The Portraits story has always scared me bad. Whenever I remember it, whether by seeing it online or having it randomly pop up in my mind, my stomach churns. So this game was set up to terrify me. The creepy atmosphere and lighting, unsettling creaks and groans, color choices, and spine chilling "paintings" made it much worse. The portrait in the bathroom scares the shit outta me (pun intended). The paintings that are chiaroscuro (using stark contrasts of light and dark) look like they are monsters in shadow, waiting to strike. And I think the others having blurry details made them scarier than if they were clear and visible - like you are squinting at something unknown in the dark, making out its vague shape. This game is just very well made, every detail terrifies me. Well done!
