Imagine if this had been a low key release 30 years ago. It would now be heralded as the scariest game you’ve never played on a gaming website, had a news channel report on how it drove a child to steal his dad’s shotgun because “the game told him to do it” or had a “curse” that anyone who booted up the game had terrible things happen to them.....
I think it was to start relating that music to danger, death, since we would subconsciously relate the wolf picture plus the music with critical danger.
Believe it or not, 8-bit horror games scares me more than the modern horror games. ________________________________________ Edit : after watching( resident Evil village ) trailer, i am still standing by my comment.
In 8-bit was some kind of atmospheric pressure. The Music, Graphics, Game engine. All of this need to make player feel the pressure from game. In modern games has no pressure, only screamers.
“Mara” is the title of a track in The Haxan Cloak’s album “Excavation”, and it’s apparently themed around a person’s journey through death. Mara also is a word in Sanskrit for death, and a term for a nightmare demon. And also the name a biblical woman took after her husband and son died.
Tfw this game makes me actually want to know more and clue/lore hunt. Makes my mind wander in the same way a Lovecraft story does when rising action starts. Also funny that an incredibly short ms dos looking game produces more horror atmosphere than current bs (imo)
This is great. Terrifing. The sounds, the music, the colours, the mistery, the images, the words. Everything. The most scarry games, comes in 8 bits. No doubt.
There is a mexican old movie from the 60-80?? called "even the wind is afraid" or Hasta el viento tiene miedo. This is cool and reminded me of that movie.
You have to have serious courage to venture into a video game cemetery, even if it's on ancient PC hardware. I'm starting to think that everyone is as undead as a doornail in this game.
If that was released back in the day to an atari it would be one of their best efforts! It would be like an early version of a RE game if you caught my drift! Although i am not sure if an atari could work graphics like those to be honest.Great video i like what they did there!
I just want to say, this channel is amazing. Thank you for sharing all these strange and wonderful indie games. Seeing such an outpouring of peoples creativity, is so uplifting to me and really gets me inspired. Thank you
It's decades old but still deliver an element of fear in the gameplay. Kudos to the developers of the era who came up with a decent scary game using limited software. 😌
Holy crap, this is retro to the max! I like how useful the shotgun is. Since DOOM, no game is complete if it does not have a shotgun. The music and sound effects are so PC-speaker. As a video game developer myself, I must say that this is very cool!
The crunchy ear rapey audio style of old school games goes hand in hand with horror, this game is pretty damn terrifying, this feels like a game that your parents wouldn't let you play when you were 4 years old and I'm all for it
I love the little things in this game. On day 3, you see the preacher outside, but then when you start he’s suddenly in your home. You never invited him in, there was no dialogue or indication. That’s how you know it was a fake.
*"The Preacher comes to visit"*
"Huh. What do you have to say Preacher?"
*DIES*
"Oh."
saw that part right as I read this hah

Remember, guys: When being chased by hungry wolves, run into your house leaving the door open so they can come in.

The wolf picture actually scared me. The music also gives a scarier experience, especially when being attacked
The music its outstanding
Yeah that wolf made the game a lot scarier than just relying on ingame graphics. That really stook out to me.

Same here. Something about the limitations of 8 bit hardware and imitations of it give off an already unnerving feeling.

She needs to consider moving to a less haunted location~
On a funny note, i abso-fucking-lutely agree 😨😨😨
On serious note, that lady was actually just going insane LOL
Game started and already Emma dies. It's Oregon Trail all over again.
The close ups of the enemies made this even scarier.
walks up to preacher
*DIES*
Don't worry Lizzy, I feel the same way on the inside
"Mara, taker of souls." Okay. I'm sleeping with the lights on.
Those lines with that image, also is so spooky. The imagination do a great work during this game
So a penis demon takes souls. Gotcha.
How positively cryptic.
Lol...they really used the low-bit sound effects to their greatest extent. Genuinely scary stuff!
I just realized this is like an early 90’s maybe 80’s version survival horror game, like a prototype to until dawn

Five nights at Freddy's: the scariest game ever.
The Wind: hold my beer.
Where's your beer Lizzy
Perfect game for quote
"Looking back... This isn't even scary.."
One of my favorite horror movies. Watching a gameplay of this is a whole different experience once you know the story.
I really like the "the wind stopped" message.
This is excellent. The harsh music, the hard cuts between days and the cryptic messages give it a really creepy atmosphere.
Well that’s freakin cool. Especially if you’ve ever read about the struggle of life in the midwest before modern technology.
I watched this at midnight last week..... I'll never sleep again..
Damn, Lois Griffin is having it rough out here

This game was much better than the movie. Honestly scarier, probably because of the lack of context.
