This SulMatul guy has reviewed/analyzed Pathologic and The Void too.

I finally finished Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition; it is a pretty good remake.

The Gabriel Knight series is my favorite, just because the great plots Jane Jensen came out with.

His analysis of Pathologic is quite unsurpassed, detailing, over the course of more than two hours of video, every aspect of the story as experienced by all three playable characters.

Re: Video Games

It has been a long time since I played a video game, but I am tempted to try this one. I love the animation.

Beat new Resident Evil 2 on the hardest difficulty as both Claire and Leon. This game is really nice, but I wish the A and B scenarios had the variety of the original RE2 game's dual scenario system. My only major complaint.

Now to beat Hunk's scenario without breaking my controller.

Going through Siren. I love and hate it. Eerie, ambitious and fascinating, but unruly and maddening due to abstruse objectives. Impossible to beat without a guide.

Downloaded it to my PS4 along with Layers of Fear and Detention. I almost exclusively play horror games.

I finished Siren. Gameplay-wise it's a mess, but the atmosphere is the best you'll find outside of Team Silent's original Silent Hill games, which is perhaps due to it being by the director of Silent Hill 1. If you can look past the ridiculous flaws this is something special. The gaming equivalent of Hodgson's The Night Land. Highly recommended for the curious few. Very Lovecraftian. The nest at the end reminded me of Uzumaki.

Re: Video Games
 

have you played the Siren remake? also Outlast 1 and 2? I get so anxious playing horror games but I greatly admire them even tho I feel unable to play them. what about resident evil 7? I know that one also has PS VR support which I imagine would be terrifying
