A few of our best spooky adventures
Hello!
Anyway, I should add up front my playthrough of Tomb Raider 2 was very memorable.
The house was huge and pretty much empty most of the time.
I had a bed and a desk and an old Pentium and I had Tomb Raider 2.
There’s a shark outside, and that in turn makes you feel weirdly safe inside.
I had no idea that I was not alone in the level - the shark sort of tricked me.
I think I was reading House of Leaves at the time, which probably didn’t help.
A turn-it-off-and-never-play-again pop in of scary.
Your goal in Lone Survivor is to search for supplies and return to your apartment and drop them off.
Maybe Ill actually make it to one of the endings this time.
But I absolutely loved The Mortuary Assistant.
But The Mortuary Assistant doesn’t handle it that way.
I think it’s because I’m not in a shielded state of flight-or-fight readiness the entire time.
It’s a classy game.
For example, this years scariest game, Madison, did nothing for me.
Me on the other hand, Im pretty sure my heart nearly popped).
A shadow in a flat game turns into an inky void where faceless horrors live in VR.
Being stalked by Mr X from theResident Evil 2remake?
Searching for evil Egyptian Gods in Forwarned?
Poking around in the Baker Family mansion from behind the comfort of a TV screen?
I dont know, maybe VR horror games have ruined flat horror games for me now.
I suspect they probably have, but I wouldnt have it any other way now Ive experienced it.
Perhaps bring a spare pair of pants with you for your first time though.
And it’s really not that scary at all, to be honest.
That’s besides the point, though.
