Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. i can handle horror just fine, but Echoes of the Eye is on entirely another level of horror than most everything else. i was only able to complete about a third of it before i got too psyched out to continue
Is that some kind of DLC to an original game?
It is and both are masterpieces. I donβt like horror games and I bore through it. There is a setting to reduce frights but it does a good job using darkness and sound to freak you out. At least from the perspective of a person who doesnβt normally go for that kind of thing.
Hey. If you ever want to give it another go there is a spoiler I can share that will greatly help with those portions.
EOTE Spoilers
I think what's crazy about eote is that you figure things out that make everything visible, and once you understand how things work it really shouldn't be scary anymore.. but it is. As soon as you go back into the lantern's bubble you're just consumed by darkness and it feels just as scary as it was before - even though you know exactly what's in the dark.Eote is a masterpiece and I had to rly battle my fears to do it. Unlike the base game, you can play it in smaller pieces if playing it gets overwhelming
If you're still interested in finishing it:
Besides the tip given by someone else there's also a mod for PC that makes the scary parts significantly less scary: https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/eotebrighterdreams
