Video Game Horrorthon 2017

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Hi all,
I had asked if there was interest in doing this thread again this year, didn't get much back.
I said I'd start it up anyway.

There isn't really rules or anything it's just to play some horror games through October. There was a few new games I heard about through it last year so hoping for the same again this year.

I started Siren Blood Curse again to collect the archive items, took me a bit to get used to it again but I'm slowly getting there.
I may start Corpse Party Book of Shadows afterwards.

Anyone playing anything interesting?

I say it all the time but I don't think there's ever been a better horror game that Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. You can pick it up for a pittance on Steam.

Fiver! :eek:

I guess Bloodborne would be another recommendation if you wanted the "Lovecraftian" experience.

There was another one I played all ten minutes of ages ago... Ah it wasn't Lovecraft, it was Clive Barker's Undying. (Also a fiver. Well, five euro and nine cent. https://www.gog.com/game/clive_barkers_undying )

I went to start Resident Evil 7 last night but got distracted, but that intro scene has some really dodgy uncanny valley stuff going on.

I'd love to play through The Walking Dead season 3 but I only have the first 2 episodes and was waiting for the season pass to go on sale only to find out wouldn't allow me to buy it because I already had 2 episodes, didn't make any sense.

Looking forward to Amnesia on PS4 this week and posing Friday 13th around Halloween. I would love to get a loan of the PSVR just to play Resi 7 on Halloween night, pity you can't rent it out.

I don't need too much stress so I'll avoid Resi or PT & replay Until Dawn if I get the time.
I have Walking Dead season 3 to start & finish too

Forget Layers of Fear. It's just a series of cheap jump scares that become laughable quickly.

Got it with the humble bundle, Mary Skelter: Nightmares arrived today for the Vita, will give that a go instead.

The one thing I watch is the Sh*tstorm of Scariness. (I used to watch everything by these guys, but I got jaded of their shtick).

I only started watching them this year, really like watching them but it's hard to go back to their older stuff tbf.

I must go over a few old games (I don't own a PC or current gen... funds and lack of free time are the main reasons).

I have Alien: Isolation, but chickened out... might reply The Evil Within before the second one comes out on the 13th.

Some great older games. I didn't play loads of AI but I did really enjoy it. I'm absolutely useless at Evil Within controls just don't suit me played it at a friends, watched the playthrough on Best Friends actually, I just wanted to see how it went.

I genuinely can't get my head round playing something like RE7 in a PSVR. I'd completely freak out. Not even sure copious amounts of alcohol would get me through it.

It's so much fun, really loved it, played it at a friends house and it's super scary, you know things are behind you.

I have Detention, Layers of Fear and White Day to do me so far on Steam.

Detention I've not heard of, would love to play White Day let me know what you think of it, might be able to soon.

I might finally play corpse party on the vita.

First one isn't that long for the main story, I haven't started the 2nd yet but I'm hoping to play it on Vita

I have Alien: Isolation, but chickened out. Same with the original Silent Hill (I know!). Just completed Dead Space 2 on zealot (woo cheevo...*sigh). I might go back and play the third.

FEAR is always a good "go to", might reply The Evil Within before the second one comes out on the 13th.

Picking up a PSVR soon (mate gave me a good deal on his one 2nd hand), so Resident Evil demo will be given a go :P

I actually really enjoyed Layers of Fear. Has some interesting ideas and at 4 hours doesn't outstay its welcome.

I played Outlast and was enjoying it until the first jump scare about 20 minutes in.
Nope!

Yeah a bit is fine but too much screaming would turn me off personally. You could always like kinda beep it out or something maybe if it's to much?

I enjoyed the first one but didn't do the extra, I picked up the NTSC 3DS version and said that would be my excuse to play that one.
Looking forward to the second one.

I'm looking forward to playing Dying Light later in the month.

I'd join. Been meaning to give Outlast a try after getting it free a while back, and might attempt my annual Amnesia playthrough this month as well.

I can't wait to get my hands on the Amnesia collection on Tuesday and going to get back into Daylight. Also hoping there's going to be a good horror sale on the ps store. Have 2 corpse party games on the vita so I'll give them a go as well.
