      Huge disagree. The game already contextualizes that the gun does SOMETHING, since you can shoot the record player and destroy it, but taking away the gun just tells you "you're not supposed to defend yourself." Horror comes from the unknown, it would have been much more effective if the shots simply did nothing to the entity, and you could move at full speed. The game is a good project and the first little bit was great, but as soon as the ghost entered the server all the tension disappeared.

    Being alone in a dead server is eerie enough it didn’t need the dead wife explanation. A server can be haunted by nostalgia, the memories of people who once played the game, isolation, time passing by and u all alone contemplating what this old game meant to you and how everyone’s over it and moving to the next new thing, loneliness.
    So many things a dead server can represent. But the wife thing was really lame and left no space to wonder about the story.

      Exactly. Honestly if you're going to make a creepy game about old abandoned servers, I'd go with just having people start appearing, but no messages that anyone's logging on. Or the reverse, have names log on, but you don't see any of them. Things just change around the map without you seeing it.

However, I would get rid of this bad VHS vfx with the constant tearing first. This drives me insane and adds nothing except headaches. I'd even have the flag wander around, when shot at it splatters with a scream and "returns" to base. Maybe have some "thing" go for a b-line, just to vanish... add a few subtle glitches here and there, not too invasive, but with increasing intensity as the story progresses. Even have the ESC-button be disabled or keybindings fk'd up. For the story, it could be some code someone found on a old disk cliche. not going into the occult too far - more into the direction of System Shock, some sentient thing. learning, lurking, listening. it watches you play, it repeats your actions.

      What if the map were to change? Like you're moving normally and you reach a dead-end, you turn around and go back to find that the path is different from before. Kinda like a changing maze that switches between a few sets when you get to certain points? Although this would probably be difficult to program without the game pausing to load.

      @@bryanjacobs1423 It was very cheesy and out of the blue. The pacing of the video up til that point was "subtle scary things happen more and more the further he progresses" then the pacing was thrown out the window when the developer says "It can raise the dead." I could understand maybe a ritual or pseudoscience to raise the dead, but software? Also, someone who's been working on it for 11 years, why give online public access if it breaks the resurrection, instead of just keeping it LaN?
      If his program needed public access for some reason, then why not spend an hour programming a command to kick people from the server? That's just my take on it.

      I was actually hoping that there would be a twist that there was no "dev" at all, but the black figure was playing a head game to make the player lose.
