didn't thought I'd be scared by something I won't even see
The Painted World is an incredible tragedy executed with a style that would make most horror games blush. It's simultaneously beautiful and terrifying, and that's why The Painted World is my second favourite AHIT fan map.
I fully and unironically believe that The Painted World is the second greatest AHIT fan map I've ever played, On a gameplay level, it uses the base mechanics in AHIT to further itself, as well as adding new mechanics that it very intuitively tells you how to use, blending both sides together in a way that fascinates me
It takes place in an unfamiliar environment that still keeps the AHIT charm, with its use of autumn trees and dark caves merged with an old mansion or castle. The atmosphere is set from the first scene and then ripped away from you the second you progress the plot, while setting up a mystery in the opening cutscene that's resolved later on in a genuinely heartfelt moment.
Continued in my next reply
I found myself genuinely feeling anxious and panicked throughout because of the constant building of tension. And the fact I got Ending 2 first because I was able to recognize the painting as a Subcon Painting made me feel genuinely rewarded for paying close attention to small details. Even if there was no real threat, I still FELT threatened.
This map is genuinely excellent. Applause to you, my friend, because you had me on the edge of my seat throughout.
I compare a lot of horror maps to Vanessa's Manor, because that level had the advantage of being a surprise for many new players. And most horror mods fail to capture that same feeling, even going into it blind. However, this? This not only met those expectations, but I firmly believe a blind run of this level is more tense than a blind run of Vanessa's Manor. There's something primal about the unseen monster that's constantly lurking. But to talk about it more in depth, I'd like to put the rest of this in spoilers... and in a second comment, cuz this is getting long.
