@cammers1995 I’m not an avid steam horror gamer so I don’t have much of an idea of how many times this Camera mechanic has been used in indie titles but I feel like this title did it well. Obviously they were influenced by Fatal Frame but I never found that franchise to be scary rather nerve racking and tense. I find the modern horror game industry to be pretty similar to the modern horror film industry. Studios have run out of ideas minus the one rare hidden gem and very rarely a big budget company releasing an original and effective title. It’s kind of sad honestly.
You guys have way too high expectations for indie horror. Silent hill was developed by a AAA studio with a AAA budget. Despite agreeing with the overused scares, this title is packed with atmosphere, decent pacing, and a number of influences from classic survival horror games. The switch version desperately requires resolution and texture optimizations and sitting at 45.99 Canadian, the devs/publisher are asking for far too much while providing too little, especially considering you can purchase RE7 for that price and RE8 when it’s on sale.
