Jump scares?

[|TeM| Reikhardt]

I can deal with a creepy atmosphere but jump scares are just a no no for me. Are there jump scares in this game?

I just finished a playthrough. Not really. Occasionally you'll here a noise off to the side or something, but nothing that really makes you jump.

@BigTpsychoboy thanks for that, I know it's a bit lame but I really hate when stuff jumps out at you!

It's not the sort of game that can use them. All the scenery is static, so nothing ever moves. There won't be anyone hiding behind a door because that kind of thing isn't included in the game engine.

@Steeluloid, that's great, thanks for your reply!

Not jump scares in the sense of something popping out of nowhere. It's all atmospheric. Takes you up to the limit of thinking something is going to jump out at you.

The day change transitions jumpscared me every time, but no. No intentional jumpscares.

I was startled on day 2 when the (spoiler?) fridge door slammed shut but it might just have been that the volume was up pretty high.

There is one jump scare at the end on Day 9 but it's not bad. When you leave a special area some doors slam shut in a hallway. But there's nobody hiding or anything.

Came looking for this after watching the video in room 117 and the damn door goes creeking up half closed. I noped my way off the game so fast. lmao I hate scary ♥♥♥♥, the atmosphere alone has me restless. I don't need to be seeing silhouettes around every corner, nah-ah!

I did the exact same thing just now. I looked for a game play video on YouTube that continued after that scene ad completely muted it. Nothing happened so I continued. Now I'm the day that starts at the super creepy church and just said , well i'm just going to check discussions to see if jump scares happen or ghosts appear out of nowhere etc because I cannot deal with that. I'm ok with the feeling that something will happen, like in Gone Home, but nope, jump scares and creepy appearing ghosts are a big nope.

I think there are audio cues that could qualify as jump scares. Also visually and audibly in the church at start of day 8 and on day 9 in the hallway. They weren't particularly bad, but they were there. I also hate jump scares.
