This game is so nerve wracking. I even can't do a photoshoot for #screenshotsaturday without the monster sneaking up on me.
Luckily the narrator warns you when your being hunted along with dissuading you from digging too deeply into you investigation.

Been learning how to put together in-game trailers.
But when the game uses multiple perspectives and post processes, which do you use?
I didn't know which to use, so I'll just show you them all.

I'm designing the clues for my detective horror game. The core idea here: a dimensional leak years ago caused objects to glitch out of existence.
When you arrive, the leaked echoes are still active. You won't just find clues; you'll witness them.

Been busy making the monsters AI for horror walking sim, but I got a lot done in the last week.
The monster has poor sight and hunts by hearing mainly.
The antagonist narrator will warm you if a monster is close.
But sometimes he does it just to keep you tense.
