Jump Scares?

[Depressio Auditore]

Is this game more focused on jump scares to initiate a scare or does it do a good job with ambient sounds and shadows, to show the fright?

It does a good job with ambient sounds and shadows to show the fright. Here's a quote taken from the game's kickstarter...

True terror
"Visage is a psychological horror game. This means that it's not the typical jump-scare fest we see these days. (It’s not that we don't like these types of games. We do. But we also wish there were more horror games that try to generate fear primarily through atmosphere and by getting inside your head.) You can expect to feel true terror created by a very dark, realistic atmosphere and the presence of entities you wish you’d never seen."

There are jump-scares in the game but they're VERY infrequent and aren't abrasively loud like in Five Nights at Freddy's.

Thank you for this post. I vary much appreciate it. But what is your person opion on the game?

I haven't bought a horror game in like 15 years. I've been eagerly following their progress for the last two. In short, it's my favorite game! You should buy Visage to see for yourself.

Haven't finished the first chapter yet but I agree with Ovrkil. Atmosphere and events are well-done and evocative, the intro in particular is excellent and i've heard that the ending is good too. Also love the use of the tools you acquire in the game, they help guide and support the player while also keeping the game tense.

There are some notable problems but I'm convinced that these developers are dedicated and will be doing their best to make the game as polished as possible once it finally releases. The game is also going to increase in price once it leaves early access (likely to $30) so you potentially save $10 if you buy it now. Otherwise there's no problem with waiting until it leaves early access. Watch some gameplay / trailers online if you're curious.
