it's time for lynchian horror to make a comeback

the world is so fucking bizarre there's plenty of horror in the banality of our lives

someone needs to make a horror game where you try to hide slacking from your boss

follow-up idea: a game where you try to convince a depressed friend that he should become a wagecuck and then watch him piss his life away on beer and twitch streamers

What your saying, is anticipation, and horror games have done this since the dawn of fucking time. Some of the best horror games make you anticipate shit without jumpscaring you, Condemned, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Resident Evil, F.E.A.R, ect. have all made you anticipate spooks without shoving jumpscares in your face. Hell, some of these games don't even have jumpscares but manage to make you anticipate shit so much your still scared

nothing on this site scares me anymore

I just feel varying degrees of indifference or disgust

That's just the first of three stages.
The next step will make you powerful.
The last one will destroy you.

Stop letting players kill the monster
at least not so easily

the first resident evil game was scary because it took effort to put down zombies, sometimes it's more optimal to just flee than to try and fight them
Resident evil has lost that horror factor in favor of becoming an action game, zombies aren't scary when you have a Gatling gun and can mow them down without effort.
You want a game to be scary, it's gotta have a threat the player can't nessiserily fight, or when they do fight it it's not easy to put it down, and it may still get back up

Wrong. Jumpscares don't scary anybody, they startle. You're affected for only a moment and then it's gone and yet devs shove their games full of them and everyone considers them to fit the horror genre.
Jumpscares are fucking cancer.

yo is that mc ride

What is this tho seriously

Quiet jumpscares gives a sense of fear of what can happen at any time.
With sounds, you just sit and wait for the queue.
Silent Hill did som great ones.

They can still work as the payoff to a good scare. The only problem is when they use them constantly, when the turn up the volume to ear-rape levels, or when they use 3 fake outs in succession.

This entire post is proven wrong by that one diner scene from Mulholland Drive

That whole thing is 100% scare, no startle

Atmosphere.
Use the fear of the unknown.
Most monsters just disgust or unnerve the player.
Nothing scarier then not knowing what's out there.

yeah but to be fair it literally spent like 7 fucking mins setting the mood for that ONE fucking moment. You had the long drawn out diner scene then the slow walk to there. It was fucking suspenseful and didnt come out of left field.

the guy outright says exactly whats gonna happen even because it happened to him multiple times before.

source?

Exactly, that's the entire point. Jumpscares, when paired with appropriate anticipation and suspense, can be good. Jumpscares used thoughtlessly in a cheap way are shit

I liked how Deadwood did it. Felt constantly creepy, you never really saw the monsters at night, you constantly were on edge, never have enough supplies to feel comfortable.

>posting vore

Everyone plays horror games where you freak out, you're powerless, all you can do is run away. I want a game where you can face your fears head on even if it's terrifying.

It's called Silent Hill.

Nothing really scary there. Just remember the voices than Laura or whatever her actual name is screaming at the top of her lungs. They had to warn the entire neighborhood that they're filming and someone's gonna scream really loud.

>it doesn’t scare if I just use a different word
“to startle” is synonymous was “to scare”. Don’t pretend things don’t fall under the definition of scary simply because they aren’t the kind of scary you like, there isn’t and never was a necessity for something to be a lingering feeling for it to qualify as “scary”. Also stop watching video essays on youtube.

Heys so happy :)

character has a weapons and other items, but all items and ammo is really limited.

Go to any asylum full of mentally unstable patients, observe their behavior and write down gibberish they're saying. Then get high af, watch body horror movies (e.g. The Thing, Hellraiser) read some Hunter S. Thompson books along with Junji Ito manga to visualise mindfuckery in your head. Visualise your own phobias too. Regardless if you can draw or not, draw those horrifying images in your head on a paper. From unexplained scenery to "monsters", anything goes, just put it on paper.
Congrats, now you have your very own nightmarish idea which can start to work on.

Deadwood was a fucking master of horror from the very first trailers. The top-down perspective turns out to be the biggest boon of the whole thing. It's unironically the best horror game to come out in the last few years.

Games need to play with their established logic more.

Horror works by subverting comfortable norms, and after an hour of working out how a horror game 'works', the average gamer knows exactly when to expect cutscenes, checkpoints, scare scenes without danger and scare scenes with danger.
I immediately knew in RE2 that Mr. X wasn't going to walk into the smaller safe rooms, because I figured the game developers would be scared that'd be frustrating to the player.
Hell, compare that to Alien Isolation, where saving puts you on the edge of your seat every time you do it in a zone with the Alien. A:I isn't perfect and plenty of stuff in it was exploitable but it nailed the tension of that.

Scariest game moment I've had in the last five years was playing The Consuming Shadow and getting to the end of a dungeon and having the expectation to have to get out again fairly quickly. All of a sudden, the atmosphere gets super thick, music starts playing and a fucking huge enveloping face appears at the left side of the screen, and before I recover from my outright shock, it surrounds and devours me and I'm spat back out in my car with big penalties. It was the biggest WTF moment I think I've had in a while. The game sets up one thing, runs it for a bit to get you used to it, and then fucks it over, and that gives the player a bigger shock than a BOO jumpscare.

Rely more on atmosphere. More innovative ways to creep people out. make things less clear. Silent Hill 1-3 are one of the greatest horror games out there because of it's wonderful enemy designs, level designs, sound design, and the interesting ways it creeps people out like the shitty filter over everything in 2 that made it harder to see things which kind of makes it almost look more realistic along with the radio that alerted you of enemies.

Kojimas Silent Hill would've been so fucking good if it was made, PT might've not been what the actual game would've been like but it showed a new way to creep people out without purely relying on epic jumpscares

yeah, when i first saw the image, i thought there was a teddy bear and some plastic wrapping and toys and shit, then i realized i couldnt identify a single thing in the picture.
if games could do something like this, we could see some really cool shit. like in lovecraft where he says that the character was looking at something so alien and bizarre that he didnt even know what he was looking at. like geometry that doesnt make sense or a creature that your brain cant understand.

mark my words on this: the next meme in horror is 'actual consequence', ie. horror roguelites with a strong overarching plot connecting all runs. a clever way of bringing back 'survival' into the horror genre which has become too linear-cinematic narrative (aka walking-simulator) focused.

Death Stranding will be one of the first big hits. There will be a FOTM indie VR game around the principle. Eventually AAA kikes will monetize it and ruin it forever.

1. stay up all night
2. do not interact with anyone all day, stick to Yea Forums
3. at 11 PM, drop 300 ug of LSD
4. at 3-4AM, take two large hits of weed

After this, you will know what terror really is

Jumpscares are usually just low effort though. Making the game quiet and then playing a loud noise isn't really "horror". Jumpscares should come naturally because the atmosphere is putting you on edge and you think you saw something out of the corner of your eye, or something like that.

This is amazing.

I don't, but you can find the enemy I described on the wiki. It's called the 'Overseer'. That said, I'd actually really recommend The Consuming Shadow to people if they want to see the thing, I think it does a lot right even if visually it's pretty simple. It's not perfect but it nails a really chilling atmosphere, and I'd love to see a studio with a bit of a bigger budget pull off something similar to it, but closer to

Resident Evil is more about mastering the horror. Like halfway through your first playthrough of any RE you stop being scared because you're better equipped.

Sounds like a pretty rad idea, turning from pretty ordinary police work to more gritty shit and then the psychological horror themes with the psychopathic serial-killer stuff, maybe even some supernatural themes as some side note kinda stuff, like "clichéd" Native burial grounds where you're driving down some dusty back-road to get to some domestic dispute and you hear faint horse galloping around the squad car but you can't see anything for a short while until the headlights of your squad car picks up men on horseback, kinda blocking the road up ahead, I'm not really sure where I'm going with it but the idea of being watched or stalked by something like that would give me the jitters real fucking fast.

Your picture bothers me too but for a very specific reason

Anyone else terrified by paintings? It's mostly very large paintings and/or paintings with very dark colors but I'm almost unable to stay around them for very long without getting overwhelmed
I actually really love paintings too, so I'm pissed that this ruins museum visits for me.
When I was a kid I was obsessed with Leonardo da Vinci and my uncle bought me this big thick book of his complete paintings and sketches but I could barely read it. I'd have to slooowwwwly turn every page because every painting in the book would terrify me if I turned the page too fast or looked at them for too long. Especially dark ones like his painting of St. John the Baptiste pointing upwards.

You don't like the feeling of being alone

yea thats it

I can kinda see why this is eerie but, it just seems like a women staring at a painting.

>the palette is bleak and muted
>the grass is dead
>there's nothing beyond the horizon, which is uncanny
>the girl is extremely pale and thin
>she's also turned toward the house as if something's suddenly startled her about it
>all structures look abandoned and dilapidated
>the building on the left's perspective is off and it is missing its roof
These are some of the reasons you anons find it creepy. Anything else?

>he doesn't know

>his painting of St. John the Baptiste pointing upwards.
To be fair, that is a terrifying painting.

I want a deep-sea horror game. Subnauctica isn't enough.

I can't even bring myself to click your image. I see the resolution and know it will be too startling once it pops up

>because it took effort to put down zombies, sometimes it's more optimal to just flee than to try and fight them
>Resident evil has lost that horror factor in favor of becoming an action game, zombies aren't scary when you
So, what you're telling me is, you haven't played REmake 2 at all??
This is what happens when you automatically think all new games are shit, you end up looking like a retard

kek no worries, just click ;^)

I find it funny that everyday people love Andrew Wyeth but the art world hates him.

>the girl is extremely thin

How many burgers did you have today?

This, jumpscares are the McDonald's of horror. Cheap amd efficient. They are only startling and give no sense of dread, or worry.

tribe mentality is a hell of a drug

Soma is kind of the closest you'll get

There should be a horror game that's a hybrid of l4d and silent hill, where real players have to spoop other real players or whatever

I want a horror game set on the open seas. Either a ship or sub on endless waters under the full moon with a starless sky.
>tensions rise as crew slowly starts going crazy
>mc is a recovering addict, can succumb to your vices under stress or fight them for different horror effects.

The girl in the painting has polio, you dumb fuck. She was objectively painted to be thin. Look at how skinny her upper arm is.

why, out of every scp, did this one get the most porn?

soma is good

not creepy at all

Can't really pace a game around that. Horror games benefit a lot from being designed precisely. Multiplayer would ruin it.

Remember when we had deepsea threads? What happened to that?

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe with no easy way to escape. These situations can include open spaces, public transit, shopping centers, or simply being outside their home. Being in these situations may result in a panic attack. The symptoms occur nearly every time the situation is encountered and last for more than six months. Those affected will go to great lengths to avoid these situations. In severe cases people may become completely unable to leave their homes.

The girl in the painting also can't walk due to some disease.

The artist's perfectly healthy wife modeled for him. The real girl it's inspired by had Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Underhell was a really strange horror game experience for me. I got the game and had no clue it was supposed to be a horror game, just downloaded it because I heard it was fun. At first I thought it was a dark themed SWAT mod for Half Life. When I got to the prison I was genuinely shocked.

There is something in that house and she knows it is coming for her.

she looks like someone in a concentration camp, user. ashy, no circulation in her hands, skin around her neck/face is pale grey blue, crippled from polio. plus she has to crawl her way back to her dilapidated farm house

That Dutch colonial is actually an escaped mental patient

see I think the fact that she isn't in the house is the problem

>if an open space can be made scary for you, you have agoraphobia

its a kinda like a spooky Point and Click investigate VN except with permadeaths for wrong decisions and turnbased boss fight.
And some really graphic imagery like a girl that literally got rose-vine raped to death or the fact that all of your friends can die really gruesome fucked up deaths

This is some real Johnny Got His Gun shit right here. Fuck...

explain then why her elbow and hands are so fucked up.

But it looks like she's crawling towards the house. The grass behind her feet looks flattened like she's crawled through it.

This image reminds me of something I remember now. It was an image of an pale person in a cloak looking right at you, holding a round mirror (?) that is completely black. In corner there is a dog looking at the viewer, and in the background there is just a small featureless window letting you look slightly outside, however it also only show pitchblackness.

Anyone know which one I am talking about? I think it was completely black and white.

Oreo factory

the reflection is of her shadow that you cant see outside of the reflection because it is projected by the flash of the camera taking the picture.

You can start by explaining how exactly her hands are fucked up

the sea isnt scary nor is it dangerous to the average person

There's one that I'm trying to find for you but can't remember the name or find it in any searches

I forget if it's a photograph or a realistic painting but a little girl is sitting at a table drawing with crayons or something, and it's just completely dark behind her so you can't see what kind of room she's in or if there's anything behind her. I've seen it used multiple times as an example of horror without anything explicitly scary
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Enjoy, everyone

ttttthis!

i've been on a cruise ship for 9 days and my room had a balcony directly to the sea. it ain't scary.

how do I stop being a pussy and enjoy horror games?

>being on a cruise ship means you've "been on water"
holy shit lmao dude

It was used in some Kleenex ad before

Find someone who's more of a pussy than you to play them with. You'll feel much more brave by comparison. I got through Alien Isolation by playing it with my gf

>but it's not REAL water

THAT'S THE ONE
That japanese ad people started calling haunted

you're a fucking idiot

>Martyrs_2008.jpg

I bumped into a video of a naked woman getting roasted like this on xvideos homepage, the video was immediately deleted right after tho
I thought it was staged at first by the thumbnails but turned out to be actually real. It was the first and only time I realised snuff videos were actually a thing, I have nightmares about it ever since

it's not. being on a cruise ship isn't being on the water.

i wish this were real life so you could get laughed out of the room right now.

a naked man can survive in almost any place for at least 3 days
a naked man can only survive an hour on the sea.
>i've been on a cruise ship
you had been retarded your whole life too, but society works as a safety net, just like the cruise ship

Shit

>surviving in the desert isn't so hard! one time I stayed at the mandalay bay in vegas and it was a cinch!

FANTASTIC

Well, its explained very well, its not rare, just the candle effect

Sorry I didn't realize that by being on water you meant floating in the middle of an ocean waiting to be rescued and not on a ship.

Ahhh christ I know your struggle too well
I once had a nightmare where I was stranded alone at the base of that massive statue of Buddha in Henan, China. There was no immediate danger around me but I was panicking and sobbing because I was so intimidated by the statue. Looking away from it and directly at it were both equally terrifying to me

not even a good story.
SCENE 1-3 is the most bullshit one.

Ironically enough the comic that got me the hardest was the girl who pointed at the smoke stack and got her finger bent in like 5 different directions I can handle spooks but I cant handle body gore like that

also did you know they made a movie out of this?
didnt bother to watch it though because its probably CGI ridden garbage

I bet jews scare you

looks like the nightmare on elm street house

If so, how is it different?
