Mistake-1 (Half-Life mod)

It's a horror mod with rusty hospital chic. It's all about you tripping balls and fighting zombies, and though the latter could have used some work, the former certainly is brilliantly done. The atmosphere and sense of vulnerability are perfect, and it's very, very dark and loud.

Jump scares such as monster closets are very rare, but when they actually occur, they're pretty well-done, sort of like the skull-desk in Amnesia.

What little there is of the story is pretty cliché, but I think it's worth a play.

I couldn't stand it more than 15 minutes. When my flashlight dies, I close the game.

I don't think the flashlight is on a battery in this game. Unless you mean the spooky parts where you start getting mindfucked and it flickers on and off.

Not flickering, there are some parts that flashlight simply dies and you cannot see. While those goddamn zombiesh things are around, no... I can't play.

RE: Mistake (Half-Life mod)

Well from what I can tell from playing it a little bit so far, its more of that jump type of horror rather than being actually scary.

You know, random ass loud noise and sudden movement out of nowhere to get a cheap scare. More like shock. Although I haven't gotten too deep into it.

It's not shock horror. It's got sudden changes in the environment, but the atmosphere, darkness, ambient noise makes it freaking creepy.

Are you sure you were playing Mistake-1? I think there's another mod that was like a tech demo just called "Mistake" which I haven't played yet.

I should probably change the thread title and stuff to say that I'm talking about Mistake-1.

I remember this. But now you mentioned possibility, my game started on the top of the hospital. Maybe mine was a little messed up?

Yeah I got Mistake -1, and it just seems like one of those games that does something really sudden out of nowhere and blasts loud static noise to make you jump, rather than actually scare you. I've seen worse stuff from mainstream games, but I really didn't get too deep into it tbh so maybe theres something in it later. I'll check when I find the time to play it.
