This game has an incredible atmosphere... its all really creepy and fucking awesome.

[Ruru97435]

Pewdie should definitely pick this game :D Thumbs up if you agree !

[wysiwyg2006]

i just saw this on GoG and wondered what it was. now i have seen it it looks shite! and i loved the zork and myst games

[jin54363]

this game is hard as hell

[Pacacoca]

If you prefer walthroughts without commentaries, go and search "Playthroughts" not "Let's Play"...

Basically, these have commentaries most of time (which I find really entertaining). Play the game if you want to get the plot.

[EdikShepherd]

Too bad the resolution was only JUST low enough that I couldn't make out the writing in that diary very well. But I'm not complaining, this looks like It'll be a very good LP

[MooseHeadMoosic]

I just installed this game on W7, everytime I run it I get BSOD.

Do you know why?

[Sandi315Remade]

@MooseHeadMoosic is your game good enough to run it? and do you have a REAL copy not some pirated one?

[MooseHeadMoosic]

@Sandi315Remade

Yeah my PC is powerful enough.

And fuck buying games.

[Sandi315Remade]

@MooseHeadMoosic well thats your problem, most of those downloads are viruses

[JankProducties]

Is this a penumbra costum story?

[Sandi315Remade]

@JankProducties nope its its own game

[JankProducties]

@Sandi315Remade Where canyou get it!?

[MusicHeart90]

i like the music...<3

[MajorShepard]

What was worng with the guys accent on the phone? "Routing"? The text said Rooting....is it an american pretending to be english?....or an actor trying to put an accent on...and failing. :P

[homestar118]

Intriguing. I've never heard of Scratches before... The gameplay and abundance of books reminds me a lot of MYST as well as its predecessor, EXILE, while the atmosphere makes me think of Amnesia; The Dark Descent.

Putting this game at the top of my "Must Play" list.

[firrefisk2]

3:37 HUNK IT!

[Awshbuscus]

How the hell did I get from Fnugg awesomeness to this?!

[nissanis1]

this game makes my computer crash when i start it up, my computer is very powerful and i tried so far changing the refresh rate from 0 to 60 but clicking on it after that doesnt do anything, i try replacing the exe with a crack and that does nothing either. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!

[Emgee78]

Ahhh, I still have this, though I took it off my computer a while back. I really love the various paintings on the walls of the house, and I especially love the music.

[RelativelyBest]

You know, the reading parts wouldn't be so bad if the writing was larger and easier to make out. Or if there was a voice-over narration. (In the actual game, I mean, not from you.)

Even when watching this on full screen I have real trouble reading those diaries.

[pissedandkissed]

Directors cut is shorter and scarier

[LetITbe199]

damm it man..Great...thanks.Now i know how to unlock this shit door

[Wuhana]

it pretty reminds me of amnesia - the dark descent...

[Exploding1Sheepz]

Is the plot line different at all in the Directors cut? 

[Kethur]

Wait. When was the sky in this game red?

I own a copy of this game and the sky is gray. Is this a different version or something?

[raptor236]

@Kethur It's the Director's Cut version there are a few things in the DC thats different from the original.

[NyusGirl]

I'm gonna freak out tonight after I watch all the videos... I watch games like these on YouTube... But I can NEVER play the. [/wimp wimp] thank you for the vid though... [/hugs Teddy bear, hiding under her blanky]

[newwave89]

Also glad there is no commentary--it would wreck the ambiance created by the game. (Although I did chuckle when you honked the horn, hehe.)

[Nemesis0300]

This is a great game. I read somewhere games like these that scare you, help you in life when against obsticales and life threatening situtaions.

[madhattress123]

that beat up old car sure looks like it can get you out of a horror movie

[godlessCommie7]

At 1:30 the last picture hanging up is a... creepy toilet bowl?

[Grimmjizzle]

I THINK it's actually a fountain or a bird-bath. Don't quote me though~

[P0V3RTY09]

@godlessCommie7 a bird bath / fountain.

[Bbakhty]

@godlessCommie7 Fountain, but still creepy.

[innocentnevalast]

@godlessCommie7 Looks like a large fountain.

[CS2DFANZER]

@godlessCommie7 its a fountain.

[Somakulary]

@godlessCommie7 I would say it's a fountain...

[LovelyRoxxy]

i should have bought this game when i saw it at a bookstore for only $3.98 four days ago. i wonder if it's still there o_O

[iammadness]

I prefer walkthroughs without commentaries. I find them distracting from the plot of the game.

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

That's why you should always play a game through before watching an LP. At least, im my opinon.

[iammadness]

Yeah, but I'm stuck on this game because for some reason I can't seem to find an object I need where it is supposed to be. Also I couldn't find any other walkthroughs other than this.

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

You can try Gamefaqs. They're good.

[iammadness]

Thanks. I'll have a look.

[MorrighanAnFiach]

Universal Hint System is your best resource. You choose how much of a hint you need!

[PTPfilms]

@iammadness Yeah especially horror titles

[Thechicobana]

@iammadness playthroughs are not the same as walkthroughs...

[Thechicobana]

@iammadness nevermind, posted before seeing the date of your comment and watchting the video

[TheLouchen]

The title music is really great! Anyone know the name?

[Ottison]

Wohoo, i'm not brave enought to play that game so i'll just watch it! Hehe.

By the way, great quality!

[TheDungeonMaster38]

This is one game I would like to Let's Play. Perhaps in the future, I will.

[willwthacker]

I so badly want to play this game.......oh well..guess I'll at least get to see someone else play it

[eedobaba7726]

Man, a commentary would have been funny to watch for Scratches. I remember freakin out scared over this game. The music is just so... haunting.

[mayhemtv]

Yeaaah! Man! A Walkthrough to Scratches!!! Finally! THX so much!

[sqwertycooldude007]

hey where did u get that paper??? i really need to know...dying here

[Tylerfrew]

ok this is a really lovley game beigining, like i have the normal scratches but im stuck on DAY 1!!! IM GONNA WATCH UR VIDEOS see if they help :)!!! but im really confused how come in the last visit the dudes voice sounds ALOT different, still havent watched the video btw, cuz the normal scratches narator has a MUCH soothing and nicer voice!!!

[CerebralStasis]

Perhaps add your commentary over the top and re-upload it? It's not really a let's play without commentary, it's more a play-through. While that's good for some games, when there's a lot of reading going on and not much else, it's best to have it feel like you're playing it WITH someone.

[Prospekt8]

i know what'cha mean. Thing is, I tried to record voice before this, but my mic didn't/doesn't wanna work. I'm still tryin' to work it out!

[TheBiggFizz]

@CerebralStasis plus that im scared i need to hear a voice :(

[blackhawk863]

Scratches????

[Prospekt8]

You'll find out soon enough.

[Nemesis0300]

This game rather reminds me of my favorite author, H.P. Lovecraft.

[prrrrecious]

@Nemesis0300 it does, doesn't it? Lovecraft is awesome. :D

[Nemesis0300]

@prrrrecious True that. Cthulhu Fhtagn!
