This game is crazy

[mcgreggd]

I can't play this game for long because it creeps me out. But when I'm not playing it I keep thinking what secrets does the game hold and I have this strange thought that if I don't finish it maybe I will be trapped in the game when i die... It's disturbing

Ok thanks for keep me up tonight

Oh you can't tell me you deny your urges for the Succubus, you'd totally bang her if she wanted it from you. Now if you REALLY (No offense intended to Agony team) to be creeped out by a game, then try Amnesia: Dark Descent & Don't Knock Twice.

After you discover you can run around and slap demons the game is not that scary anymore... at least for me. But interesting to see Don't knock twice here, it is in my list. I played a bit of Amnesia but i didn't think it was scary.

And oh, just imagine it. You die. You see a light, and you think, oh God, i'm going to heaven.
Then something holds your feet, and then your leg. You look down, and there is an opening, and the Red Goddess appears mad with you and say "NO WAY, YOU DIDN'T FIND ME YET, COME BACK HERE TO AGONY!".

huh

Possible spoilerish stuff - not really specific s but more thematic, but I'll spoiler text it anyway.
Considering the nature of Hell in this game, and where the story is drawn from, it's less a question of not finishing the game and more a question of knowing Jesus, as the Hell depicted in Agony is meant to represent the exact Hell depicted in the bible for unbelievers. If you're familiar with the bible everything in this will click at some point - especially when you discover who you are, who the Red Goddess is, and especially once you finish the game and get the standard ending. The more you're familiar with it the more things make sense. Personally I find it awesome how they managed to connect everything together so well. It's an attention to detail in weaving fiction out of history and religion that really adds presence to the story.

So, if you've read the spoilered text, yes, it's a place you could get trapped in, but not for failing to complete the game. It's more of a metaphysical question. I leave that to your discernment, but I will say that if you don't want to read the spoilered section, you will regret not finishing the game because it's a very good story and a very good game.

Ugh, another spoilerish comment for our friend up there.
That's part of the story though. You start out feeble, and become stronger as you go, for specific reasons mentioned at the end of the game. That's the whole reason the Red Goddess sends you on the journey - to make you strong enough for what transpires at the end.

Nimrod just gets too powerful for me, making the game even a bit easy after some bit of gameplay. This is not really about story, since you are still in the body of a martyr. Your soul becomes stronger and lets you possess stronger demons. The whole level of strenght that the Red Goddess wanted was to possess the Beast of the Apocalypse, not to become a supermartyr.

This is my point of view on the gameplay not being scary after some time, and i must agree with you about the story, it was really interesting for a person that knows the bible and grew viewing Revelations as something scary and fearful. (:
