Game: 1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg
Link: [ Ссылка ]
For some reason, I felt REALLY compelled to make this video.
This game has been a favourite of mine for years, still outperforming any other short horror game in terms of originality, atmosphere, sound design, how the character “feels” to control, and the level of dread that washes over you as you wander deeper into literal hell on earth.
This kind of stuff is just what the indie horror genre needs, I say. One that relies on more than just cheap jumpscares, cliché set-ups and minor-at-best attention to detail, and one that really gets into your mind and immerses you in what it has to offer.
Story-based horror titles like Cry of Fear, Dead Space and SCP:CB are all well and good in my books (and forever will be!), but a horror game you can finish in 10 minutes can be like watching a well-made short film instead of something at the cinemas; it tells a similar story in a different way, and sometimes it can REALLY work.
Anyway, I know many will be expecting something SCP related soon, as that is what I am still known for, so fear not: The next video will be Part 21, you patient lil nuggets!
I’m unsure if it’ll be any good, as it’ll just be me looking at new things and gawking at them, but I’ll try to spice it up anyway.
You’ll see…
