The summation of the first chapter only fuels our hopes further as it describes not so much a physical threat as much as a psychological threat – our favorite kind. If it can tap into that vulnerability that made so many people squeal in Amnesia, then we might be on to something here. Like Frictional Games’ masterpiece, Shadow Of A Soul will have its players solving puzzles and searching for clues to uncover the game’s mysteries while hiding from various manifestations of ghosts. The goal of Chapter 1 is to dig the foundations for the following two chapters while telling a satisfying story in its own right.” “For me, Shadow of a Soul is all about creating the creepiest, and most shocking gaming experience. He has been working on the game for about a year now and confirms that there will be between 12-16 hours of gameplay, he also adds:

Ferzan Kanat Aygen, the man who runs Vivec Entertainment, certainly knows how to incite a fright in us, as you can see in the trailer. It’s a very harsh thing to have compare a debut game from an unknown developer agaianst what is arguably a survival horror masterpiece, but Shadow Of A Soul is holding up surprisingly well. The game is a first person survival horror which will immediately cause people to measure it against the best indie in the genre – Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Shadow Of A Soul is a planned trilogy which is due to kick off with the release of Chapter 1 just before next Halloween, or October 24th 2012 to be precise. While we are adamant to remain skeptical, it does give us the same creepy first impressions that Amnesia: The Dark Descent’s first trailers did.
In regards with A Machine For Pïgs the only thing I can say it did well it's the story, because it lacks everything it's antecesor did good.Vivec Entertainment has just released the debut trailer for their first person survival horror Shadow Of A Soul. It's the simple of things that make this game an absolute masterpiece. Or do I risk not having enough Oil or tinderboxes to lit the next area and stay safe? So it's a trade:ĭo I explore this area to look for resources while I can hear that thing moving around? It encourages exploration better than minecraft does, all the while you know there's something in the shadows that wants you dead. On the other hand the exploration of the game it's rewarding, not only you find more about the universe in the form of Notes scatered arround, but you're also rewarded in the form of tinderboxes or even oil!. It's a beautiful balance and it's up to the player to decide, it's such a good combination of mechanics that i can't comprehend why it's the only game I played that has it. Or shall I stay in the dark while my sanity slowly decreases? Shall I lit my lantern and risk being seen? The thing is, if you can see, they can see, so it up to the player to decide what to do. So naturally you would want to be in a well lit zone. On one hand you have your sanity: it decreases if you: The removal of the inventory it's its first flaw The oil and lighting system in The Dark Descent it's so simple, yet so effective in bringing terror to the table. It's like it's a completly different saga, just like what happened with Resident Evil 6, it lost it's direction, strayed from the path so much that it's a new saga with some reminescence of what it was in form of props, it completly lost it's identity. The story it's really good, the sound desing it's amazing, but the gameplay, the puzzles and the general execution of the game it's awful.
#Amnesia the dark descent shadow simulator#
It's just a walking simulator with some zombie pigmen sprinkled here and there. Now I revisited this game with more of a backbone for horror games, I played it and it's amazing, there's nothing I can compare it to I haven't played something even remotely as scary as The Dark Descent, so I went ahead and played A Machine For Pigs with high spectations.īut I was only met with more dissapointment than my parents can feel of me, It's like they literally took everything that made The Dark Descent good and deliberately remove it just because. I got as far as the water part and stoped.
I do recall trying to play The Dark Descent when I was younger on my excuse of a computer and literally couldn't, it was too much. I'm a fan of horror games since I was little grewing up with Resident Evil and Silent Hill. After hearing about the new Amnesia game in the making, I remembered that I had long time ago buyed the Amnesia Collection, so naturally I played them.
