Agony - non Unity horror FPS

[Beowulf]

I couldn't find a thread regarding this, so here it is.
Along with Scorn it looks like it could offer something to break the mould of jump-scare riddled you-tubers bait, that lately beame the horror genre.

Nice visuals.


Earlier gameplay (most likely scripted like Norman's Sky):

 

[agentorange]

looks like one of those graphics card benchmarks

 

[Beastro]

Makes me wish someone would make a Diablo-esque RPG in the spirit of Ultima Underworld.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Looks worse than Resident Evil Chromatic Aberration VII.

 

[Riskbreaker]

Environments/art direction are slightly reminiscent of Shadow Tower Abyss. Other than that, I really don't know what to think. They shirk from showing proper gameplay - that video shows linear, scripted section (begging of the game, I take it?) that tells next to nothing about how the game actually plays.

"Doom/Dead Space hybrid"

And sequel will be "Dark Souls of Doom/Dead Space hybrids"?

As other have said, that video shown nothing outside of purdy graphics, that could as well be a "gameplay" video for another walking simulator...

I'm digging the world design. Looks like something from a death metal album.
I like how when you leave the corridor of teeth and flesh the area changes. That's pretty neat.

I don't understand why they are calling a doom / dead space hybrid. Looks like another breed of Amnesia to me.

I was thinking Amnesia or Penumbra: Black Plague myself.

It would be cool if the developers include in-game insanity that debuffs your ability to progress, like in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

 

[Excidium II]

Hope there's more naked demons.

 

[Space Insect]

I was surprised to see Baphomet thrown out there. It's too bad we can't really judge anything yet.

 

[a mod]

Looks pretty good, and yeah moar tittays.

Which it most likely be. But what ecent "horror" game wasn't a walking simulator in better or worse disguise?

Spoiler

Alien Isolation

 

[sexbad?]

Hard to watch because of the jerky slow camera movements and extreme motion blur.

 

[Carceri]

Looks like somebody had a really bad trip. Pretty cool visuals though.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Man this game looks utterly retarded.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I'm digging the style and the visuals (and the graphics. Fuck you Unity), but i don't get what this game is. Hell walking simulator? Alien Isolation, Hellraiser edition?

 

[tormund]

That gameplay trailer is p light on... gameplay.

Unless that is some sort of heavily scripted intro section, this indeed looks like something between walking sim and another in the endless line of Slender clones (together with collecting pages statuettes).

 

[PrettyDeadman]

Gore&nakedness are nice, but it doesn't feel like they leave much place for variety (whole game is going to be dark caves with torches and mutilated naked bodies). And without variety that kind of extreme enviroment gets old really fast (I grew tired of it during 16 minutes of gameplay trailer). Also, I am 100% sure that the gameplay is going to be shit. Some of the elemets look like they belong in a shitty openworld ubisoft game (collectibles, primitive stealth against retarded ai, interaction promts).
Scron looks much better in that regard (if you want hellish bodyhorror).

 

[Lagole Gon]

Mark my words. Banal shit boring (as hell).

 

[oneself]

Fantastic knockers on those demons.

 

[Space Insect]

The hellish art style seems less interesting and original with every new thing I see from this game. What was with those purple sparkles too? If you need to add diversity to your hell, don't add sparkles.

The gameplay also looked dreadful.

 

[anvi]

Hate games like that. A video game equivalent of a theme park haunted house ride.

 

[Forest Dweller]

This is the most disturbing video game I have ever seen.

 

[Alienman]

I get the impression that they just crammed as much "hell-things" they could dig up and threw it in there. Still it looks kinda cool I guess, but gameplay seems to be like Outlast. Kinda meh at that.

There is a similar game in development that I think look more horrorish and grotesque. Can't remember it's name, but in the trailer the character you play pick up some kind of flesh-gun. And there is a lot of cthulu-esque nightmare stuff going on.

 

[Space Insect]

I really wish that if they were going to make games based on hell, they would just copy artists like Bosch and Bruegel. Their hellscapes are incredibly surreal and disturbing and imo far better than the straight bone and flesh style that I've seem from this game.
