Reality vs Adventure Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Buckle your mental belt. This is a trippy game. It's a library top shelf; mirror back; lighting; top display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Rose Red has met video games. This one can fuck with the mind big time. And that's why I love it. Reality vs Adventure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Have you played Inheritance? The child goes back to the house. I just started playing it tonight. It is freakin awesome so far! Got that excitement back! What is Rose Red? I see a movie, but not a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm not into horror games as such and I heard mixed things about it, but if you're recommending it I may give it a go. I think the reception I might've seen may have been people expecting another Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and not being wowed after Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within. Here's hoping time has done it justice. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the same basic theme as the game. I have loved the movie for years, and now that there's a video game that is so similar, I had to have it.

It's a constant progression of a psychological breakdown. The game really is a treasure. And so far Inheritance has a wow factor too. I got the digital bundle for cheap a couple months ago. Not sure where the price is at now, but getting a disc is expensive from what I've seen. And there is an Oculus virtual reality version of Layers of Fear if you got one. 50 minutes ago, The Blackangel said: Rose Red is just a movie. It has the same basic theme as the game.

Reality vs Adventure Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Gonna play Layers of Fear 2 tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 A truly horrifying experience. Played alone, in the dark with a head set on, this game can bring about some extremely intense heart pounding moments. Layers of Fear doesn't just rely on jump scares, but manages to borough deep into your mind as you find out the tragedy that has befallen our protagonist and how he has reacted to it. As he desperately tries create his 'Magnum Opus', his sanity tearing away from him at every seam, you will find yourself drawn into his dark and twisted mind, wishing that he, and yourself, find a way back to normality.

killamch89 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I remember Layers Of Fear - it wasn't as scary as say an Alien Isolation but some of those hallucinations are insane. I kept wondering if the character was on LSD or some kinda drug I didn't know about because what the hell are these hallucinations.

You said that perfectly! I would have loved to experience that with a headset. Inheritance was also a creepy short game to go with it. Not many games have really reached into my mind the way this one has. Pretty amazing. 11 minutes ago, killamch89 said: I remember Layers Of Fear - it wasn't as scary as say an Alien Isolation but some of those hallucinations are insane.

LOL Just started the second one on a creepy ship. It must take someone MAD to make this stuff. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 If you really want to trip balls, wait for a night when it's storming like crazy. Turn off all the lights, and I mean everything. Then go to your room or somewhere else that will be getting no light except for the occasional lightning strike. Put in your earbuds, as they're typically more noise canceling than headphones, and play the game. No one else around. It may not sound like much to those that have never played a Layers Of Fear game, but those of us that have will know just how terrifying that can be. Especially to those with a fear of the unknown, the dark, or isolation. In all seriousness, after doing this you will literally never be the same again.

I'll definitely have to give this idea a go when playing Layers Of Fear or any other horror games. Normally, I always have the lights off when gaming but I'll try to black out all lights in my gaming room and let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to go back and try that in the dark and buy headphones. I never thought about using headphones before. Layers of Fear 2 I am really enjoying. It's trippy. It's very visually artistic as if each scene is a 3D painting with meaning. I'm very curious to find out what is going on. This series is going down as one of my favorites.

The Blackangel Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) It's one of the best horror games ever made, if not THE best horror game ever made. I'm not a fan of first person, but this kind of game couldn't be played any other way. Edited April 23, 2021 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
