Creating a horror game inspired by a real location in Mexico, called Island of Dolls. Let me know what you think of the trailer!

Hey all! I recently announced my newest game I have been working on for the past couple of months and it's my biggest one yet! The game name is "Where Dolls Hang".

The game is inspired by a real-life location (Mexico, Island of Dolls) and puts you in the role of a detective. Players will investigate by marking clues, handling bodies, and surviving on a boat while navigating wetlands, swamps, and forests filled with hanging dolls. Along the way, you’ll craft weapons and build your own shelter to stay alive.

It would be awesome wishlist it and tell me what you think. It would mean the world to me, for real :)

No AI-generated assets! We’re building our horror game by hand

Hey everyone,

We know many players dislike AI-generated assets in games, and we totally understand that.

We’re a small indie team working on The Infected Soul, a 2-4 player co-op psychological horror game. We don’t use AI-generated assets in the game itself. We only use AI as a support tool during early concept and idea development.

Everything you see in-game is built by our team.

We really care about our community, so your feedback and suggestions mean a lot to us.

The game is still WIP, and if it looks interesting to you, wishlisting The Infected Soul on Steam would support our small team a lot.

Combat in silent hill

I have both silent hill 2 remake and silent hill F in my collection but haven’t got round to them yet. I’m just wondering if the combat in both is similar to Alan Wake 2

Silver Pines should be on your radar!

Just played the Silver Pines demo and it felt so reminiscent of Silent Hill. Definitely giving the Twin Peaks inspiration, throw in some Alan Wake too. It's a fantastic game that I can't wait to dig into until Townfall!

Do you have Any other ideas for different and unique survival horror experience for the series?

I love both style of action and survival, melee attacks, parry, destructive barrels, stab enemies etc.

But i just got bored of the same style over and over again, i want a different experience with new unique combat for the series, do you have any ideas that capcom could make for the next titles in future to provide a new fresh and good RE experience?

I Reviewed Flesh Made Fear (PS5). I Feel Like It Didn't Quite Nail The Concept

Hey, I'm not sure if linking away is allowed here at all, so I'm posting my video directly here as I know that this sub is definitely gonna have even more enthusiastic and knowledgable fans of survival horror here compared to me. This is how I felt about the game after being quite pumped to play it, but I was wondering if I really am in the minority with this. I'm always up for a good discussion.

Would a single-player third-person shooter with this core mechanic be considered a survival horror game, or just another hardcore action horror game?

The core mechanic is a backpack-and-quick-access inventory system. The player has a backpack with virtually unlimited capacity and can store all kinds of items inside it.
However, the quick-access inventory has limited capacity, and the player can only carry a few types of items there, usually including ammo, medical supplies, explosives, and similar resources. When enemies do not detect the player, or when the player is not in combat, the player can use items from both the backpack and the quick-access inventory. Otherwise, the player can only use items from the quick-access inventory. Opening the backpack HUD does not pause the game. The backpack HUD will close automatically when enemies detect the player.
Weapons must be equipped before use, and the player can only equip two weapons at a time. Weapons consume ammo stored in the quick-access inventory.

What Games *Actually* Need a Remake

I’ve been playing a shit ton of PS1 / PS2 survival horror games like Fatal Frame, Kuon, and Silent Hill 4, and honestly most of these games don’t really *need* to be remade. Not only are they pretty accessible via emulation, but they hold up great! I mean I didn’t grow up playing these at all, but I’ve had no problem getting into the kinda clunkier feel of the early stuff.

Except for one game… Rule of Rose. It’s a great game in all ways except one… what’s the deal with the combat guys. It is straight up broken. A full remake of this game would elevate it to one of the best of all time. Honestly, the graphics are fine. Having a combat system that’s fun and engaging would be amazing. Are there any other games you can think of that actually need a remake and aren’t just old enough to justify one (I’ve loved the RE remakes but let’s be real, RE4 didn’t *need* a remake).

I'm creating a horror game where you can find real VHS films and watch full-length hour long horror movies in-game - Like Night of the Living Dead!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well.

I just wanted to show a little update on a feature that I am currently working on for my horror game, the game is inspired by Mexican folklore and a real-life location called The Island of Dolls. It's currently my biggest one yet!

Still very early but It's a survival-horror game mixed in with paranormal stuff. Think of something like The Forest, Outlast, P.T and Silent Hill combined. I added a feature where you can watch real hour long movies that you can find in VHS cassettes tapes... like the legendary Night of the living dead!

Let me know what you think or what movies I should include haha. If you like it would mean a lot to a solo dev like myself if you can wishlist it on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4581370/Where_Dolls_Hang

Thank you and it would really help me out a ton and do let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions or such! :)

Hypothetical discord

I’m 21F. I honestly don’t have friends to play with. I’m thinking of making an 18+ discord for people who would wanna chill, talk, and maybe play together. Would anyone be interested?

Glad we got out of the dark ages

I will admit there was some good stuff in the Early 2010s like Dead Space 2 and Alien Isolation but it was depressing seeing critically acclaimed franchises like Resident Evil, Dead Space and Silent Hill shitting the bed all at once

Also I dont know if you guys remember but Amy was massively hyped when it was shown off in trailers, for it's 'revolutionary' mechanics, and then the game came out and was one of most disappointing games ever made, earning a 22 on metacritic, one of the lowest scores given for a game ever

The dreamer floats in the sea of flesh…Signalis BURNED 🔥

One of the most obscure games I’ve ever played 🤯

🔥 Survival Horror at its BEST - scarce ammo and health. Times where you feel helpless running from twisted enemies.

🔥 Intense atmosphere - derelict, dark rooms and hallways, enemies pop out of nowhere!

🔥 Gothic story that make you question your sanity - Think the King in Yellow, what is real and what is not?

🔥 Puzzles that make resident evil games look amateur - Enjoyable, frustrating and mind bending.

One that I won’t be forgetting! This deserves a 9/10, shocked at how this was developed by an indie studio. A MUST BUY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Anybody Know The Copyright Status Of ‘Clock Tower’?

EDIT: Found the trademark on an English website. It’s been renewed in 2024 until 2034. Capcom does not own Clock Tower at all despite collaborating with them. Sun Corporation, who own Sunsoft, are the sole trademarked owners of the Clock Tower franchise.

Does anybody know the current copyright status of Clock Tower? I know it’s currently owned by Sunsoft (after Human Entertainment disbanded) and according to a discussion on the wiki, the copyright was actually renewed last time it was checked. But that was in 2016. Almost 10 years ago.

I tried to check a couple official websites from Japan with copyright licenses, but nothing came up for both the English and Japanese Clock Tower title. But I’m not sure if that’s because I did it wrong or if it wasn’t renewed by Sunsoft or sold to another company.

Is it still owned by somebody? Or is Clock Tower now public domain?
