This vs Outlast?

[Vlad]

How scary is this compared to Outlast? I wasn't really scared during Outlast, just nervous and jumpy. I want something way scarier than Outlast.

Would this be worth it?

in my opinion it is scary, but look up reviews or gameplay on youtube then try it out for yourself

plus this is original and new and cheap unlike 20$ for the same horror game

From what I've seen thus far this game consists of axiety filling mechanics and jump scares. More of a 90's horror style than modern games. If that sounds appealing give it a go.

Personally I'm a much bigger fan of Psychological horror through story, so I'm not picking this up. Games like Alan Wake, FEAR, and TellTales' The Walking Dead are my bread and butter.

It's not very fair to compare, I mean I think Outlast is far better mainly due to length and higher budget. Although this is better for being unique and adding a new feeling of helplessness to the genre, no weapons and you can't move? damn.

Both are good in their own rights.

I agree with Fazbear in that this game is not really comparable directly to ones like Outlast.

Outlast makes you tense, it trys to psych you out as well.

Five Nights at Freddy's is pure anxiety, dread and paranoia, where the goal is to not die by simply making it to 6am. I've played Anmesia and Silent Hill 2 and those made me tense. I played FN@F and I had to stop and lay down.

So it really depends on what you want. The game does have a story and its a nice mystery to try and find it hidden within the game (they don't actually tell you) - but you want more story in your face its not the game for you. If you want to be beaten with a stick emotionally, it is DEFFINITLY the game for you.

This game isn't scary at all. Quite a mediocre attempt at jump scares and making you paranoid. Of course this is my personal opinion. Watch a playthrough of Night 1 then you can consider whether it's for you or not.

Night 1 is a very tame night, barely anything happens and is more to get you acquainted with it. The other 6 nights after that (yes there are 7 nights) are when thigns get strange. Once golden freddy appears on night 3 it just flies off the handle.

Beisdes, there's a free demo version on the creator's website that elts you play to the end of night two.

You can actually set the levels of the creatures and play it as many times as you want.

I've finished it. It's not as scary (imo of course) as people claim. It's about as scary as Slenderman, which isn't saying much.

Its a YMMV situation. Not everyone is affraid of the same thing. The anxiety, tension and paranoia of the game work 100% for me. Obvioously, its not the same for you. :)

I seen playthroughs of both FNAF and Outlast, and FNAF scares me way more than Outlast ever did.

[Baguette]

It really depends what you define as 'Horror' do you like the tension and heart pounding moments hiding and searching or you think of it as sudden moments such as Jumpscares and tension. If the first then Outlast, if the second then this.

[SgtSarath]

I like this game because of the 90's graphics. Gave me an instant buy urge.

[rinse]

Outlast had some good scares in the beggining and slowly lost it about 2 hours into the game. In horror, I look for something that freaks me out, and makes me tense about the situation as if I were in it, for the whole time through. FNAF made my heart race through out the whole game. Its a pretty short game however, but it works extremely well. And with five bucks you can't really go wrong.

I think the real question here is...Are you Ready4Freddy?
