I find it amusing that it is only when playing as The Dog that you can kill any demons with your Bark Attack. But as the Postman, it seems all you can do is run from the monsters attacking you. Guess All Dogs really DO go to Heaven.

In witchcraft and the occult, usually it's the cats that protect you from spiritual or ethereal threats, and the dogs protect you from physical and tangle ones. Though it makes some sense that if the dog is in the real where these entities exist in tangible form, then it could actually destroy them. Cats and witches go together for this reason. Nothing all that sinister about innocent cats. Specially black ones. In fact, for witches it's the opposite belief: black cats are good luck, well the rest of people tend to fear them and kill them on halloween -please protect them.

I kinda took the reaction to Neil to be more fake than supernatural forgetfulness. "Neil? Neil who? I never heard of no Neil." They knew what happened to him and warned him about causing trouble and panic in their little town, so they took care of him. They're just relying on the fact the mailman doesn't know what's going on and is too new to the area to really have any idea who Neil was.

I’ve noticed a lot of Horror Games recently have been low quality or very childish. For example Helltown, The one Llama Killer game, The Bonnie’s Bakery, or even Amanda the Adventure. Maybe it starts off friendly so people can get comfortable then put them in a horror survival experience.
@Totodex Рік тому
well this game is from 2017 so its not exactly new to match that trend.
@Metalweregarurumon Рік тому
Low quality stuff is easy to shift from higher to lower for scares/effects. Not to mention better file size and ect. Also taking a setting that is bright and cheery and making it perverted in someway normally makes it for an easy way to unsettle people.

This sort of thing is pretty common in horror media. Something looks unassuming and happy, only so that it can be all the scarier for its actual horrors. It's like going in a hot tub before leaping into a cold pool, the sheer difference amplifies the shock. Not to mention, it both makes you put your guard down just a little bit, and it builds tension as you wait for the horror you know is approaching.

Wait what if it's like where John already died, and was already caught. He lives through what happened over and over as a external nightmare forever, as in whatever ending he gets he will "relive" the nightmare forever. Or he it's like how when he woke up from the running in the woods as if it was a nightmare, but in reality it was a faint memory from his past "life" when he was running from the graveyard. So no matter what happens, it will repeat FOREVER. Lol idk if that made sense😅

Ok, but let me expain (as European you should recognize classic medieval arts). It is not nun painting, it is modification of one of medieval Eastern European Virgin Mary Icons, there is some mayor changes in this picture. You should know that in icons everything have matters: position, color, greek symbols, gesture ect. When we compare real icon with this one in game, you can see some not accidental changes: picture is fliped horizontaly, Mary have black dress and of coures instead of Jesus, there is some piece of meat (?). Ok, it is enought of history of art for today. Have a nice day / night :)
