    I'd like to see a game about the mind-altering entity that compels side characters in horror games to write down their internal monologue at really inopportune times. Or... maybe it's just super normal to beg for help in your diary while being eaten alive, I don't know.

    • @starrymomo
      @starrymomo Год назад +96

      Actually, I'd say it's rather common. A great part of history we know from journals/diaries and letters, because when people has no one to speak to, they speak to themselves. And sometimes the best way to speak to oneself is by writting down things, because that way you won't forget. Anne Frank's diary is one of the most well known diaries, but there's also Robert Falcon Scott's, Viriginia Woolf's, Leonardo Da Vinci's notebooks... to a big degree, writting things down during duress is part of human nature.

      @Tacklepig 11 месяцев назад +2

      @@starrymomo yeah, but Lovecraft was an early adapter of it in horror media. A lot of his writing is the time's equivalent of found footage, there's often a framing narrative and then the narrator goes "I found this notebook" or "I talked to this crazy guy" and relays the story told therein
      That's why I also maintain this is how Lovecraft should be adapted in modern times, as found footage. Plus points because you could portray the "indescribable" horrors as actually glitching out the camera or something

    Oh man, manlybadasshero talking about Waxworks at the end there. It was a game by HorrorSoft and was part of a trilogy of first person adventure game RPGs with a focus on gruesome and gory death screens. The other 2 games were licensed Elvira games and Waxworks was about you being part of a family that has cursed twins. You had to travel through time and space via a magical wax sculpture museum to inhabit the bodies of the good twin so you could defeat the bad twin, through a scifi mine with lots of killer plants controlled by a mutant evil twin, a pyramid where the evil twin is an Egyptian priest or something like that, a haunted graveyard where the evil twin is a necromancer, and dodging cops and mobs in the streets of London where your evil twin is Jack the Ripper. Neat games, nice to be reminded of them.

    Very cool giallo plot. I really enjoyed the extreme creepy people and faces. Great art, cool story line, and pretty satisfying endings.
    I think it was a perfect length for a short story but I could see this being nicely expanded to a longer story with the other tenants, different detectives investigating related cases. Good job!

It's cool though how something that looks so different can capture the same general tone and concept.

    @aquablast3155 Год назад +6

    Short and nice. I do like the fact that we get to talk to the tenants.
    And now, overthinking time!
    I guess the tenants were kept as food...? In a slowly drained sense. Although if they can open the door, why not step outside? ... I suppose it's due to the mind control thing, where they suddenly backpedal and say it's good there. I guess Helen was kill because she resisted, and tried to break the apartment wall? (Or maybe door. Wasn't too clear to me.)
    Although... why was the death reported then? I guess the obvious answer is "more food", but if the manager isn't immune to guns... it just seemed like a bad idea to call someone with a gun here then. But maybe the detective was expected to be trapped in the apartment room? Or maybe the manager wasn't quite sane anyway, so "any human = food" and he wasn't doing any threat/risk assessment anymore.
