Especially since she has that hidden power that can "kill" the monster.

It's super trash. Plays like a grid dungeon crawler like the first SMT which makes sense since it's Atlus I guess, but overall it's bad an uninteresting. setting was mildly interesting I guess, but I remember some shitty sci-fi twist at the end that ruined it for me
Also I swear that right after beating this game, I found it for $10 at a second hand store. And then I never saw this game anywhere else ever again. That alone was scarier than anything in this shitty game. I never bought it though. Probably goes for an insane price now too.

>dollar
>for a game that WASNT released in America
pls stop telling bs

>>7934389
I remember watching Mike Nnemonic play throught back in the age of the ancients

>>7937709
Okay 10 €
I always assume Americans get confused with units that aren't their own so I just type everything in dollars

i enjoyed what i played of it
i moved up to the 2nd level and got lost or something and kinda forgot to carry on playing
but it was p spooky and liked it at the time (i played it years ago)

>>7937713
okay, youre still wring though its a good game
>muh corridors bad
no

>>7934389
weird coincidence, just started this one, freaks me out well so far, the slow controls really make you terrified when trying to escape something(effect similar to RE with tank controls)
I haven't got far so can't really say how the whole game will feel but the first person perspective and point n click elements feel unique and the companions dialogue at different situations is pretty cool too

>>7934562
Naomi's psychic and can sense the monster. If she dies you'll lose the ability to see it on the map.
Kill her off early if you don't care to see her ending and want a more tense game.

>>7938127
>It's holding it's breath
Truly horrific grammar

>>7938127
>don't play like the game intended you to

>>7938282
There are multiple partners with their own endings and you can only have one at a time. Naomi is the first person you meet and the only way to remove her is to let the monster kill her.

God the music is so goddamn creepy

I know anon, I was just teasing you.
It's still pretty retarded that the first sidekick is absolutely overpowered.

>>7938341
So you can't just switch them around?
Also why do people suddenly talk to me in the mesh when Im walking around? I see no characters and someone starts yapping to me about random stuff, and I cant trigger them again, are these potential companions?

>>7939030
There are people living in the upper levels. Sometimes you bump into some of the residents while wandering around, these are scripted.
Companions will be pretty obvious when you meet them. They don't have a prefix before their name like the local weirdos and usually have a lot more to say. They'll offer to join if you're alone.

The game is a creepy for sure but the gameplay is either annoyingly difficult (in some areas) or way too easy.

>>7937710
shit, I also watched this guy years ago, playing those shitty rpg maker horror games
>>7939061
Thanks, gotta finish this one, I'll probably stick with Naomi then cause I'm a massive pussy

>>7939061
Yeah. I think a pretty good indicator they are recruitable is they will have an FMV intro before they appear.
Better yet, you can see 4 of the 5 recruitable characters introduced in the first opening FMV.

Dammit I watched this more than a decade ago... it's terrifying.

>>7934389

is there a 60hz NTSC patch?

interesting story, atmosphere, and aesthetics

most of the gameplay is just running away from stupid NPCs while puzzle solving. would have loved the game if it were more like echo night

>>7941340
Great taste, anon.
