Oh man, I remember those threads.
Thanks user.

What kind of videos?

normalpornfornormalpeople.com/

Animals being force fed peanut butter, some legless guy forced to play twister. A dude licking washing machines? I didn't watch it but the worst was supposed to be one of a scarred pet chimp (fake?) killing someone. I don't want to watch that kind of shit, even if it's fake or accidental. But it was an /x/ thing way back.

The Stanley Parable worked as a weird kind of atmospheric horror for me, the isolation and the fact that you don't see any other human being in the game made it spooky to just imagine finding something out of the ordinary around the corner.

An atmospheric horror would be cool if you give hints to the player that there's a small chance something could go wrong and make it so they find something they're not supposed to see, or it finding them.

"Atmospheric horror" is only applicable for movies. Horror GAMES an have a tense or spooky atmosphere, but you can't have an entire "game" out of that if fucking nothing is going to happen.

In a game, things need to happen. It's why the "walking simulator" games are called just that: walking simulators. If nothing happens, it really is just a walking simulator no matter what the story is. In a game, the player has to interact and DO something. If you just show set pieces and unfold the story by making people literally only hold forward, you may as well make a fucking movie.

Silent Hill games have a good horror atmosphere. The fog can mask the inevitable interaction of you vs the weird fucked up enemy. A dark hallway is great for horror atmosphere because of what it makes you feel as a player: threatened by the potential encounter of a hostile entity, enemy or scripted. SOMETHING has to happen if it's a game. Otherwise, no matter what the nu-Yea Forums hipster zoomers say, it's not a fucking game, it may as well be a movie and mods should allow you to discuss it on Yea Forums and not Yea Forums.

It's less scary and more unsettling, and you need the secondary elements like the buzz of the lights to add to that.

Surely you don't need to be told why people would be unsettled by the idea of being stuck in a realm of same-y corridors unable to escape or even find some sort of relief from that corridor and constant buzz of artificial light for an indefinite amount of time.

this game any good?

"Game" is a shit term for the medium, too restrictive. There can be all sorts of interactive experiences besides ones with the usual win/lose state, narrative, or whatever. It was a historical quirk that all interactive experiences are called "games", but arguing that a walking sim isn't a game is as banal and boring as if we lived in some alternate world where all books happened to be called "thrillers" and you're arguing some written work isn't "thrilling". Just accept the word for the medium is shit and that you're arguing about terrible nomenclature, who cares if a game isn't gamey?

Because you're an underaged fortnite playing faggot?

Yes, it's fantastic if you play it with the full amount of players allowed. Unfortunately that can be hard to do.

Walking sims are dishonest. They're neither films, nor books, nor games. They can't tell meaningful stories despite trying their damndest to pretend they do. You walk in a mostly straight line through an empty, threat-free environment while a narrator blabs about something that happened to the walker in the past. It's an incredibly restrictive format, because having anything of consequence happen would call the player's lack of agency into question.

neat

Deep underground military base.

That’s what this site is, newfag.

That's funny. Not long ago I had a dream about some online interactive story taking place in a giant planet sized mall.
I distinctly remember it was a playlist of 61 youtube videos, each 2 hours long with 360 view enabled and the ability to interact with things in the video and choose paths, a little bit like a non-linear FMV homestuck.
I went ahead and developed the idea further in my own spare time just for the fun of it, maybe now that I know about this "you are here" game I finally have people to share all my autistic visions with.

I don't know about you lads but what gets me really freaked are large empty transport vehicles that don't stop moving.

Empty jumbo jets that never stop flying.
Empty ships that continue on to their unnamed location.
Empty trains that keep on chugging.
Even an empty bus going forward in the middle of nowhere.

Shit's unsettling.

That's a ghost ship, user. The concept is older than dirt.

That's true I guess I always imagine ghost ships to be galleons so that never connected in my head. Still fucks with my head though imagining being stuck in an empty airplane that never lands.

It's the feeling of in-betweeness that some locations give you, almost a Twilight Zone feeling. A Waffle House at 3 AM, your old school after it let out and the halls were empty, a mall when the movie ends and all the stores are closed, a gas station late at night with the store closed. It's the feeling of a normal, perhaps familiar place but at a time and setting that in and of themselves make it feel that you are unwelcome there, that no one should be there.

It's pretty rad.

I've always loved thinking back to when the world was still unmapped and the undiscovered frontier genuinely was the cast unknown. Maps weren't as specific as satellite imagery or quantitative measures of topography, they were tied to the cartographer creating it.

So the story would revolve around hundreds of parchments in an old container made by some unknown ancient cartographer. Yet the weirdest part of it is that none of the places illustrated on them existed in the real world. They were all made up locations, made up geography, the contours of the river, the assumed height of the landscape, the layout of the land couldn't be traced to anything that existed on any modern map. Hell people would cross check it with older maps that were presumed to be made in the same age and even then the people were baffled by how intricately made these maps were as if it was all made up by the minds of some deranged individual.

Until one day someone picked up a particular map and felt the strangest sense of wanderlust. Days if not weeks later that person would come back and recount going to the exact place that was on the map. He took pictures, took some soil/fauna/flora samples. After asking if he could remember how to come back to it the guy said that he couldn't. He returned but the map he used was gone. And no matter how hard they tried, none of them could pinpoint where in the actual fuck the location was or how the person even got there.

It's rough but a game about being a cartographer mapping places in the world that's hidden just outside the periphery of human consciousness. I'm sure someone here could really refine the idea if they wanted to but that shit keeps me awake at night.

And then the places you mapped would get weirder and weirder.

I'll bite, why the hell would anyone actually bring up the Suffering 2 as opposed to say Silent Hill?

This post made me lose

i imagine a challenge in this game would be devising a way to "get lost" in order to collect maps of surreal territories.

Because I view silent hill is more underworld than abandoned city.

You know in some ways an endless mall full of shoppers would be worse than an empty one. Lines to go to the bathroom, lines winding around the entrances to stores, lines to get into elevators. Crowds so packed you can only see a few feet in front of you. When a sale is announced at a store that whole area becomes insta death. Shoplifters stealing your shit, security guards you have to sneak around, people mistaking you for an employee because you're wearing business casual. Jesus christ how horrifying.

If that wasn't a horror concept I can imagine you stumbling into an unmapped village where you meet an extremely qt timid pure farm girl who falls in love that you immediately kick it off with but the moment you step out of the village's borders and turn around it immediately disappears never to be tracked again.

The only memories you have of it is the town layout you made when you were there and the warmth of her smile during the cold nights.
Fuck ;_;

Here's a horror concept. You're some sad, minimum wage super market worker that lives in the bad part of town, where getting gunned down/stabbed/beaten to death isnt a surprising thing. You live there as an awkward guy that no one talks to except one girl, who's actually a nice person to boot. You now have to live with the concept that she might end up dead one day, the game is centered around not ending up around not ending up alone and not losing the one person that brings some light in your otherwise dark existence

We want horror games you fucks. Not suicide incentives.

I'll just post this here because it always freaked me out, nothing about vidya. When I graduated college and was on my own, a group of friends and I rented a really shitty low rent apartment in what was essentially a fucking ghetto. Like, no lease agreement and the landlord was this chubby Asian guy that only wanted cash for some reason. Most the other apartments on the street were boarded up and vacant and I was pretty sure drug deals were going on around them constantly.

Anyway, in one hallway closet there was a massive gaping hole that led to a space between the walls. It looked like someone had smashed it out with a sledgehammer or something and all the insulation was gone so you could just climb in. Obviously, none of us did because it was creepy as fuck and we all mostly ignored that closet.

Our neighbors in the apartment above us (not our dbag landlord) ultimately gave us the reason. A bunch of illegal immigrants previously lived in the apartment. When the authorities came to deport them, one of them made that hole so they could hide. It didn't work, they still got found, but imagine hiding in the space between walls and listening as your family is forcibly dragged away, screaming.

God, that entire apartment was just constant nightmare fuel. We only stayed for like 6 months until we could pool enough money to get something better.

Hmm ... might want to try sunken city when it comes out, it might sort of scratch that itch.

Be strong friend. Perhaps one day.

It’s actually the concept of being no clipped out of reality. Have you ever seen images of angels being surrounded by a void of pure black, does this creep you out a little that this may be reality? This is in a certain way a representation as reality as the void, the idea that reality is a fragile thing and you can end up in a chaotic place which is empty and alone forever with a twisted hint of the uncanny nostalgia - the rooms themselves being a trace of the reality you thought you knew being shown in a completely chaotic and meaningless manner. This concept is 10x scarier when you are religious. Imagine there being a void of pure never-ending black void outside of the rooms. Have you played these unfinished ‘games’ where there is only empty rooms and the never ending void outside of them? Kind of like that hidden edexcel game.

It also plays on the fear that reality is like a video game, you can break it and then there is nothing.

That’s why saying that someone can travel in and out of the rooms ruins it, also the concept of it being another dimension, it isn’t another dimension but reality in its true form and once you are stuck there you are trapped forever.

This. It's the sightly surreal combination of the wallpapered walls (which are usually used for private and comfortable spaces) with the celling dented cold lights that would be fitting an office or store space more than anything you'd want to live in - all that combined with the odd dimensions (the doors do not fit most commonly respected ratios) and the nonsensical, but still papered divider.
And given the lack of any other furniture that would give us more information, it's just extremely difficult to gauge what kind of space is this supposed to be. While it is relatively subtle, it very effectively messes with our heads - we are far more sensitive to various environmental clues for comfort than we are consciously aware off, and this picture plays on that fact.

The combination of us not being able to discern what is the purpose of that space, and the fact that we mostly don't realize why it's unsettling amplifies the uneasiness.

nothing, it's just a shitty image used with a shitty greentext in the past.

The best it can do is evoke the emotion of disgust because that wallpaper is so outdated and looks like something that a 90 year old grandma would use

>Deep ocean
I'm generally obsessively fascianted by underwater environments and anything deep-sea automatically gets massive plus points, but when it comes to horror in particular, I don't see any other environment that would be more rife with potential.

>Old secluded town
This one comes in second, maybe because I'm fan of shit like Pathologic, Silent Hill, Twin Peaks or Uzumaki - but setting a whole game in a relatively small-ish, secluded but otherwise "normal" town where gradually more and more bizzare things happen is incredibly cool to me.

The rest of the options are really damn boring compared to these two. A space station can work (Alien Isolation did a good job), but the rest has the issue of the environment being almost purely hostile, which makes it dull.
You need sanity, comfort and familiarity to contrast the fear with. That is why environments such as a small town work better for a horror than say - massive alien space ships or cramped sewers.

Actually, if you can't imagine that, you are by most likelyhood an actual clinical autist.

You might be interested in a short game called "Helltown." and a game called Debris. Seeing your interest in ocean and secluded towns, I'll guess these are the only ones that you might not be aware of, since things like SOMA and Silent hill tend to be known.
Another one I'd be interested in is arctic base, can't run away, without freezing to death so you have to stay locked in with what ever it is, and a THING like monster, because that would create major paranoya, something more focused on things like logic/stealth more than combat.

Jesus christ what engine is this? It looks like shit.

Yeah, I dreamed a lot of what could be done with The Thing settings but in contemporary tech and design philosophy. It feels like it's the one fucking thing the whole industry was gearing towards: with all the hide-and-seek games, survival sandboxes and super-detailed facial models: A proper The Thing game.

I'd like to see a more Pathologic-like approach, with a sandbox-ish environment, time-driven narrative and relatively "emergent" story development.
In fact, the more that I think about, the more I realize how fucking fantastic that as a base platform could be.

i think there's a lot of potential with a survival horror game where you play as a kid in a grocery store or mall.
could be a scenario when you get locked in after the mall closes.
plays on the childhood fear of getting separated from your mom
80/90s style mall for the nostalgia factor. those red bulky coupon dispensers in grocery stores could print coupons with hints to puzzles.
many cool environment interactions if you're a kid. climbing on grocery shelves, hiding in the clothing racks or the ball pit, etc.
what would you be hiding from? that, i dont know.
i wrote something that was 1000 characters long, realized it was shit, then cut it down

Literally nothing. It takes a real smooth brain to be afraid of an empty room

Didn't we already have a fucking horror game where we were a baby?

Yeah, but it did not really take advantage of the potential and the premise. It was all rather boring, in fact. Shame, because the concept was fine.

nice clip

No, I mean like one big underground parking garage that seems like it goes on forever, just nothing but rows of parked cars, concrete pillars and florescent lights.

The labs in STALKER

There aren't enough minorities represented on it.

Have you read the story of the ancient Greek Pytheas? He tells some tales of going so far north that the sea turned into some kind of jellyfish like substance, it's an interesting legend: ancient-origins.net/history-famous-people/did-ancient-explorer-make-it-arctic-325-bc-008005

Can porn games have atmospheric horror?
Closest thing I've seen is Succubus Prison, but the horror is overshadowed by the porn.

there that text adventure with that crazy girl friend. That's pretty creepy... don't remember what it's called.
Illbleed and D2 are close to porn

The labs in Stalker were absolutely fucking amazing: but again, they only worked so well because they were part of a larger picture. Remove the rest of the game, focus only on the labs, and you'll end up with a very dull game.

Penumbra probably gave underground labs the best shot I've seen, and for it's time it was fantastic, but still... it's a bit meh looking back at it.

That's not really scary as much as it is just the timer adding tension.

It's not. In fact spending eternity in a maze just sort of wandering around seems pretty relaxing.

SOMA is the game for you.

Niggers in the corners

You just ripped off the elevator game.

There's a game? What's the name?

Played and while I enjoyed it for the most part, it really did not get the deep ocean thing going for me AT ALL.
You don't actually explore deep ocean. It could have been as well set in space and little would be different.
Still a good game, and I don't hold it against them.

But I thinking of something along the lines of Subnautica without the god damn training wheels.

Name 5 good horror games that aren't walking simulators or ancient.

SOMA
Observation
Stories Untold
Resident Evil 7
Resident Evil 2 Remake

Is so-called "OP" just a huge fucking faggot?

Are you sure you want to play?

All this talk about the backrooms, wheres the love for the blackrooms?

Harvester was the only game ever to do horror correctly as it was the pinnacle of technology at the time and rather than resorting to jumpscares and monsters, it was constantly unsettling and you didn't know exactly what to expect when entering a room (save for most of the last half of the game).

Really liked stories untold

cool

I wonder what the original author would say about this edit.

The developer just released a new game "Observation". It's also horror. Check it out. Go in blind.
Fuck off.
