I highly doubt "Vampire Survivors" is a horror game. Got unlocked the Yellow Sign, it scared the shit out of me. Thankfully I'm playing this game in the afternoon instead of usually midnight.
@skyblond@qoto.org Wait, it scared the shit out of you, but you don't think it is a horror game? 🤨
@trinsec The early game is pretty normal. You get your character beating human shaped enemies, maybe also some bats, nothing unusual.
Then you enter a bonus stage, and after 14 minutes of playing, the screen starts wrapping, and suddenly, you get teleported to a totally different stage, then unlock an item. Then you might be expecting the ending screen showing your performance in this run (like naive me), but then there is a creepy back hand animation start clapping and screen start zooming in. And the game just restarted, but everything is out of order like gibberish.
I looked up the wiki, and they said from this point that the game really started.
@skyblond@qoto.org Heh. Looks like it's a bullet-hell type game with a dark fantasy setting.
@trinsec yeah, and steam tag didn't mention it's a horror game 🤔
But it's pretty fun to play, the game keeps unlocking new designs/features when you put more time on it. And each run is about 15 minutes, super easy to spend hours on it without noticing
@trinsec The game is kind of low resolution, like the old 8 bit fashion but fancier. With that visual effect, I don't know why, but that black yellowish hand animation scared me every time
