Forget Amnesia.SCP Containment Breach will scare you

I'm also surprised so many people knew about this and I never seen or heard about it before. I am a total fan of horror games and possibly my favourite genre and I am trying to play as many horror games as I can, can't believe this slipped passed considering it's so old.

Also the thread title is more to grab attention more than anything :P Amnesia is still king for me. But this game has HUGE potential if it was doen with more money and man power. The visuals look a bit crummy to be really terrifying but imagine a good engine and good audio in this game and it would terrify people.

Horror games NEED good lighting engines. It's such a shame that they all use poor engines with prebaked lighting. Someone needs to make a horror game next gen with UE4 or CE3/4

this site is pretty cool. I put it on my favorites and will give it more of a read. I love horror stuff like this. Kinda reminds me of the whole slender man website stuff.

While we are on topic of horror games, does anyone remember the name of a certain horror game where you play as a baby? Someone posted it a couple of months ago.

svenus97

yea wished I rememberd the name as well.

Yeah it's kind of like "Is this real? nah couldn't be, wait... is it?" Creepy stuff

[QUOTE="svenus97"][QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"] Do you mean Lucius?finalfantasy94

yea wished I rememberd the name as well.

Did a quick google search. Is it "Among the sleep"? I never heard or seen anything on it before so I have no idea but the video is awesome, the game has huge potential too. Says you play as a 2 year old and is an FPS

[QUOTE="svenus97"] No, you literally play as a baby, a toddler. I didn't see the full video, but the beginning was the baby crawling under a table and then going into the kitchen. It looked very good.seanmcloughlin

I didn't find it really all that scary, and I am a total puss when it comes to horror movies and such. Same with Amnesia... just got the humble bundle and beat Amnesia last week, and it wasn't scary to me either. I liked it, and this game looks neat too, but just not scary.

The ability to be scared by it is down to the imagination really and your ability to sustain disbelief. I find these very easy to do and I can allow myself to get pretty freaked out so that's why I love all this stuff.

Also did you play amnesia properly at night with no lights and headphones? Most people I've heard that didn't find it scary did it wrong so I am curious

Thank you too. I had never heard of it before and now I am extremely interested in it. I will keep an eye on it too

In the dark at like 2-3am with headphones is how I played it and I wish everyone had that experience I did. It's crazy how it makes you feel, because you can't hear anything else in your room just the sound in the game world so you feel like anyone could sneak into your room and just be standing behind you. I went into the game ready to totally immerse myself because I knew if I didn't then I wouldn't enjoy it half as much as I should.

Also Absinth will fvck you up lol :P

But it still needs sufficient tech to make it a good game. It's in Alpha stage now, so it's excusable.

Remember, it's not about Gameplay>Graphics. It's that graphics serve gameplay and the whole experience. Amnesia wouldn't have been nearly as scary if the tech wasn't sufficient enough to render the interiors as close as possible to the artists and designers concept.

I don't think the visuals played as big a part as the audio did. What made that game scary was terrifying music and that growl you heard before a guy came running at you. I think if it had the same audio but worse visuals it still would have been bang on. As long as the control and feel of the character are right then I don't seen why the visuals matter so much. Amnesia was pretty crappy visually as it is

Amnesia was hardly crappy. Yes it was a bit behind the curve, but the tech was sufficient enough for a good rendering of the castle. This SCP was pretty scary at times, but it would definitely benefit from better tech. I like the weighty feel of the character though, and the blink mechanics is awesome

Horror games in general badly need a good lighting engine, a dynamic one at that.

mitu123

The game has dynamic maps and enemies I think, so the the amount of scaryness varies a bit.

It's in alpha, but it's pretty tense already.

to be honest how the monster looks in design is pretty freaking creepy. I mean if right now I turned around and saw it I would pee myself.

I would argue that audio is WAY more important than visuals when it comes to horror.

You know what makes Silent Hill 2 such an amazing and scary experience? IMO it is all those little touches the game has, alot of them being visual. The whole thing with the radio making static as enemies got close was such genius. It brings the tension to a whole new level. Then there's stuff like the infamous bathroom scare (probably the most I ever jumped in a game) which again is accomplished completely via sound.

Also in the prison there is the hall where there is a monster who mumbles incoherently to itself. You never actually see this monster and that just leaves you so damned unnerved.

Oh and of course there is the soundtrack which while having beautiful tracks like this, also brings on the horror with songs that sound like they would be most comfortable being played in hell.....

Of course visuals matter too. You need both elements to create the scary game (and visual touches like randomly barred off hallways really **** with you on a mental level I feel) but I would always argue that sound is by far more important, whether it be the terrifying sounds of the creatures or the terrifying LACK of sound leading up to the jump moment.

So yeah, I AM argeeing with you but I just felt the need to put my two cents in. :P

Yes Silent Hill's sountrack and ambient effects are unmatched in nearly any medium. Akira's sounds are just so full of texture that even just listening to them in my room creates a vivid atmosphere and un-nerving atmosphere. And some of the best moments in SH was when it was dead quiet, save for the thuds of your characters heavy footsteps.

The quiet is definitely a killer. The silence in that bathroom just makes that gunshot going off so much more surprising and terrifying. God that scene scared the **** out of me when I discovered it....

It's much better when you're playing it. Especially in the dark with headphones, it can be quite unsettling.

Also that monster would be freaky in real life, if you had to stare at him all the time knowing that if you blink even once he will be right on top of you

The monster looks like sackboy is therefore not scary :/

I mean,if I encounter it in real life,I am sure I will be able to kick its a** easily.

seanmcloughlin

I really like this idea, and it certainly seems to have some promise. It's worth pointing out that for me the video had an extra creepiness factor because I was familiar with that particular SCP, and if I hadn't known about it I'd kinda have to agree that it looks pretty funny.

Well, its not like the gameplay is any better. Its just a corridor "walker" and instead of shootting you have to blink from time to time. It hardly sound like fun to me but thats me...

Those two things aren't even remotely similar. You're downplaying things because you don't like them but it's a very good mechanic and it's a new fresh idea for a horror game. Better than going up against Zombies with guns. Technically all horror games are "corridor walkers" and In Amnesia you don't shoot either or even fight back or blink or any mechanic like that, just solve puzzles and run and it's the best horror game in years.
