Italian Horror Game Uses Your Tells Against You

Buying it now. Is it just me or does the concept sound a LOT like that "Sound of Silence" tech demo we saw a few months ago? But the trailer definitely did buy me, it looks awesome and damn scary.

OOO this sounds like fun. But as usual I'm to chicken to play so it's off to youtube I go!

Minecraft has scared, or startled me more than once. Its made me jump out of my chair when you are wandering around in a dark cramped cave and get ambushed by a skeleton or creeper. Its way more scary than these so called survival horror games like resident evil or dead space. Death is meaningful. You lose all of your items. If you are far away from spawn and don't remember how to get back, you will lose everything if you die. It is very tense. and fun.

I played Dead Space 2 on the second hardest difficulty. Not the hardest because you could only save three times or something.

Anyway, I will agree that the monsters or jump scares weren't scary but the fact that ammo, med kits, and resources were scarce. It made the fights themselves more terrifying because even though you could fight back, you had to do it right or you would get overwhelmed. I guess that's a different type of fear but in my opinion it's fear all the same.

Well another thing is that you go into a game like Deadspace expecting to be scared. In minecraft, you can just be down in a cave mining some iron ore. Suddenly you hear a noise. You look around and don't see anything, so you go back to mining. You turn around again to suddenly find some skeleton has snuck up right behind you out from the darkness to attack you. Its scared the hell out of me way more than I care to admit.

So the evil scientists are openly developing an A.I. that will learn what we fear and use them against us? AND they're naming it a creepy child name?...

I welcome our new A.I. overlords.

Now where did I put those adult dipers from Amnesia.

Had similar experiences. I was wandering through a cave placing torches while my nephew was following behind with a sword. I didn't notice that there was an opening overhead and suddenly in a near pitch black cave a spider lands on me and I suffer damage and it scares me horribly. Same thing happened when we were working our way upwards to get to a higher level and suddenly three creepers fall one by one onto my head and explode and I was freaking out because I didn't see it coming. Somehow I survived all three though.

I got it, but haven't had a lot of time getting into it so far. The controls feel a bit sluggish, especially the inventory, but it looks promising. I only got into the second environment so far though, and I expect the game to ramp up the horror aspect with progress. So far it's managed to make me feel uneasy twice - nothing compared to Amnesia, but there's potential for more.
