An Exit Screen With No Pause In Horror Games

[FlawlessHappiness]

I would rather see the game not paused. My friends/family use it as an escape when it gets to scary, it would only be more hilarious when they realize nothing will stop the monster from eating their brains out.

As a prank maybe. But I doubt they'll play through the whole game without the pause.

Maybe the game should have a "hard" and "easy" mode, where the hard one disabled pausing, but the easy does not. That way it won't force people to keep playing until they quit the game if they do not want to, and it will make them aware that if they selected hard, they have to face the consequences.

This is good. As long as the player is aware of what they're going for, you're sure to have their attention.
