It's so funny how different peoples ideas of whats scary vary to such large degrees. i see people saying that this game isnt scary, whereas for me there were plenty of times i was nervous about progressing due to the idea of the alien always lingering around you. Meanwhile i saw another person in this thread say that this game isnt scary, but outlast 2 is, and yet i found the entire outlast series, even 2 to be a yawn fest. i think for me, while this isnt the scariest game i've played, its much scarier than something like outlast, as there are so much more possibilities, whereas in outlast its just "oh no somethings chasing you" to now nothing is happening to "oh no im being chased again." to me its like the most boring roller coaster ride ever, and you always know when you're safe and when you're not, which ruins an important part of horror for me. idk just thought this was interesting, hope you enjoy, dead thread :)

pink, you maybe right

This game is probably the best example of perfect "ATMOSPHERE"!
Beyond that the fear aspect is based solely on the individual playing and how wicked their own imagination is.
Which, when watching people play for the first time makes it so damn brilliant.
Also to add; read this post and burst out laughing as I know a person whom hid in a closet to never leave due to the atmosphere alone.

No. Just no. This game is not scary at all. Quit being little baby and play the heckin' game.

Past the first hour of scripted jumpscares the "horror" aspect ends. Get past that and almost anyone can play.

XD

Instructions unclear ended up blowing up my computer instead

Boi if you get scared at this game than dont even try outlast 2.

This game is like a comedy show to me.

Thank you for letting me know this, it is very helpful
