Has anyone else played this? It reminded me a lot of Silent Hill, and a little of David Lynch stuff too. It's a 2D survival horror game where stuff is happening to the main character that he doesn't completely understand. I liked it.



The guy who made it also made a "demake" of the beginning of SH2: Soundless Mountain II

I bought it, it's quite creepy.

Very easy to get stuck in though.

It's more Silent Hill than these new Silent Hill Games... I suggest Rosseter & Fungo check this indie gem out. Apparently, Tomm Hulett was pissed off when some neogaf user told him that Lone Survivor was more Silent Hill than downpour xD.Tomm even made two blog posts over the game. I found it very infuriating when he claimed the game was trying too hard to be Silent Hill 2. Funny how all the previous 4 games tried to do the same and failed miserably. This guy on the other hand, does it admirably!

Tom Hulett is a try-too-hard crybaby cash in on anything to make money assclown. Of course he would be mad over something as trivial as that.

I got it from the recent Humble Bundle but I have yet to play it. Might try it this weekend.

Reminds me of Fragile Dreams.

Fragile Dreams was really bad.

I mean, it was interesting.

But really bad. Terrible game. So many bad designs in one game.

The plot was pretty much tl;dr shintoism

I liked Fragile Dreams. The feeling of being alone was intense and not scary. Just depressing enough for me to want to find people.

The creator of Soundless Mountain II?

Ah, these are good news on their own accord! I'd love to try it out but possibility is I won't be able to gather the money. My parents are very strict on internet purchases.

Whoa! Some guy stole my most precious possession! Ahh!- wait better light a fire and sit for a bit. Or maybe just constantly light fires over and over again.

Seriously, you walk ten steps and you can see the previous fire and yet you light another one. Who designed this game, some sort of pyromaniac?

Also he buries the robot. What, couldn't hold onto him 'till you found some batteries?

This whole game is laced with bad gameplay choices and terrible pacing.
