I think it would be interesting if you had other characters or creatures which do not attack you in the game. I think this is missing from most Horror or Exploring Backroom games. They might be able to help a player with the puzzles if the player seems stuck or bring the creepy world to life being they seem lost like you or maybe can even be attacked by wondering creatures leading to the fear of Dredd of you being next. Great game that does this multiplayer wise is Lethal Company. But Wishing you can have this same experience in a Single Player environment. Being able to bring custom NPC's or characters in the game would be a unique feature I believe. Games which I can remember gave me this Vibe as well are the original Half Life 1 & 2 Games and Unreal 1.

I mean there are friendly entities clockface and tree guy they just follow you around with their eyes. And it’s rumored to have other friendly entities. But for talking ones out of my knowledge there is no plan it will make Caleb seam schizo to me.

imo the "liminal" feeling is when a place that is meant to be populated, is empty. A mall, for example, is only liminal when theres no one to shop. Or a school is only liminal when the classrooms and halls are vacant.

It still can be that way, but in my opinion I find it more frightening when you sometimes have some or very little around the area. Again if you want the same crap. go play all the backroom games or Pool games.

but they’re not wrong? adding living entities removes the liminal feel. in the game, we relive caleb’s childhood memories to process a traumatic event. having npcs to interact with detracts from that. we already have monsters and a narrator and things that look at you. what more are you asking for here?
i don’t want “lethal company” creatures in this game, because that would completely change the tone and feel of it
same reason multiplayer isn’t planned (nor should it be)

Then why should I care to buy this game? When you are doing nothing new or adding anything to the horror element. This just sounds like a me too game now. Also you can’t seem to make up your mind. That if this games have enemies or not when it clearly does!

Imagine if dark souls games never added multiplayer. Seriously just quit if you are a game developer 🙄 you clearly want nothing new or certain genres to evolve.

“nothing new” yeah we clearly have nothing left to talk about lol. sorry the demo didn’t resonate with you 👋
and for the record, dark souls without multiplayer is an awesome game

Again you don’t get it! It is okay go back and play doom. Also I never said it wasn’t an awesome game without it.
