On my second run when I turned up the difficulty from baby mode to normal. I consciously banned myself from using the lockers. Otherwise, I would make zero progress and spend an hour at a time stuck in that locker looking for an opportunity. Damn ai branch learning, it had me locked down good and I’ve not seen as scary of a game since.

Yeah took me a min to realize this isn't a DOOM type game but the complete opposite. And honestly I rate isolation as one of my top 3 horror/stealth games ever. I think the slowness and being absolutely helpless besides hiding pretty much is where the true horror comes on. It's mostly all created by your own mind. And then once you tell yourself it's all in your head. You leave the locker and realized that was a terrible mistake.

Edit: if you have anything along the same lines would love some recommendations

Horror recommendations? Not that I play many or ones where you’re as helpless as Alien.

  • GTFO - co-op, slow & stressful, FPS, horror
  • Calisto Protocol - is brand new, has a shit ton of performance issues, but something about some of the enemies fundamentally makes my skin crawl. FPS, it’s dead space.

Actually dead space is one of the others in my top 3. Absolutely amazing and even through the 3rd one. But all and all Dead Space (chef kiss)
