These guys worked on NOLF and NOLF2 is one of the best games ever made, so this should be ok. Also it's black and white which is cool =)

"You feel like you can see things you could not before."

"You feel like you can hear things you could not before."

"You feel like you can speak to things you could not before."

That's pretty good horror storytelling. 80% of horror is controlling expectation and digging up corpse pieces to suddenly understand that there's more going on than the natural world is horror goodness.

This game looks like crap on the youtube version of the quicklook. The youtube compression really doesn't like this games' art style.

Disappointed with the killing. Wouldn't mind another exploitation game besides Miasmata. Oh, well. I'm in the video game minority.

The color sliders left a bad taste in my mouth. Reminiscent of focus groups, and for a game that seems more unconcerned with that sort of thing.

At first I was wondering why the soldiers sounded like wolves, but then I heard the goofy ass frying pan noise and stopped questioning the sound effects altogether. Although there is some great sound design in other places like that bell, the shadow world and even the wind sounds good.

"Put some more arrows into that dude..." *Katang!* I had tears in my eyes from laughing.

The style reminds me of M. Night Shyamalan's movie, The Village. Guess it's taking some visual cues from that, with the use of black & white and even the flourishes of red.

@corruptedevil: According to the Steam page it is set at the Fort Henry in Virginia. Which is weird, because I thought Fort Henry was in Tennessee. Guess that Henry dude got around.

I seem to be in the minority in thinking that this game looks boring.

Pretty sure the Fort Henry that was in Tennessee no longer exists, as that area is now a lake.

Looks like Skyrim. And the coin picking up sound sounds like the coin tossing sound in Creed.

@blackpuddytat: The Village isn't exactly the first to do that style (Schindler's List comes to mind with the red lady), and even some video games have been done in this style before. So I'm not sure if it's a direct influence or not.

@theinnkeeper: Can't say I like the harsh monochromatic visuals and I think the color/contrast adjustment options are proof that I'm not alone here. They might have even come about from internal debate. However, as crazy as it might seem, I think giving players more options is always a good thing. Even if it means making some compromises, but remember that this is optional.

A flute!

Seems nifty. I was expecting a more horror focused thing and less with the random RPG mechanics and shooting and killing stuff, but it does manage to stay pretty creepy.

Why would you not explore outside the fort in the 'other world' mode...

Also, I'm sure they just added the colour mode because people complained, but it's clearly not how you're supposed to play the game. I mean you can just crank up the gamma in most horror games to the point where everything is bright as day as well, but that's not how you'll actually want to play.

@shtinky: Narrating text is more for solo playthroughs imo.

Anyways, crazy that they included that "color slider". I'm not a big fan of that.
