Outlast

[Alardem]

Highly debatable. First of all, you assume that modern scary music is only "overly-orchestrated, raucous swells and booms". Dead Space has a fantastic score and while Outlast's is not amazing I think it is pretty decent and I strongly disagree that the game doesn't do anything scary with its audio. I think it is quite well designed. You can have the voice acting, even the chase music if you wish, but you can't be serious in saying there is nothing scary at all audio-wise in Outlast.

Yeah, it's a matter of opinion. I think we disagreed about this before. :p But I honestly hate the music of Dead Space as it doesn't evoke a sense of vulnerability, and Outlast's is too reminiscent of that to work.

I don't actually hate the game itself, as I don't have any stake in doing so. I just don't feel like it was worth purchasing that along with AMFP, based off the videos released of it.
