Hey guys, I just released this small horror game I made in a week. It would mean a lot to me if you play it and give me some honest feedback ❤️ https://capcrowgames.itch.io/the-beacons-end

One thing I love about the timeloop genre is whenever they really explore in their own unique ways the existential horror of being trapped in a timeloop. Often cases a very isolating experience. With many possibilities that can sometimes go to very terrifying places and explore interesting concepts.

One aspect I also rather get into is when it really starts to get at the characters psyche. In turn for the player, it can feel like an immersive kind of hell. These are some that have been my favorite.

You know. there's a description in the game about mouthwash being ineffective because of the high sugar content. Lots of theories that it's just a metaphor for the futility of the teams goals, or the futility of the whole situation.... but it's in the game...

And this is where I start to realise some funny things.

Some of my friends sometimes use "mouthwashing" to cover up bad breath..... and that's where we get to the fun part.

*SPOILERS!!!

Jimmy throughout the game hides from _responsibility, he blames Curly for all his failures, he ignores all the facts, he thinks "everything will be fine", but in fact all the problems have not been solved, they have become 100% worse. Jimmy is just hiding all the bad stuff in his mind. Ineffective mouthwashing can't kill bacteria.... it can only hide the problem. and make it worse.

Sugar and alcohol can also reduce pain. Sugar by releasing endorphins, and alcohol by dulling perception.

Was wondering if anyone had seen or played enough to know which version is ideal for the “full” experience. I’m planning on maybe making a spiritual successor that leans more into horror but still kid friendly-ish perhaps, so studying this game properly would be a huge benefit. Thanks in advance

As I am female, I have a hard time playing as male protagonists in video games. there seems to a lack of female protagonists in horror video games. But maybe I just haven't found any. So if anybody has any suggestions that would help because I'm in the market for a new game. (I've already played Alice the Madness returns and Fran Bow)

Edit: please do not include games with a heterosexual romance subplot (one that includes the protagonist)

🇮🇹 Italian

Luna nuova, cielo nero

Urla il vento al cimitero

Sasso, ferro, campananaccio

Ringhia il lupo nel crepaccio

Drum-a drum-a drum-a bell

Drum-a drum-a drum-a bell

Sangue rosso, bello scuro

Campanaccio col tamburo

Campanaccio col tamburo

Sta morendo il tuo futuro

Sasso, ferro, pece, cuoio

Vola in alto l'avvoltoio

Corvi neri senza il cuore

Spunta l'alba del rancore

Corna, maschere, fascine

Brucian tutte le vetrine

Tuoni, fulmini, faville

Brucia il cielo di scintille

Urla il vento, sale il fuoco

Gela il cuore poco a poco

Gela il sangue, gela il cuore

Nella grotta del dolore

Cola il sangue dell'agnello

Quando luccica il coltello

🇬🇧 English

New moon, black sky

Shrieks the wind in the cemetery

Rock, iron, bell

Growls the wolf in the crevasse

Drum-a drum-a drum-a bell

Drum-a drum-a drum-a bell

Red blood, nicely dark

Bell with the drum

Bell with the drum

Your future is dying

Rock, iron, tar, leather

The vulture flies high

Black crows without heart

Sprouts the sunrise of rancor

Horns, masks, kindling

All the windows burn

Thunders, lightnings, sparks

The sky burns with sparks

The wind screams, the fire rises

The heart freezes, slowly, slowly

The blood freezes, the heart freezes

In the cave of pain

Drips the blood of the lamb

When the knife glints

Here’s a couple of mine that come to mind. What’s yours?

Are there any decent video games that combine eldritch horror with modern warfare?

RE5 and 6 are the worst Re games

I watched the gameplays and althought rough it seems fine and kinda new. I'm sure there were other games before that let you play as other people and adapt the gameplayto their skills (Watch Dogs Legion for example), but I'm not sure that was implemented in the horror genre before.

How is it? Is the atmosphere good enough for you?

There's something about those games that I love.

I'm talking about games such as Kiosk, VHS Paradise, or even The Mortuary Assistent.

Basically games where you do some tasks without being under significant time pressure, while simultaneously being creeped out. Do you guys have any suggestions for games which fit that criteria?

Crow country is a fun puzzle horror

Hey horror games reddit, I'm 16f and not new to gaming (not great though, more casual and not too used to shooters and stuff), but just started my first sort of horror game (the last of us) and I have been progressing but very slowly and there's this one part I just can't get past. The atmosphere and nature of the clickers and such don't scare me at all as I stealth, but the second they notice me and attack I just freeze up and fumble while trying to fight them and they always end up killing me and my heart gets all fast and I have to exit the game cause I get so panicked. Ik people might say I should just stop playing then but I do actually enjoy the game and want to play it(and other horror games too!), I just don't know how to get over this panic response. Any others experience anything similar or have any tips to get past it to play?

Thanks so much :))
