headshot, im deadly serious, im what you might call an extreme pussy when it comes to horror. had to play fear with a buddy and condemned too, and even then condemned fucked me up good. I love adventures and was looking forward to this till i realised you have to sneak round enemies in the dark and it totally put me off, my nerves just canne take it cap'n.


lol still not the sort of thing most people would admit to but I respect that. Also the enemies you sneak around in this game are mostly canines and not really scary at all. Give the game a go. It is worth it and probably not quite fucked up as Condemned in my opinion.


Its funny, because although I tend to shit it when i'm playing horror games aswell, I still play all the way through them.

As I said earlier in the thread, when I first started playing I was creeped out too, but I came back to it and had a great time playing it. Although the same creepy atmosphere pervades the vast majority of the game, the only other time I can say I was shitting it again was at the ending.

As headshot said, the zombified dogs you encounter through most of the game arn't scary, although there are some tense moments later on. Remember, it's not the rock making those noises!

There's one or two games I had to quit playing because they freaked me out too much - System Shock 2 is definitely the game where I tried the hardest though. Respawning enemies + creepy sounds + creepy setting + creepy animations = scary as hell. It just made me jump too much since you couldn't rest *anywhere*.

Another very scary part of a game is The Cradle in Thief 3. Nearly made me stop playing near the end, damn freaky.

The only game that ever did creep me out was Darkseed. Pretty old now tho!

Edit: Actually also thinking about it, the original Thief game. Those skeletal dudes wandering around the haunted cathedral as I hid in the darkness and the noise of their chainmail chinking! Man yeah that did freak me out!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

The thread is a bit old but there's now a demo available for the second (And final) episode "Black Plague" and there's also a review over at IGN. Smile

Hmm...after installing, in the redist folder there is a mysterious file called super_secret.exe. Its 64mb, passworded and a self-extracting archive. Wonder what it is...an easter egg maybe? Gotta pay attention, maybe the password is hidden inside the game... Very Happy

The issue with Vista arises because of the fact that the executable on the disc which you need to run to install the game, and which is also set as the 'autorun' is 500MB+ in size. So it takes Vista quite a while to do its gay little verify executable integrity stuff on it. Just wait a while and eventually the give access box will pop-up, and the installer will run fine.
