Routine - Survival Horror

[the dark side]

sounds a good idea to me, a game that is actually, you know, Challenging. too many games now hold the players hand from start to finish making the whole game feel like, you know, a massive great big tutorial level... and thus, Boring..

that is, so long as "no health packs" means, "no healing at all", and not the usual mainstream industry standard "hide behind a wall and wait for the strawberry jam on the screen to go away" regeneration rubbish! that would sadly make the game yet another hand holder if it does mean Regen.

i hope this game gets the green light from steam, be nice to play a propely hard game again.

plus its horror, horror is meant to be scary, and when you are running around killing monsters, inbetween hiding behind walls to make the jam go away (too many modern games to mention),you are not scared, when you know even one encounter with the enemy is probably going to end the game prematurely, you are going to be properly scared of an encounter, wich means the games atmospheric noises and effects are serioulsy going to get under your skin and freak you out futher..

a modern day take on some of the classic "perma death" 2d Japanese Horrors? sounds awesome to me! Survival Horror with the emphasis on survival!, not the usual modern day "gears of war with zombies in it" (cough...the past 3 resident evils...cough), sounds like just the shot in the arm the genre needs, before it too just becomes another casuality of "casualitus"
