How Scary Is This?

[mitchell]

The game looks promising, but all i want to know is how scary is this on a scale of 1-10? I'm normally not a big fan of games that are REALLY scary... Does it get scarier as it progresses?

It managed jump scared me few times but mostly atmosphere and exploring. There is no gore or blood in this game but you can die however but no any gore effects. Game is also pretty short. Good story though. As scary as Slenderman game? not even close. I cant even play that game becuase constant fear and if you die in slenderman you need start whole chapter all over again. save need more check point even that game is also super short too. I dont wanna rate this but slenderman is more scarier. I dont use VR though so not sure of that.

At same level as Outlast and DreadOut. Wich I saying its barely scary, but still a cool experience.

When it comes to the scare factor, it really depends on how you play them, i mean if you put yourself in the position of the main character, in this case, the baby, i am thinking it would be far more freaky, instead of just seeing it as a game, like most people tend to do.

I also think personal connections to some real world links, and someone approaching it as an experience rather than a herp derp game wif goals and, pew pew, and points systems.

The slenderman game isn't scary at all, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Unity game slapped together by an amateur in about a weekend. It completely lacks atmosphere, all it does is startle the player in an obnoxious manner.

Among The Sleep does have it's share of jumpscares and loud audio cues, but at least those are competently made.

I think this does both psychological and jumps, but also the build up was very good. The only issue I had was death, should have had a bit more fear to it and felt more serious of an impact, and it would have been perfect I think.

Ok, you think you can do better, go right ahead. :-)

For me, wasn't scary at all. Wasn't even tense like Outlast, not even near. I get more scared playing CS:GO with 2hp left on me.

That is exactly what I did and definitely made for a more interesting playthrough.

Im a gigantic ♥♥♥♥♥ with horror games but this one never got me too badly. Not so much scary, as intense and creepy. Amazing atmosphere.
