This game is amazing! One of the few games that actually manage to scare me. When I say scare me I mean scare me, not chock me by poofing up out of nowhere with a loud scream/boom/noice. The whole atmosphere in this game is freaky and disturbing and will gnaw on you as you play.
@Skybaby79 No, they were pretty mediocre even then (it's only 4 years ago!) Gears of War was out in 2006, Half Life 2 and Doom 3 already 2 years old by then.
It was released for the PC & Xbox. If you can find it, get it. It's a fantastic game (even tough it's a bit buggy). The first half of the game makes System shock 2 (and to a far far greater degree Silent hill) feel... well... not scary. The 2nd half of Call of cthulhu was a bit of a disapointment, but it was by no means bad.
this game is one the best games and most difficult too in the history. the boat part and the airfilled tunnel is the most difficult parts in the game.
wow this game i bought at a pawn shop for 2 bucks BRAND-NEW, i guess noone here dosent noe of Hp lovecraft but DAMM this game was the best 2 bucks i have ever spent, our meeting was not coincedence
For your sake, don't get it if you suffer motion sickness. The game relies on it for sanity challenging situations and it gives some people headaches and nausea. Personally I loved the game and the SAN check effects.
DUDE, i won this game today it s insanely awesome!!! i reccomen it if you people know any similar games please reply this commen and let me know. See Ya!
It seems so weird.A monster a kept in the basement happens to just i dunno slice you up and bite you but you don't die but you go down and the girl is dead but your not
PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS. yOU WILL GET KISSED ONTHE NEAREST POSSIBLE fRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOU LIFE. hOWEVERIF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS, YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SCARY. sEND THIS TO OVER FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CURUSHES NAMEWILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
the chase part in this game where you have to lock the doors an that made me shit myself (not literally) some of the most adrenaline filled moments ive had in any game
it's because of a bug, u should read in official game's forum, there they tell how to make it work: it's a bug with Windows date format (the game creates a folder with the savegames, 4 example.: "Refinery 28-12-2007 1.35.22". So if ur Windows has kinda 28-12-2007 1:35PM format, it doesn't work.
So u have to go to Control Panel, Regional & Language Settings (or however it's called xD), -> Regional Options -> Personalize -> Time ("hour" or however it's called) & switch time to "H:mm:ss" format. Save evrth, restart, play, save & then try to load. It should work! If u need more help, u can contact me! Good luck!
This is one of the best games I ever played. It really creeps you out when you play it alone in the dark with the volume loud. I think I'm gonna play again.
This game is frightening from start to finish. It's the whole game, everything about it, weaving a spell around the player so that you are always on edge, always uncertain about what's coming next. It is true to Lovecraft's dark vision. How many books/games/films can you say that about? Mind you, the scariest thing is the main character's voice acting. How any game developer could pay someone to sound so flat and lifeless...it must be the mind-warping power of the Mi-Go.
Be warned - it's no exaggeration to say that this game is scarier than Silent Hill, Forbidden Siren, Fatal Frame and Ju-On all added together and multiplied by a billion.
Thats the one of the "mother" monsters from the game, I say mother because that's what the little boy in the game calls it, this game is really good in the suspense area.
I've read Call of Cthulhu. Nothing in that short novel is related to what I've seen in this video. But you guys should read Call of Cthulhu anyway, because it was a great short novel. It's available online, if you google it.
This game is more based off of Shadow over Innsmouth. But the other thing is this is just a brief video.. if you play the full game you will see how it amazingly conveys the themes and content of Lovecraft.
This game is based on a deeper psychological level than Doom 3. It has more of a storyline, uses ambient noises, more adult themed situations and so on. Doom 3 trys to scare you by using very little light and a shitload of monster popups.
This game would rank hundreds of times scarier than Doom 3. The textures are decent and the health pack system can be frustrating at times, but the atmosphere, the soundscapes, and the sheer psychotic nature of the game make it a much better experience overall, than Doom 3 (even though Doom had better graphics). It will haunt you.
It burrows elements from The Shadow Over Innsmouth. The story line from the novel is...the townsfolk are having sex with devil-fish and as the children of the devil-fish mating grow up they slowly become more fish-like.

Got this from GameFAQs for those with problems in the safe's combination:
The combination to the safe is in the Diary of Thomas Waite. He says he uses
the month, day and year of Ramona's birth as the four-digit combination. He
says yesterday was her 10th birthday, and the entry is dated today. That
makes her birthday 2/6/12. Turn the dial right to 2,
left to 6, right to 1 and left to 2. If done correctly, Jack will open the
safe.
