My messy ho MC is living her best life (for now) and I cannot wait for the rest!! Take care of yourselves and drink a lot of water!!

Thank you so much!

I was okay with The Cabin in the Woods though, that was a great movie.

Thanks so much for your time and for making recommendations, a good scare is fun!

If you liked Cabin in the Woods, I’d suggest Behind the Mask: Rise of Leslie Vernon, and The Final Girls which imho do the same thing but are more knowledgeable about the genre. Both are horror with a layer of humor and not heavy on gore.

However, if we’re talking more about surreal horror that relies more on strange imagery, feelings of dread, suspense, etc here’s some options:

Have to mention David Lynch again because of movies like Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and of course the Twin Peaks series.

I will also add another favorite, Stalker, which I find is incredibly fear inducing with no actual source. However, it is three hours long and in Russian with subtitles. Still, worth it.

Since you mentioned Midsommer, I assume you’ve seen the original Wicker Man (not the Nick Cage remake) and since you mentioned It Follows, also assuming you’ve seen The Babadook but if not, consider them strong recommendations. Also, I consider Lords of Salem an interesting pairing with The Shining.

Beyond the Black Rainbow is a really excellent surreal movie styled after the 80s and light on gore, heavy on atmosphere, trippy imagery, and a synthwave score. Watch the trailer and if you dig it, that movie is for you. The second film by the same director, Mandy, is if anything better and more surreal, but also features substantially more gore so take it as you will.

You’ll want to watch everything by Osgood Perkins of course. You could perhaps skip I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In the House, but he does a great job with heavy atmosphere and complex movies. Also, if you liked Get Out, follow it up with His House. And if The Ring was good for you, consider Z and also Stillborn by Brandon Cristensen although if I had to pick one I’d go with Z. I’ve heard good things about Spring but I haven’t seen it.

hey guys 😏

What would the ROs do 😂

IM DYING OH MY GOD AHAHAHA 😂

Okay yeah Oisein and the Healer would lose their goddang minds, just immediate tears-in-their-eyes, raucous cackling. One or both of them would also probably start doing the same face/yell ajdkflajksd

I think the Magesmith wouldn't register what was going on at first before just gradually turning away with their lips rolled and pressed extremely tight together, trying not to also bust out laughing. But their shoulders are a dead giveaway.

And the Sage would be like ????? Do they really like this shirt or are they pulling a prank??? Do I defend them??? Do I compliment them??? wha-

Also where can I get this shirt 👀

Really though, you did an absolutely fantastic job on descriptions with this game!! It was all set up SO well, and I really liked how it was all very grounded in reality, but then the horror elements would kick in here and there like "hey there, don't get too comfy" and I can't wait to see how the next chapter goes and for us to meet the rest of the cast!!

You gave us so much just in the prologue and chapter one! I was like wow I might have to make this two posts, this is so much content and we haven't hit chapter two yet. 😂

I actually did it completely blind, I didn't even refresh my brain on who the LIs were, which is why I made the Sylvester route comment. Dang, first I can't eat the slime then I can't date the slime?? At least I can still try for the eldritch god being person. Sysba! C'mere I feel like danger. 😏

I loved it!!! It was a delight to read, and I always love knowing what runs through peoples minds when they play through the game!! I’m incredibly excited that you’re excited for what’s next; it makes me happy to hear that the game manages to retain its touch with reality, despite the horror elements—that’s what I was aiming for! 

Also you aren’t the only one who wants the Sylvester route apparently, aha, but you’re right when you say that Sysba is definitely around!!
