I tune it up with dark settings to help intensify the horror levels. That's how you can enjoy the game. What's the point if you cannot even feel the scariness of the game. You need to create a proper environment for your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those, who think it's not scary, just play it while lights switched off and high volume. Those screams and SFX will freak out literally everyone. The visuals are what make it ridiculously scary like you're on some kind of drugs and have a crazy nightmare but you just can't wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, without the linking up of my physical environment with that of the horror video games or horror movies, I don't get to feel the effects used in either of them.

Exactly, with such visuals and an scary upgrade in its graphics, there's no way it wouldn't freak you out whenever you get into playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think for a horror genre, audio is also as important as the visuals. Correct use of sounds like screams, bass boosted noises etc. helps to create an environment which makes the gamers freak out while playing at high volumes. 😆 Edited August 26, 2021 by Razor1911 killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it goes from 0 - 1000 real quick and back to zero also plays a factor in why it's such a scary horror game. 31 minutes ago, Razor1911 said: But I think for a horror genre, audio is also as important as the visuals.

We wouldn't be scared at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound and lightning is something that can't be eliminated from horror genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am a huge fan of horror movies, and that's how I developed interest to play horror games. Normally, I don't like horror games. But the only two games that I had played was good enough to recommend someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think the Outlast series was made by some kind of drug user - there's no way somebody just came up with this kind of stuff naturally. Either the creator took lots of LSD or is extremely twisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen people, who still finishes every game irrespective if they really enjoy playing that or not. I normally, play only the games I likes, not because such a crap I have purchased and I am obliged to finish that. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
