are you playing the safe mode?
otherwise you can die pretty soon on

but this game's strong point is the atmosphere, topic, also philosophy, not just another omg thriller (there are other games for this)

[Smile]

the core of fear is danger homie literally nothing can kill you

you'd have to be pretty damn bad to die to anything in this game.

it takes forever, i stood still for like 5 minutes and it managed to kill me, and no i'm not in safe mode.

well maybe something glitched, with later enemies most of people die at least few times overall. It is not most scary game out there, but it was pretty scary for me - which served excellently to keep things focused and crisp and underlined the storyline.

something can be really bad at being scary and people might still find it scary

they can, but if you want a scarier challenge and have the monsters actually attacking you and can kill you easily, play the Brutal Monsters Mod

bit late i already finished the game and seen everything, it would've worked the first time had it been in the game

It's an existential horror story, so disturbing and thought-provoking rather than scary, but there are a few encounter scares that require some inventive solutions.

I mean its like playing the game but with an extreme difficulty, and if its still not challenging enough or maybe even too challenging, the mod includes three difficulties.

I just beat this game and there was nothing whatsoever scary about it at all at any point.

seriously? not the beginning area where you first discover that huge monster stomping around, or the underwater teleporting monster who follows you, even the dude who downed a bunch of that sealant ♥♥♥♥ who's deformed entirely? why does the fear of death have the be the only deciding factor, maybe just maybe the fact that there's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ monsters in this undiscovered place that you know nothing of, deep in the ocean with no escape? impending sense of dread?

sounds like a bunch of edgy teens honestly "this isn't scary at all" bruh this game isn't a OMG SO SCARY LET'S PLAY PHASMOPHOBIA AGAIN, type of game, it's a game that requires a bit of thinking and a lot of curiosity, it requires you to place yourself in the mans shoes as if you are there right now, walking deep underwater in an abandoned facility where humans are merged with machines in freakish proportions, and as a post said above it's an existential horror story, which IF and that's the key word here.. if.. you are immersed in the story from start to finish, you will at some point be scared.

There's a difference between scary and annoying. Personally, I can't be bothered to hide from the monsters that I can't kill or do anything about, so I'm just cheating my way around them. Not because I would be scared, but because it's annoying af to just stay crouched all the time and avoid the monsters when all I want is to push forward in the story. At first I also wanted to explore, but when I realized there's literally nothing to do besides uncovering more of the story itself, there's no point in exploration beyond what's necessary to finish the game, so the monsters are more of an annoying obstacle on the way to that goal rather than scary part of the game.

The monsters are part of the games atmosphere which adds to the story also.

If it makes you feel better then it's not a horror game.

Perhaps that was the plan, but it failed to convince me. In fact, the way I feel about the monsters is that they actually ruin the atmosphere. When I think about the story and the atmosphere of this game, I have to force myself to not think about the monsters that ruin otherwise good story. It feels like whoever came up with the idea of adding the monsters, didn't really think it through that well, and it feels like the developers were forced to add the monsters and then didn't really know what to do with them, how to connect them to the game in a way that would make sense gameplay wise.. Perhaps, someone finds them cool, I don't. For me they are just an artificial and unfun way to make the gameplay longer. The game already has a shock gun that is used to stun the robot in the mission where you have to get their chip. Why not to use the same shooting mechanic to get rid of those pesky monsters, or at least have a way to create traps, or at least have a way to distract the monsters and to send them elsewhere? If the reason why they didn't add any of such features was to create suspense, then in my honest opinion they failed and created frustration instead.
