BigBossBalrog Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 I've been waiting on this game forever. It's a Survival Horror game reminiscent of gameboy ones, taking place in WW1, and designed like an old Resident Evil. Backed in on kickstarter about five years ago, and it finally came out. Pretty fantastic so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Nice. Looks like Resident Evil meets The Bunker meets Signalis. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a trend coming out of the indie survival horror revival that seems to favor a top down, isometric perspective Yeah and WW1 is looking popular again. Which I don't mind, because its a good setting for horror. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Yeah the game is bloody awesome. I almost forgot how bloodthirsty the French can be. And yeah, WW1 really sucked Already some rep for your boys everyone Random stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 There's an encounter that I think is a homage to the village sequence from 4 and Village. They drop you in a section of the Trench with limited supplies, limited support, a bunch of cool mechanics (like puckle guns that run out of ammo and exploding barrels) and expect you to survive for five minutes with your five mates They retreat...and then the gassing starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think Trench Warfare was harsh, you had millions dying in open field battles during the opening months. French waving naked swords with their bright uniforms, Russian human waves and sweeping cavalry meeting machine gun nests. Germans losing eight hundred thousand trying to race to Paris then the coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 The Germans are portrayed as souless monsters who only speak with demonic German (due to the heavy reberation of their gas masks, which have red lenses) and haggard, raspy breathing It's really badass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Finished! Game took me fifteen hours to beat. It's pretty large, and there's a fair amount of variety. I thought It'd be just trenches but the main setting is a trenchline, a swamp, a shelled out town, and a ruined fortress I've never seen the horrors of war done in this kind of way Felt like a tour through hell. And you have to do some super questionable fucking stuff yourself. I highly recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Doctor Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Tagging @ColonelKillaBee because I know you don’t frequent this thread as much, but I think you’d like it too. This video is part of a larger series, but is particularly unsettling in a Dead Spacey sort of way. The series overall is quite good. Like a found footage cross between Bloodborne and Dead Space, with lots of hidden stuff to find and piece together as is often the case with quality analog horror. 2 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it used right, it's a really cool medium. I recommend this too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Gemini, Greylock, and Backrooms are the best three that I’ve seen. It’s a very unique way of doing horror. Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 @BigBossBalrog if you haven’t seen Greylock, I reccomend checking it out. It has a really good and disturbing story. If Gemini is more of cosmic/outer horror, then I’d say this is more inner/depths of the subconscious horror. Though it has its share of monsters as well. There is one sequence in particular, probably the scariest part of the series, that is very clearly inspired by The Thing, but with some unique twists. It is one of the most horrifying "found footage" sequences I’ve seen. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only twelve "tapes" out so far, so it doesn’t take that long to get through. For my money, I think Gemini builds more dread, but Greylock is scarier and feels more "authentic".

I was like wtf the entire time lol. There's something so deeply unnerving as planets deep in outer space, and I never knew how to explain what I was feeling until I read lovecraft. That creepy anxious feeling is existential dread of seeing something so alien and weird, and also the isolation you feel when seeing a barren planet in the middle of nowhere. 1 Quote "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Greylock is my favorite of these analog horror series, I wanted to share Gemini with you because it seems so up your particular alley. I’d reccomend the whole series from the beginning. It’s pretty damn spooky. Very Lovecraftian, with a mix of folk horror. Similar to Bloodborne in that the monsters are just a symptom of a greater eldritch threat.

ColonelKillaBee Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 i take back what I said lol they emptied their rifles on that damn thing im gonna call a Mimic. In clips of that scene it didnt seem that bad, but watching it all together, yikes. Very unsettling. Definitely a sort of pocket realm hunter, Lovecraft has a story of something like that in a wax figure museum. 1 Quote "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
