DUDE REMOVE JUMP SCARES LMAO
This but figuratively.
we don't
really wish this thing had more animated porn
Shut the fuck up and stop using the same OP text every horror thread
Use jump scares rarely, but also carefully. More focus on unsettling atmospheres.
The whole game should just be jump scares.
I'd halfway agree, mostly because the jumpscares done in modern horror are fucking retarded.
You don't need a loud sound for something to be a jump scare, that's just distasteful, if you do shit like PT's woman closing the door, that's fine.
Jump and scare players
Make it more about trying to create an atmosphere not skoop the player for 5 seconds.
By checking my 5
>/x/ was being spammed with Momo threads before
It was a change of scenery at least.
>He does Minecraft LPs now while he works on his next horror video
The LPs are very comfy
Vr horror boom baby
I agree, but did you watch Arino from GameCenterCX playing Minecraft? That's top comfiness user, check it out youtube.com
Boo! I stole your 5!
There's no fixing it. And that's not a bad thing. It's the most experimental genre there is today and I'm diggin all the weird shit the devs are coming up with constantly. Ofcourse there's going to be shit games but that's what upvotes and curators are for.
The amount of dedication he has to learning the game as he goes while doing the wildest shit (building a bridge that takes real time hours to walk) makes it better than any other minecraft LP.
shoehorn some niggers and trannies in
can I alteast have a 9
Check out the stuff made by Puppet Combo games. Best horror games I've played in ages.
xddd le wirrd thing but i wanna fug it xddd thats funny xdd vecause its not normal lmao lel xddd
witness
thank
Please stop posting pictures of my wife
Go with eerie rather than jump scares and having to run away from monsters. SOMA for example had a good story and was eerie, but the generic 'hide from zombie monster in rooms' bits were fucking terrible and just a chore.
>Game is a walking sim.
>Game map is a neighborhood.
>Plot is a kooky spooky app that wants to steal your soul away by playing a game where it bets it can outsmart you.
>You and six other characters make up the whole cast. All younger kids. All modern day tumblr-tot types who love /x/ type copy pasta shit.
>Typical parents are gone so the kids trot around at night and get spooked shit. Mostly just a game about participating in kids bonding.
>Has a simple over-arcing puzzle to solve.
>Ends with the kids having stayed up all night and then sitting down on the couch with the crew to finally pass out with the morning news droning on.
>Story is about a hoax internet meme about the killer app and parents overreacting.
>Shits real though. Instead of credits the game finally starts proper. One of the kids walks into the basement to grab soda from a downstairs freezer because fuck sleep I'm 14 and invincible and takes long enough you go to investigate with your bestie. The second both of you are on the basement steps you fall straight through. You're now in a maze. All the rules from the spooky app the kids have been playing pretend to all night now actually apply. You and bestie didn't appear in the same spot in the maze. Reuniting with bestie and the first kid to enter the basement is the first objective. Over time the other kids from the group can end up getting stuck in the maze too, appearing in different locations in different kids of distress. Your goal is to escape with all the kids. You are the only one with the phone and the app is the only way to know what the 'rules' of the maze are at any given time. Breaking rules results in punishments. Too many punishments means the app beat you. Results of that are graphic and vary based on the kid and the way they lost. You have to make sure the correct kids knows what the app is expecting them to do to be 'within the rules' while trying to find the exit.
Dead mall planet.
frightened
Ok retard
almost got me
The idea of this is pretty simple and sweet.
Spend the amount of time the typical shitty 'so spooky' game takes up in order to build the character of the group. Give the retard playing all the things the average game of this type gives them. 'Jumpscares' in the sense that the kids are having fun being spooked by anything that moves while sneaking around at night playing the creepypasta phone game.
Then you take those kids and you put them in a dimly lit, sterile environment with no music but fantastic fucking acoustics. Make the person playing feel like the character is stuck in a metal tunnel. Crush them with the sound of it. Have the cute creepypasta game suddenly actually be in charge while still silently following its own rules, even playing a simple hot and cold game to let you know if you're closing in on a lost kid who ended up stuck in here because they entered the basement looking for you. 'They must close their eyes until I say they can look.' it might tell you. You'd better hope you can reach them to let them know in time. You only get so many tries. It'll always know if you fuck up. Tension and isolation. Whimpers of kids. Confusion. The sound of your phone vibrating to let you know the game is issuing a command. Punishments are fast and confusing. Did the kid fail to keep his eyes closed? Now they can't see. And their eyes BURN. It hurts. They cry. Now that is most of the sound you hear as your group moves forwards.
The idea is simple on paper. Be brutal to make it though.
It's like Amnesia but with guns!
>no jumpscare
c'mon guy
Don't look behind you Yea Forums...

I don't get what so bad about the momo challenge, I thought children loved that Freddy Teddy shit or whatever.
is that the girl from hero academia
What's the bottom picture in the coat?
VR is the future of horror games, even takes hiding from a monster to a whole other level. You actually fear for yourself.
There is a universe of difference between
>Kids are horrified by it
and
>Parents who don't understand the internet are horrified by it
The momo challenge hoax is exactly that kind of story. Parents who do no research and understand literally nothing about this sort of stuff reacting to what they thought was a malicious plot that'd somehow magically convince their kid to commit gruesome suicide.
Kikia
it's a hoax now? someone give me a rundown now, I can't keep up with the internet anymore.
I feel old as shit all of a sudden
Oh my bad man didn't know you needed it
It supposedly circulated on the internet years ago and recently resurfaced. I can attest that parents are completely overreacting, one of my sisters called my mother the other day and was talking to her about how it's freaking her out. I did some actual research and came up with nothing really concrete so it's exactly what user said, parents ignorant of the internet and untrusting of their own children overreacting.
Some pranksters make a video.
Literally every wannabe tv celeb own it and says it showed up to their kid on youtube. Other soccermoms from facebook join in and tell their fake stories and have the audacity to share it. Days later, momo is fucking everywhere.
imagine having this much of reddit aids
>I thought children loved that Freddy Teddy shit or whatever
For some reason, this line made me burst out laughing. Thanks for your comedic post, user.
>less scary and more creepy
stuff that gets under your skin and really hits that uncanny valley feeling
also pausing doesn't stop the game just brings up a menu for the character like dead space
>internet urban legend where you call momo and it send you gore and it tells you to kill yourself
>a bunch of yters make videos saying they called momo and it worked
>eventually dies down because videos are obvious fakes
>months later
>some girl kills herself and er suicide note said it was because of momo
>now parents are freaking out
Horror games don't usually do it for me, but the only horror game to actually fuck with me outside of the game for a bit was this one. It has absolutely nothing to do with any particular scare or enemy just the way the game is designed is made to stress you out.
Game?
I heard it was just some fuckheads going around with the Momo pic as their profile trying to scare people and get them to do something dumb. And that it was just a recent fuckery compared to past ones
Sort out the fucking sound, why has everything got to be so fucking loud?
there are countless examples of people being terrified without a loud CLANG in their ear to tell them to jump and in the same process, also completely startle them so they don't even appreciate the scariness of whatever it is they're looking at.
Audio levels in horror games (and movies) are the singular worst thing that plagues the genre.
Make it sexy horror.

Why are normies on Facebook freaking out about momo being on YouTube kids?

Why is Momo being spammed again all of a sudden?
Welcome to the Game 2.
To put it into context, basically the gameplay in this game is scanning fake "dark web" sites for hidden codes to help save this kidnapped woman.
You have to hack and change wireless internet connections or else the FBI will kick down your door.
You have to purchase upgrades (extra equipment to help you make money) and physically get up from your computer to a drop off point down a dark alley way where there's a random chance a murderer will leap out and chase you. (the only tell being a faint footstep when you enter the alleyway)
You have to remember to lock your door or else a hitman will break in and shoot you in the back of the head while you're on your computer.
If you do lock your door, the hitman will attempt to pick the lock which is the only tell for you to get the fuck up and hide. While you're hidden and the hitman is looking around your house, if you peek you're pretty much dead. He will pretend to leave through the front door multiple times trying to trick you.
If you don't turn off your computer when you go to hide the hitman will delete the codes you did find. If you turn off your lights before he gets in he doesn't search the house as long.
Periodically the breaker to your floor gets tripped and you have to leave your apartment to flip it manually.
It's is a nightmare if you have anxiety.
Explore atmosphere and character driven emotions beyond abruptly startling the player.
Dunno if that is going on but the new rumor is that the Momo image would be spliced in the middle of a kid's video and that the kid would be so retarded they would off themselves because a still image on YouTube said to
>WITNESSED
People need to be more creative with their premises and settings. More underwater and dimensional horror instead of apolocalypse and space settings.
this. that game is mad spooky because of how surreal it is
phenomenal audio design
as long as that's good, the rest of the game will be spooky even if it is mediocre
