Hey survival horror fans! Hope you are well.
Just wanted to share my new game trailer that I released a few days ago about a horror game that I am creating by myself which is mostly inspired by a Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Outlast and also a real life location in Mexico!
The game is a survival psychological horror game, mixed in with some Mexican Folklore as well.
Do let me know what you think of the new trailer! Mostly in this trailer I just wanted to show off the environment and ambiance that I am going for, as in the game I am currently focusing on ambiance horror rather then jumpscares and such so it's going to be a bit different then what I usually do.
It would mean the world to me as a solo developer if you can wishlist, share the game and tell me your feedback as it really helps me out a ton! :)

Thank you all so much and do let me know what you think, appreciate you all!

SILVERPINE CREEK on PS5: a more aggressive witch and voice detection through the DualSense mic [Developer update]
Developer disclosure: I’m posting on behalf of the SILVERPINE CREEK team.
We have updated our released PS5 survival horror game with an even more aggressive Witch Korana. Voice-sensitive gameplay uses the DualSense controller’s built-in microphone: speaking can reveal your position.
You investigate missing tourists in an abandoned village through bodycam/VHS-style found footage. There are no weapons; awareness, timing and a camera flash are your means of survival. The update is about making the witch feel more threatening while your own voice becomes another risk.
This post is about the PS5 title. Official PlayStation Store page with screenshots and game details:

An amazing year for survival horror fans
We've been getting fed this year.
Requem was amazing. SH Townfall was good (not my favorite because of the focus on stealth, but a solid game overall). Silver Pines is an absolute gem and might just be my favorite game of the year. I'm currently playing through Hellraiser Revival and loving the creativity.
Planning to play Tenebris Somnia next, it looks dope.
What are y'all's fave survival horror games of the year? Any hidden gems?

Animal Crossing but it's horror? "Happy to Help!"
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello, I am a solo dev and currently working on a little survival horror game called "Happy to Help!".
A satire of Animal Crossing (which I love and play since the gamecube btw) in a disturbed world where animals seem to have taken over...
Oh and a white rabbit chases you with an axe!
If this is something that intrigues you, it would mean the world to me if you took the time to wishlist it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5192870/Happy_to_Help/
Than you for your time!

My Rankings: Lesser talked about Horror Games
Since it's spooky season I thought I'd rank some of the lesser talked about horror games I've played.

What are your thoughts on light management and bio-scanners in cave horror games?
Hey everyone!
A game currently in development called
MOVILLIA revolves around exploring pitch-black alien cave systems where your flashlight battery is scarce, and bio-scanners are used to spot mutated fauna in the dark.
How do you feel about mechanics where darkness is a constant threat and you have to rely heavily on scanner tools?

My survival horror inspired game Heartworm is out now on PS4/5, Switch 1/2, and Xbox One/S/X!
I finally was able to release my game Heartworm on all current and prev. gen consoles last week! It's heavily inspired by early survival horror games as well as games like Alone in the Dark and Myst.
If you want to check it out it would be greatly appreciated and a review would also be huge help.
It's really hard to get traction on consoles especially as an indie and I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks!

Made a big jump to U6 from Unity 2022.3 and I opened up new graphical goodies!
So here's the biggest adjustments for my HDRP pipeline.
- Subsurface scattering - Violet's skin actually looks like skin now. That's so freaking cool and the expense is similar to running a shadow
- Lens flares - not going crazy like a Star Trek reboot, but it does enhance things and it's super cool
- DLSS4 Support - DLSS5 is coming and I can't wait to see it work
- Screen Space reflections - had issues in 2022, but they fixed it in 6 and it looks great.
What do you guys think? Improvement or barely noticeable? The sharper/harder images are old, the softer are with the SSS.
The game is Seventh Seal - available as a demo now on steam if you're interested in checking it out!

The Silent Hill 2 soundtrack reimagined as a metal music playlist Spoiler
It’s that time of year when Halloween is just around the corner and people are bringing out horror movies to watch and playing horror video games. One of the most iconic horror video games is Silent Hill 2 and one big reason it was so successful was the deep evocative atmosphere that the soundtrack creates from thoughtful repose to deep melancholy to industrial horror.
As a metalhead who loves going to metal shows, I decided that I wanted to do a project—I reimagined the original video game soundtrack using metal music songs instead. This new playlist I created is honestly in some ways scarier than the original if possible, as I am drawing from some of the very types of music that inspired Akira Yamaoka in the first place.
We start with Ducere me in Lucem, a wordless (but not vocal less) track that to me represent an overture, perhaps James thinking of his wife before the start of our soundtrack.
https://youtu.be/HH7Ff-8ddTw?is=WHIinYM8kZ67FIfr
The next track is the a Wuthering Heights cover performed by Karliene. This song is in a lower key than the original, and also has fog sounds at the beginning and the ends. Wuthering Heights like Silent Hill is a story of a lovers tragedy, and is about a female ghost asking to see her lover again at their place where they meet. This is very reminiscent of the opening scene where James reads Mary’s letter.
https://youtu.be/tcPrv_6jhRk?is=UB06VN_UUPCK8gqR
Then comes James’ long walk into town through the nature path. He is thinking of his wife and his sorrow over her death along this silent and somber path. My Wine in Silence fits this lonely walk.
is=jm0NQzLlKHyEIsAI
James enters the town proper and walks through the town. The fog is suffocating, and here James encounters his first Lying Ones. The heaviness of the atmosphere thickens. The synth on this funeral doom track reflect the continuation of James outdoor walk, while the growls and harsh vocals represent his encounters with the sluggish Lying Ones
https://youtu.be/bGxh9iJn6Ms?is=2vbtBe2GRHx2kK0j
James makes his way through the Woodside and Creekside apartments to the sound of the instrumental version of Slipknots Iowa. The wet noises sound like the Mannequins that James encounters in this area. The nature noises have disappeared and only eerie footsteps are left in their wake.
https://youtu.be/Dgm1hvuQE1w?is=b0C_-yjx-0A88uxc

The first fight with pyramid head is startling as he sneaks up on you and it catches you by surprise. Godflesh’s Christbait Rising will do likewise…
https://youtu.be/zVSW_1kBhqg?is=FkGbCltEzYbcSnRh
After leaving the apartments, James finds Maria. I used a 1 minute fog section to represent this shift of atmosphere as the outdoor sounds return.
https://youtu.be/sA54Xk1eHvc?is=vFkAbMy3Mq_KEigM
Maria represents his pent up sexual fustration and guilt. Peter Steel of Type O Negative and his voice evoke similar feelings of obsessive desire and guilt in Love You To Death.
https://youtu.be/rEN_KJny6Bg?is=Frw-7zDkHyq_zdEO
Another symbol of repressed desire are the bubble head nurses that James encounters with Maria in the Hospital. I have used the instrumental version of Killpop by Slipknot to represent his first encounters with these scary women.
https://youtu.be/V0OkxA2MgAo?is=
Mary is killed by Pyramid Head, leaving James alone once again. James travels to the Historical Society exploring it. Sunn O’s track the Weeper represents the cold isolation James feels traveling this part of the journey without him.
https://youtu.be/J5zioLEdGrE?is=bn
He finds a long staircase traveling down it and arriving in Toluca prison, the atmosphere is suffocating. James must solve a puzzle that involves him going back and forth between an outdoor area and an indoor area full of the upgraded mannequins that climb on the walls. I used Darkspace —Dark 1 to encapsulate the descent and journey though the nightmare-fueled frantic search to solve the puzzle.
https://youtu.be/FZ0H-5uN7TM?is=70NteBfIhj7RO4le
After escaping the prison, James is in an otherworld dimention where he must solve a rotating puzzle cube puzzle. I use Pluto the Gatekeeper by Mare Cognitum—cosmic black metal to represent the otherworldly atmosphere.
https://youtu.be/6exxMDwrArQ?is=J9qtF0ivtkgPo3s3
“It Took the Night to Believe” by Sunn O represents James traveling around the Lakeview Hotel and discovering that he killed Maria. The softer synth are contrasted with the harsh tormented vocals.
https://youtu.be/uTVNJWThv38?is=uDi9JKRPnf1zSKlM
The next song is for the double Pyramid Head fight, and I use Break those Bones Who Sinews Gave It Motion by Meshuggah (instrumental version). The mechanical slow riffs are reminiscent of the mechanical slow knifes of the pyramid heads and the feeling of impending doom.
https://youtu.be/O1EtqjIKntQ?is=j3U49o0WH_THxTUK
The next song, Gallows Birds by Trees of Eternity represents James accepting the truth and getting ready to face Mary. He has come to peace with his guilt and needs to do this one last thing to move on.
https://youtu.be/OrNjJwmB7jk?is=Hs9ajplgeVfFcQGF
Mirrors by Lebensucht represents the horror James feels at seeing the final boss and realizing that it is a twisted version of his wife on her deathbed. The agonizing screams represent her pain she is forcing him to feel and address during this final battle.
https://youtu.be/TV1zJZj6gUU?is=kcNarT952eH3eNpp
Darkness by Ignea represents James leaving Silent Hill with Laura. (You are welcome to interpret with a different ending if you want)
https://youtu.be/igs7oZpalaA?is=lNGpzsxh34Yrj_J9
Love Song for A Vampire represents James enduring love for Mary and that this will remain even as he moves on to a new chapter. It suggests a gothic ending. It can also can represent the call back to the start of James journey (In Water Ending)
Let's Discuss:
Now that you see what I envisioned, I want to hear from you:
Do you agree with the vibe for these scenes?
How would you change the tracklist to fit your own version of the remake?

The Cenobites are more than just monsters, and that's what makes Hellraiser so disturbing.
Pinhead gets most of the attention, but I think the other Cenobites are just as fascinating.
What makes them so disturbing isn't simply their appearance or the body horror. It's the feeling that each of them represents a different way the human body, identity, and even the idea of pleasure can be twisted into something completely alien.
They don't feel like ordinary movie monsters. They feel like beings who have crossed a line so far that the concepts of pain, pleasure, and humanity no longer mean the same thing to them.
And that's what makes the Cenobites so unsettling to me. They're not just trying to scare you. They make you question what a person could become after abandoning everything that once made them human.
Which Cenobite do you find the most disturbing, apart from Pinhead, and why?
