Oh no, an angry muscular guy with no lips, that's so fucked up :scared: Bonus points if they look like they're in the middle of undergoing some kind of extensive oral surgery or have knives for hands or whatever

I think Outlast was mostly decent for a post-Amnesia horror game hiding simulator but it's a poster boy for everything I find tiresome about the plots and design of by the numbers horror games.

Oh no, unethical medical experiments that turn humans into cenobites. I'm mildly interested in Tormented Souls because it's a throwback fixed camera angle survival horror game but by god does everything about it, including the name, look as generic as you can get

    Guessing you just played Callisto protocol?

    I haven't finished the game, only got 2 hours in so far, but the monster designs so far look like they're inspired by outlast 1. The 'creatures' just look like bloated people; and as far as I can currently tell, the villain seems to be a mad scientist. I was expecting more and have been majorly disappointed.

    Also so far the atmosphere has been...unimpressive. I tried playing the game with the lights off to get maximum fear but....nothing. I'm hoping for more beyond the first two hours, but the game itself is apparently between 8-12 hours long anyway. The first dead space was more captivating in its first 20 minutes than Callisto protocol has been in the first 2 hours.

      I haven't played it but was disappointed by the monster designs I saw. Dead Space's undead creatures came in all kinds of sizes and had all manner of weird fucked up shapes
