Disable the "monster".

[Swindahl]

I would like to have this as an option before i start the game. I know many ppl love scary games, so do i.
But in this game i wanted a more "Dear Esther" feeling.
So if possible, would the developers consider this ?
And what would you guys think to atleast have an option BEFORE you start the game.

Still great game!!! :)

AK would not help, you need the weapon from the ghostbusters

You see very little of the monster anyways, what's there seems to help drive the story, it's a key element. Wonder if disabling the monster would add further notes to the game to help it make more sense I wonder?

People just like different things. It's a matter of preference, no point in arguing about such things.. Many people who do not like action games chose this one (and not for example amnesia) because this is mostly a walking simulator/psychological horror game, and there are still not a lot of those kind of (non-action) games out there.

If both (/many) choises/modes would be available in this game then it would appeal to more people and both of the different kinds of players would get what they want. It would be a win-win situation.

I have actually thought about playing Murdered:soul suspects myself, but have not done it for the same reason you mentioned, the demons.. I have never changed a games config file and don't know if it would be too hard for me.. But good to know its possible, I just hope there was an easier way. That's actually a game that has for many players the same problem that this one has, it's mostly non-action but there are a few rare action bits that scare the non-action players away..

Changing config files is really easy. Find file, open in notepad, change numbers. I usually make a copy of the original config file and keep it separately so I can change it back. An online search told me which files to change.

"change numbers" - where and what number?

Maybe you could disable the monsters, but replace it with dread orange fog.

If only the monsters' disabled, the game will become a boring vacation-tour game.

Without any expectation of danger, even noob player will definitely explore whole map in one hour.

Its could be an option. WHy do ppl think its gonna be the other way or the other. It could be both, just choose HOW you want to play the game before you start the game.
Everyone is happy :)

Play the game. Then talk about the monsters. The monsters are apparently to push us to go a particular direction.

There's one place where no matter how or when I approach it, I get insta-killed by the monster. Apparently, I'm not supposed to go that way, at least not yet. But it's annoying to have to keep starting over.

[Swindahl]

Well, if the monster NEEDS to be at some locations because of progress in the game. Leave it be there, but all the random-location spawning could be disabled ( leave it as a option on/off ).

I've run into two places that are inaccessible because of monsters. In one place, all I can do is turn back and run away. I've tried multiple times to run forward in different directions, but am ALWAYS surrounded by fog and insta-killed.

In another place, I'm trapped in a place with NO way out (at least none that I can find in the two seconds it takes for the monster to jump me), and the monster is blocking the ONLY exit, so I can't go back the way I came.

Feeling a tad frustrated right now.

Please, make easy mode without monsters. I'm so disappointed in this game now ... Эти монстры просто мешают играть, мешают вникать в сюжет ... как назойливые мухи. -((

[Zweihander]

I would appreciate a function to remove the ghost or a mod possibly? The survivalist achievement is gonna drive me crazy!

[Lowrater]

I would love this too. I'm a chicken to horror games, and i'm actually more interested in the story than getting wed pants.

Pah. Why don't you just go and see a movie if you just play the game for the story?

Cause a movie isnt the same thing as playing a game ?
The movie takes u through the story, while a game letting you go through the story by yourself.

I think Fireeye missed the whole point of videogames if you compare it to movies.

But its my imo.
