Much jumpscares?
Really would like to play the game..huge fan of horror games but I totally hate jump scares in games.
Is this game with much jump scares or more like only few like in Resdient evil 7?
Because Outlast 1 was way to scary for me with all the crazy jump scares xD

There are quite a few jumpscares. Roughly the same as Outlast :)

Hmm you say there are the same big amount of jumpscares like in 1? Cause I read some reviews and they said there are way less..just wanted to make sure before playing this game..what do you other people say?

Only horror movies that attempt to make the top lists of "scary movies without jumpscares" don't have jumpscares :) And creepy documentaries of course.

But since you've mentioned RE7 as having "only few", I'd say it's about the same. In the way that there's "tension build up" most of the time. But honestly, jumpscares are usually "only few" otherwise they wouldn't be jumpscares. They'd be expected all the time.

When you're used to horror movies and games you instinctively hold a check list of conditions preparing a jumpscare and when there is going to be a jumpscare you think "There's totally gonna be a jumpscare any second now." because the timing, music, the location are a typical pre-jumpscare and they don't work so well. I understand why you'd hate jumpscares :)

It mixes it up with jumpscares and sounds, it does a great job I thought.
