Lo-fi indie game Hide makes dark forests scary again
Rock Paper Shotgun brings word of Hide, a short lo-fi horror game with a striking visual style. The aim is to wonder through a snowy forest to reach five different locations and read their plaques while being hunted by unknown enemies. Similar to Amnesia: The Dark Descent there's no way to physically fight back against your pursuers, so your only form of defense is simply to run and hide. It was made for the Super Friendship Club's Justice Pageant, a month-long game making challenge based on a single theme. While short on content the maker Adam Shouldice has done a great job at using an arguably scrappy aesthetic to create a convincing and threatening atmosphere. If the style is enough to pique your interest, then be sure to give it a go. Justice Pageant - Hide [Super Friendship Club via Rock, Paper, Shotgun] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Kinda sucks that you can't tell where the map ends until you suddenly stop being able to go forward, especially since there's no way of telling you've stopped when you can't see any reference points in front of you. The whole "arty" aspect of having random "bad things" on all of the signs kinda kills the tension. Interesting experiment, but still needs more work to get the "game" aspect to be compelling. His name is ANDREW Shouldice, not Adam. Didn't know him well but I went to uni with him, heh. Gonna check this out later... but these kinds of games are always hit and miss for me (mostly miss). Sorry for the double, doesn't look like I an edit my previous one. Here's his site with other experimental games/tools. http://andrewshouldice.com/ Uncomfortable as fuck playing this. Not just because of the dark, moody atmosphere, but also because you're playing as an escaped convict. *playing Hide*
Awesome! 'Error Failed to load mono Details: mono: failed to load dll' *sigh* Any tech wizards out there willing to lend a playa a hand? I played this for about 5 minutes staring at the ground, not realizing that I could look around with the mouse. It's pretty enjoyable now that I've figured that out. God, I loved this. I got three of them before I was caught. I feel that if I play it again so soon, I'll lose the atmospheric factor you get on that first run. Might try it again, after a while. I'm able to get 4 out of 5, but by then, they're all on top of me. I can't seem to get all 5. I'll try again later. This game is scarier than Dead Space, and about on par with Amnesia. :-| I got 3 out of 5. The first time you see a flashlight, I was so freaked out. Thanks for the heads up! Interesting premise, but it feels more like a tech demo than a full game. Having to keep tapping the forward key to run felt awkward. Otherwise it seems like a good game. 11:00 AM on 05.18.2013 Review: The Starship Damrey"This game contains no tutorials or explanations. Part of the experience is to discover things for yourself."
