Another gem from the Haunted PS1 Game Jam! It seems this jam just keeps on giving! Great atmosphere and story, the deafening silence creates one of the most tension filled and horrifying atmospheres I have ever encountered in vidio games! The leadup in the woods with the crackling trees and bushes, as well as the faint and distant roar of beasts, slowly setting the scary mood, combined with the absolute contrast of the silent mines, makes this game's audio an absolute masterpiece! Never before have I played a game with such great use of audio! And there is the story which is without a doubt above the avarge story telling, not just the story itself, but the way it is told and the way it is descovered by the player! I am counting on a continueation of this game, please do not let med down :D
The only thing I could add is that, when encountering the beasts, the fear is not explosive enough. Let them make some noise! Increase thier speed a little, but give us more room to see it comming, maybe add a little shaking of the camera or rumbeling as we hear it's massive feet clash with the ground! Other than that this was a perfect experience! Good job.
