Caffeine - another impressive upcoming PC indie horror game

Sorry if old.

Anyway, "Caffeine is an indie Sci-Fi Horror game currently in early development. Set on a space station, you awaken as a young boy to find that everyone is gone."

It looks a bit like a mix of Alien and Amnesia, but the dude who's making it says the game takes inspiration from FEAR, Condemned and Doom 3.

It's currently in pre-alpha.

For a game made by one dude, this looks pretty damn good.

Must say, this crowdfunding shit really revived horror genre on the PC.

It is yet unclear whether the title has something to do with zombie coffee machines from hell.

Thoughts?

looks pretty cool. i like scary games.

Looks meh, not to fond of the "just exploring" indie games that have been running rampant lately. I will give the creator props though if he was the only person working on the game.

If you want an actual space horror game, look at Routine, now that's a game that looks like System Shock 2 on crack.

Looks alright, but there are some serious scale issues going on with the main character. Either that, or you play as a dwarf.

You're playing as a kid

whoops. Would help if I read it properly wouldn't it?!

Well even so, the character moves far too slowly, if it stays that pace in the game, I think I would quickly lose interest.

looks like it has potential... the art style doesn't yell out i'm trying to scare you though.. it does have the mood but the happy go lucky graphics are a bit of a put off.

What a strange name, I wonder if staying awake is part of the gameplay.

What's the "impressive" part?

look, i know that when it comes to dwarfism - you've got a short fuse.

but that's kind of an avocado and onion toastie opinion

i thought you were a ham and cheese man? with pepper.

Boooo

Lol I thought the same thing when I was watching it, then I saw you play as a young boy in the topic. It really doesn't look appealing to me, I really hate the "just explore" gameplay some games are doing now and days

Those videos sucked, but the game is in pre-alpha. So what I really should be saying is, show me a video again when it is in beta so I can actually judge. I see nothing scary in those videos. I am not scared of the dark, so that wasn't scary to me.

i love horror but video games are not scary

The music and general atmosphere in the gameplay clip was really creepy. Bit too reliant on jumpscares though. But it looked interesting

Kind of meh, especially with see-something-in-shadows-throw-in-music-cue moments. Seems fairly typical.

Looking great.

I love horror games, it's something that has been lacking for a while.

Either way its not bad since it was made by one guy. You really have to give it to him.

you sir, know me too well. But I think what you are truly forgetting is that the pineapple chunks allow for the argument to become invalidated, more so than the avacado could ever do.

oh yeah. well if we're going to introduce pineapple, then i'd suggest the toastie could only get better.

ham. cheese. egg. baked beans. wholegrain bread. GET WRECKED

touche.....

*goes and buys ingredients* aaaawh yeaaaah!

Sorry, I only like games that I've heard about on TV, and which were made by dev teams of 150+ developers or more.

That is unless this indie game is coming to PS4 anytime soon. If that's the case then I like it.

Looks rather uninteresting.

When is that game going to be released?

@lordlors:

Not soon enough, supposedly later this year but I'd take it with a grain of salt.

You didn't say "Survival" so thats already a great start. Its about time we got something way more irrational.

Nice looking games no doubt.

My friend, most people would rather play Resident Evil with gun variation, unlocks, coop and actual level design than this minimalist pretentious non game shit that has taken over the genre.

...and you base this on what?

Frankly I don't even consider Resident Evil 5 and 6 "horror" games, they're more action to me if anything (they're terrible by the way). If a "horror" game consists of things like having plenty of ammo to kill your enemies all the time then I wouldn't consider it horror.

looks pretty good, though we were given a very slow cinematic playthrough meant to look enticing, some part of me gets the feeling though that what took the player of the second vid about 4 minutes to do would have taken place in 1-2 minutes in any other gamers hands

Silent Hill Shattered Memories was one of the truly modern horror games. Wish there were games that expanded SM's philosophy.

@ CountBleck12

Constantly running out of ammo and other resources is not horror either.

The genre should abandon this entire idea of micromanaging resources all together. Its too logical. The genre needs something less survivy and more scary.

I read the title and laughed. Are you fucking delusional? This looks terrible. PC gamers were accept any game as high quality so long as it is exclusive to their platform of choice.

@ Zaraxius

not PC Gamers, gamers in general do this.
