I CANT PLAY HORROR GAMES PC

He liked PT (or rather he has liked the videos he's seen of it being played because he's not cheating on his PC with a console like I am). What it actually meant was 'Pip will get paler and more rigid and eventually will be on the verge of tears and it will feel horribly cruel and then Pip will spend the next week or two terrified of going to the bathroom in the night.' We switched off the console about halfway through the experience and I had a medicinal Dip Dab.Īdam did not have this response. That was about as close to the game as I could get.īoth friends had done that thing of assuming 'I'm really not great with horror' just meant 'We can have a good giggle at Pip during jump scares'. I was sitting next to one of my friends – the player – on the sofa and offering advice.

I played PT in broad daylight with two friends. I appreciate it's not a PC title but the Silent Hills teaser demo thingy illustrates the point I'm making in terms of basic inability to horror game. I should clarify further that I *think* I'm talking about those kinds of games but often there's no way to be sure without getting further into them than I'm currently able to do without ruining any remaining ability to sleep. I should clarify that when I say I can't play horror I'm talking about horror games like the Silent Hill series or things like Slender: The Eight Pages. That's why I've decided to talk the matter over with Adam, one of the RPS resident horror fans and the chap whose own most recent supporter post dealt with Five Nights At Freddy's a nasty, brutish horror game but one not without merit or skill. Something I can't do – have never been able to do – in terms of what I do for a living is enjoy horror games.
