Co-op horror

[eliasfrost]

Co-op is ALWAYS bad, because in a horror game you have to feel ALONE and MORE ALONE. Also co-op only would ruin the intense of dark emotions by making a fun-challenge of it. That also would ruin plausibility of puzzles and atmosphere get lost.

Co-op may could be some fun, but fun is not that part of a true horror game. It is just kitschy when you are running together with a friend through the environment and play like a GAME. But we should forget thinking it is a game, and Amnesia never wanted to represent itself as a computer game.

Even singleplayer Horror games can be made funny, it's all about immersion and roleplay, I've roleplayed a boardgame (mansion of madness) in coop and the story turned out pretty morbid and creepy. The game itself can't scare you, you make the game scare you, if that makes sense.

And you are certainly the only one to dictate what a true horror game is, go to sleep.
