Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

^What about ones that crawl on your skin than burrow into your veins?

I don't like spiders, they scare the crap out of me, but I'd in no way shape or form would remove them or not buy a horror game because they had them in it.

Just seems kind of against the point of playing a horror games, but hey, I guess there are people who are that affected, like my friend who I recommended Penumbra to. After they played it for an hour, their first response to me was "f**k you!", because it apparently scared the living day-lights out of them. They haven't finished it yet, they only play it in 15 - 20 minute segments. XD

I remember back in the day, System Shock 2 scared the bejeezus out of people who are afraid of spiders.

Any news now that you're in beta and everything?

I don't think Frictional Games will tell people what's in the game.
It's a horror game, so I see no point of telling that sort of an information.

Let's see. They told/showed us that:
- we're in a castle
- we got a lamp
- Daniel can talk
- there's a woman
- there's a voice talking to us
- Enemies even with a nice picture
- we have no memories
- there are "world-turns-red-and-weird-things-appear" Events
- we have some NPC interaction
[the list continues]

But they supposedly wont tell us if there are spiders or not?

Only one enemy is being showcased so people can get confused on how it looks like a smudged painting and concentrate on it. You shouldn't know what the rest is because you have fucking amnesia. I think the information given is enough.

Regarding the spider issue:

We want to keep info on what lurks behind the castle walls to a minimum. But I can disclose that there will be less spider presence than in Penumbra: Overture.

Thomas, How much in game of enemies?

Do you really want to know? Half the fun is being surprised by new types of monsters, it's not fun if you're spoiled beforehand.
