~In a creepy castle somewhere

[zarla]

OKAY I think today'll work. In an hour or so (sometime around 5pm my time) I'll see if I can get the Livestream up for Amnesia, if you'd like to watch me play that. I haven't played it at all and have... well, KIND of an idea of what to expect, but I've heard it's freaky stuff so it should be fun. I heard some people can only play like 15 minutes

Glad I was able to catch most of that. Seemed like a strange game to be sure.

[zarla]

It was!

Man, I was too late seeing this to go anyway, but I know I would have been too torn by the urge to get the game and play it myself before watching someone else play, so

[zarla]

Haha well it was interesting. I think it probably would have been more effective if I'd actually been letting myself get immersed instead of making smart comments and focusing on puzzles to the expense of all else, haha. Even in spite of that, there were still some parts that I thought were kind of creepy, so that probably says something. Talking constantly to myself with an audience does make it hard to let the game affect you, although I did jump a few times here and there, haha.

But it was interesting! A bit silly at points but it had a sort of Myst-y adventure game feel, and the puzzles weren't too tough to figure out on the whole. I HAD FUN, ANYWAY

I'd love to play the Fatal Frames with people but it might be tough. :O I DO have the first game on disk but haven't checked it out yet.

I have my little pinnacle thing, but it records videos in a very tiny little window in the corner, which makes it hard to read and see stuff. Which would probably make Fatal Fram a bit tough to play. :O

I had to leave really early! Did it ever get scary? Did anything even happen?

[zarla]

IT DID PICK UP NEAR THE END

loads of torture devices, dang

[chiadro]

Did it use the innovative echolocation-based gameplay mechanic to its full potential?

[zarla]

Hahaha given that I was talking constantly to myself, not terribly. ALTHOUGH the music was actually very helpful at points. It's a shame I couldn't get it to work with the stream itself.
