Lone Survivor

[Trash]

RPS had a little exposition on this indie horror/survival game and really seem to like it. From what little I've played of it the game makes excellent use of sound, has a very simple yet rather creepy artstyle and goes for the 'lost and befuddled protagonist is stuck in hellish limbo' trope. I must admit the noises and screen distortions together with the alienness of the surroundings creeped me out a little. Anyone here tried it?

Didn't want to read articles, I'm too sold already. Looks brilliant... a retro zombie game about depression, a must play for /gd/ fans.

Is the protagonist walking around constantly with a big grin or am I seeing things unclearly?

He's wearing a surgical mask.

Looks interesting,will probably try it

Looks cool, but I'm not really into survival horror. Also, seems very derivative of Silent Hill, which would make sense, since the creator of this game made a demake of Silent Hill 2. That being said, there a certainly worse sources for inspiration out there than SH.

He's wearing a surgical mask.

I know that's what it's meant to be, but I can't unsee the grin. That's what happens when you opt for pixel art in your game, I guess.

Video needs more gameplay less emo.

But yeah. I like the scanlines (if that's actually in it) colorful pixelated look.

Scanlines are in. Game also loves doing all sorts of wierd graphical effects to keep up with the creepy sound stuff.

Dear Diary, I have ran out of Modest Mouse music and my Ipod charger is now defunct. How will I survive?

Demos aight, lots of thought put into the mood and presentation obv. even if a bit derivative, gameplay's pretty anemic though (course demo's v short so maybe it improves later on?). Would Not Pay Ten Bucks. Would pay five. Might play for free until such time as the deficit improves.

Remake with a new scenario, coming to PC and Switch 2021.

Truly, the "everything is a remaster or a sequel nowadays!" saying is truer than ever.
