RPS on Machine for Pigs

[Alardem]

Getting trailers and interviews where the developers promise a horror game, and getting one? Not the same thing at all.

Dude there are different kinds of horror. They promised survival horror and I got psychological horror. For me thats a big deal and a huge mistake. I love psychological horror and thats what I did like part of the game but still I was expecting survival horror so there was a little dissapointment that ruined my experience with this game. Its like going to watch a slasher film and having only two bloody scenes in the whole movie. Thats how this game felt for me. I was expecting fear, crying and screaming and I didnt got any of that. Does that makes it a bad game? Of course not. It just makes it a game that was sold the wrong way

No, they promised psychological horror. Can't dig up previews right now (damn Google), but the developers did say that they were downplaying the survival elements -limited light resources and sanity management - in favor of a different experience. Seriously, if you've been following the game's marketing and the few scant tidbits released about it (poems, interviews, and two vague videos), the final product shouldn't have been a surprise.

I myself had been expecting something much more bloody and vicious - Quake 4's Human-Processing Facility on steroids - because of the concept art, but in the end we did get a story full of depravity, grime and plenty of blood. If you were expecting a shallow experience about reveling in guts and cheap thrills, I'm sorry but Amnesia and Penumbra have ALWAYS been surprisingly restrained with gore, considering their settings. You might like Outlast and its comical overuse of gore, though. :p
