i can't really consider this a "HORROR" game..

[CapNKirkland]

to me it's more action, salvage survival. nothing has really scared me yet. i've had one or two jump scares hit me and the ocasional "whuuu dafuq" moments but that's not horror.

horror, in my eyes, is a state of atmosphere where you hesitate every choice you make and fear the idea of taking that next step forward, to feel like something is there and about to to unspeakable and unpridcible things yet nothing is there at all, to have my own mind and imagination create the horror without anything physical be delivered inside the game. the idea that no matter what choice you make, you're doomed to a punishment of suffering and lament.

THAT is true horror.

but this game has naked peoples who carry around invisble pianos that they strike for no reason and if anything, the forest itself is a calm and beautiful place..

and that red screen that shows how many days you survived.. that music just make me giggle because of how tacky that string cortet is.

well, from my point of view that s what the game is offering you. because everytime i cut a tree or set up a campfire i fear that i will lure the cannibals to me.

i suppose you could see it that way, but then when you realise that the game's mechanics doesn't work that way.. it gets boring.

I do believe they have stated that most things you do if not stealthy will attract/lure cannibals in ways, the mechanics are meant to be that they are aware of your presense and are trying to seek and hunt you.

The AI isn't fully implemented nor near finished yet, campfires attract them already and so do your structures. You should probably read up on how they are going to make the AI more intelligent and how they plan to make your actions have more consequences before saying "it doesn't work that way" because it sort of does already, even if minimal, and will do a lot more in the future.

nothing i've played has driven me to a point of paranoid insanity if that's what you're asking. i'm either too desensitized to the stuff or nothing has really tapped into what scares me the most.

in terms of best quality and overall production, Amnesia would be #1 because of how well made and community friendly it is. most of the custom storys have been a better experience than the cannon.

anna, and Anna the Extended edition really knows how to bring in the atmosphere i get more goosebumps playing that than any other, though the item searching and lack of direction kills it a little.

there have also been a few free indie games like The Train and Kraven mannor that had a very nice use of mannequines that threw me for a loop once or twice.

Deadspace 1 (in the years before sequals were thought of and before it turned into a generic shoot-em-up thriller) set the bar for a new horror genra that year it was released.

penumbra and Nightmare House 2 were also good half life mods.

I think this game is extremely eerie, and creepy at times. Especially at night, and i'm sure when the work on the A.I. more it'll be worse.

Have you Played Amnesia? It sounds your sort of game

Amnesia was boring as hell. I freaking hated that game, and it just rots in my steam library now.

Cool it sounds like you're a rock. I am going to try Anna out. Might have to look into those indies as well ty

I think the true horror aspects of this game will shine when they start adding more content to the caves and letting us explore them.

[ComfyWolf]

The horror you speak of would be an end-goal for this game. Currently the way the enemies work, and all the bugs the game is riddled with, it ruins the atmosphere you're looking for. It's an incomplete experience, I didn't expect any truly scary stuff to happen this early on.

[Bronsko]

And what do you think sbout Slender/Slender - The Arrival? That was a Game, that really scares the ♥♥♥♥ out of me and hit my taste of Horror perfectly. :) The fear of something you can't see at first, but you know it's there and it threatens and follows you...

[jaytizzle]

I think it will get scarier as it gets further into development.
Better AI and stuff, more atmosphere. All that jazz

the early slender games when that concept was nothing more that a great concept and an urban legend was when it was scary.. now it's nothing more than a meme.
