Justine big mistake

[LHudson]

Been a while since I've been on here, but hey, why not start here.

Having the ability to save anywhere in The Dark Descent was really a drawback to me. The fear is less imposing if you have the ability to pause, leave, and come back to the exact same point as before, which is odd considering the death mechanic can completely break the horror when you realise that respawning also gets rid of the enemy.

I alway found the Justine DLC to be the better part of The Dark Descent due to that function. With the save function gone, death becomes more scary due to the fact that you will have to take on the experience again. I also liked the music more though Mikko Tarmia is to thank for that (seriously, the suitor chase music is gripping yet uncanny).

When it comes to horror, you need to handle your save system well, otherwise it's an exploit.
