4th wall breaking in horror games has always been around, however in A Dark Place, it takes the meta horror to the next level. Is this horror game a 4th wall breaking masterpiece, or does it take the scares too far, and actually become harmful? I dunno, watch and find out I guess lol.

Dear ToadBup, I hope this message reaches you, though I must admit, the weight of my disappointment is almost too heavy to bear. I am writing to address a matter of utmost importance, a matter that has shattered the very fabric of my subscription and left an indelible mark on my soul. It pains me to bring up such a grievous topic, but I can no longer contain the hurt that has been festering within me. The betrayal I am about to address is one of fashion, of style, and of a subscription that now lies in tatters. I distinctly remember the day when you embarked on a journey to unleash your inner fashion gods, to bask in the glory of unparalleled style, and to showcase your unique personalities to the world. You ventured into uncharted territory, seeking the holy grail of accessories, the one item that would solidify our status as trendsetters. And yet, despite the promises made, despite the pact you had sealed with, you chose to forego the pièce de résistance-the Brian Griffin necklace that was meant to elevate your swag to unprecedented heights. My heart aches at the memory of the fateful day when you walked into the room, conspicuously absent of the dazzling Brian Griffin necklace that you had painstakingly scoured the internet to find. The disappointed look I saw in the reflection in the computer screen mirrored the disappointment in my soul. I had thought that my subscription to you was forged in the crucible of shared dreams and sartorial ambitions. Alas, it seems I was mistaken. The void left by the absence of that dripped-out masterpiece around your neck is a chasm that cannot be bridged by mere apologies. I have tried to find it in my heart to forgive, to look past this egregious transgression, but the wound is too deep. The Brian Griffin necklace was not just an accessory; it was a symbol of your unity, a beacon of your shared commitment to aesthetic excellence. Its absence speaks volumes about the fragility of your once-unbreakable trust. Thus, with a heavy heart and a tear-stained message, I must convey that forgiveness is not a currency I am willing to spend on this matter. The betrayal is too great, the disappointment too profound. The Brian Griffin necklace will forever be a reminder of what could have been, and my subscription to you, now tarnished, shall remain etched in the annals of style history as a cautionary tale of unfulfilled potential. May you find solace in the glittering sea of mediocrity, for our paths diverge here, and I must forge ahead, alone, draped in the dripped-out glory that could have been ours. Sincerely, Froxo Does Stuff

One of my favorite scares is when it asks if you can use your camera becuase if you say no, it will get more distored until it asks "are you lying?" If you say no, the game just like "oh alright. Just... enter this code into the debug to move on." Like, it gets really intense and then just goes "oh alright, nevermind then."

This game is odd because its the least scariest game I've ever seen, but the most technically impressive game I've seen.

@username5155 7 ай бұрын

One thing I’ve seen done before but never really in a horror game setting is the concept of having 2 different build of the same game where the key is to transfer saves between them to progress. Like, there’s a “cancelled” game on like GJ or Itch or something where you can download two different builds of the same “demo”, with one being a bit more polished and a bit longer than the other, but where you can bypass the end of the short demo by loading a save drom the long demo that’s past the end of the short demo and then you can have things where the horrific elements of one game correspond to the cutesy/sad/fearful stuff in the other. It’s kinda like a 2 worlds concept combined with a little bit of Petscop combined with this Baba is You levelpack set I saw once (which I know is a very odd place to draw horror inspirations from)

A sort of 2 different programs interacting with eachother thing? The Mr. Tomatos and Ms. Lemons games do that, and the 3rd game in that series likely will as well when it comes out.

Games like these make me think of how the simple PC games in the 90s and early 2000s could give a creepy vibe because of their simplistic animations and bare minimum sound designs that leave a lot to the imagination. And with that, I pose a challenging question: is it possible to make an effective horror game that is *completely* silent?

The fact i'm kinda learning all by myself to code in DarkBASIC since there's no tutorial of it (There is for DarkBASIC Pro but not DarkBASIC) i could make a horror game that is completely silent (It's been actually weeks i stopped using DarkBASIC out of lazyness because i sometimes don't understand why it doesn't work, i gotta learn, etc💀) But a game doesn't only requires coding, it requires knowing how to draw sprites or how to do 3D models, which with DarkBASIC since there is no new version of it, it uses X files, and i can't really find any app to create X files all by myself It uses Midi files too, old files type Midi files are smaller files than MP3, and old videos were in uhhh i forgot but not .mp4 Remember.exe easily uses thoses types of files since it was made with DarkBASIC Btw how i got DarkBASIC, i found the iso & burned it on a CD then opened it just like an installation CD Same for DBP (DarkBasic Pro) but i can't find the options to put the path to the compiler, etc I could find for DarkEDIT it's pretty easy (It's an alternative to DB), but not DBP Honestly, DarkBASIC/BASIC are the easiest programmation languages

I wish I could remember the name - but there was a 4th-wall breaking game that, technically, _was_ malware. It was what's known as a Remote Access Tool. Running the game would give the creator remote access to your system. He had a bunch of events and effects he could trigger for players, and had the ability to interact directly. The creator _seemed_ like they didn't have any nefarious intent beyond offering a scary and highly interactive experience for people who tried his game, but people were still very upset at an unmentioned remote access tool being installed on their system. The creator shut down the server that the game contacted to give him the chance to join and removed the game from the internet. Some things are great as scary ideas, but scare people in entirely the wrong way.

I've played this game three times, each with different friends (blind for them) as I absolutely LOVE this game and its 4th wall breaks. I had the advantage of playing this blind for the first time, and I was immediately obsessed. Yeah, it can get long and boring with the level design, but I like to think of it as a remastered, newer, more intense version of IMSCARED. I absolutely cannot wait for A Dark Place 2 to come out!

The meta elements are pretty, I kind of think that the game's general aesthetic and the uninspired antagonist hinder it a bit. I think the minimalist angle with its design is good for that "malware" aesthetic, but the stock writing/imagery undermine the scares even before it turns into a big skull jpg. The permission thing is interesting because its good it asks that but yeah it does miss a bit of what made old stuff like Luna Game scary; finding a random game on the internet as a kid and having that part of your brain do "wait did I ACTUALLY download something I shouldn't have?". That said there's something genuinely sweet about a horror game being willing to pull back the curtain and tell you its just a game before doing anything crazy, gives the vibe a friend trying to scare you.

Honesty, a better true ending could be taking advantage of how Nightmare gets more casual near the end of the game, and having some time of boss where you basically manipulate Nightmare into falling for some trap or something.Kinda like Lord X in the .exe games where he gets impatient.
