Does this game have any jump scares?

[iPawk]

I like disturbing and creepy stuff, but hate jumping.

Edit: [Answer] There are a couple of jump scares. :c

[Tomal]

yeah, i think 2 moments of the game have some explicit jumpscares, but mostly is about the atmosphere of creepyness

[BCS]

Yes, there are jump scares.

Possible spoilers; The first jumpscare I encountered was when I solved the musical puzzle inside of the tree-- the Huldra floats for a moment before disturbing images twist into it's likeness. The next few jumpscares- as I remember- are for when you search for 4 lost souls for the Brook Horse. Two of which have jumpscares-- the bloody carriage, and the windmill.

I'm sorry if I've missed anything, feel free to add!

It's a shame, the game looks cool but jumpscares just ruin it. They aren't scary, just startling and cheap.

[iPawk]

Ah man that sucks... guess I'll just try to expect where they are and man up and play... at a later date. Hah.

[Paskwalina]

Nope, that few jumpscares aren't cheap and don't ruin the game. IMO they go well with rest content.

I don't really feel they are jump scares. The first might be surprising but I think they really just signal an achievement (as in progress) in the game.

There are jump scares, but they are few. Something that makes me more comfortable with jump scares is knowing that they can't harm me (as in, there's no game over or fail states connected with these jump scares, they only mark progress).

I tend to stay away from games with jump scares, but I do recommend this one since there are 2½ jump scares, and what I wrote above: they won't hurt me = no stress about them. Just get startled for a moment and continue :)

I encountered the first jump scare (already mentioned in the spoiler bits) and while it was a sort of predictable one due to foreshadowing, it still made me shut down the game. I love atmospheric horror, I absolutely detest jump scares. DETEST. While I didn't consider it a "cheap" one, it made me not want to be immersed in the game anymore.
I'm considering continuing the game because of the folklore theme, but I've felt compelled to look for spoilers/hints just to avoid the jump scares now.

Here's a thought for horror game developers of the atmospheric kind: consider adding a jump scare filter option to your game, where it either pauses the game for you automatically so you can brace yourself, or shows the scene without music, or just in stop motions... or if you're a super cry baby, you get a text description of what's about to happen and then you click "yes" if you really want to see it. I know it breaks immersion, but this is the kind of available option that would make me buy the game because I could feel safe enough to play it.

I get how you feel. But I say you should keep playing it, there are two more (predictable) jumpscares in the game. He wrote them in the spoiler bits too, but they're not that bad. The first one is the worst.
The rest of the game is worth those few jumpies :)

Not really.. It's 2 for each time you play actually. I don't like jumpscares but this game is worth them
