Sound design is nothing to write home about either, everything sounds pretty much the way you’d expect it to. I don’t remember if there was any music, so there either isn’t any, or it’s so forgettable it isn’t worth mentioning. This option doesn’t just cover up nudity, but sex toys as well.

It lacks the fidelity of a AAA title, but looks good enough to be fully immersive. The abandoned theater setting isn’t necessarily explored at its fullest, but the auditorium offers an understated, yet visually impressive hub you will return to several times. The real world environments are sufficiently realistic and make excellent use of light and darkness to create a genuinely haunting atmosphere. GRAPHICS & AUDIO – SCREAM BLOODY MURDER The Environments I am willing to forgive the lackluster combat, however, since it is specifically meant to be panic-inducingly unreliable. It’s unclear how it is determined how many hits an enemy can survive I think hitting them in the head kills them more quickly, but even replaying the encounter multiple times I couldn’t find a pattern. There’s no way to block attacks, and no reliable method of dodging them either. To my knowledge, there are no instant-kill stealth takedowns, so the best you’ll get is the first swing during the ensuing slap fight. You have to hold down RMB and then click LMB to attack. My first thought when trying to draw attention was to use the knife to smash a wine glass on a nearby table, but that proved impossible.

The developers claim that the environments are full of interactive objects, which is frankly not true. I really enjoyed this clever repurposing of an existing part of the world. Instead, you have to reuse an object that was previously part of a puzzle to make noise. Doesn’t exactly feel fair, considering I myself can’t see a thing.Ĭreating a distraction is fortunately more involved than in many other stealth games, as you can’t just throw a rock into a corner.

What does and does not meet the minimum requirements of being disturbing seems a little arbitrary, but it creates a fitting feeling of unease when around mangled corpses. A number of particularly gruesome sights can take a quarter of your mental health when examined too closely. This is also where Scarlet’s obligatory sanity mechanic comes into play. Any patroling enemy that sees you will immediately rush you, with no grace period to break line of sight. These segments offer fairly basic puzzles and stealth encounters nothing you haven’t seen before. You will find yourself in the alien world of Alan’s nightmares a few times. The QTE’s can be skipped in the options menu, which really goes to show how little the interactivity matters here. These button presses do not line up with the rhythm of the act, making me wonder what they are meant to emulate.

The term “interactive” is used very liberally here, as there is simply a series of Quick Time Events requiring you to press the Left Mouse Button at the right time. Rhea has a number of obstacles prepared, and she insists you solve them before, ahem… claiming your reward. Sadly, this is as good as the erotic horror gets. This creates a sense of anticipation that grows stronger in tandem with the silent dread and tension the dark, derelict environment commands. From a story perspective, it’s an excellent way of making both the player and the protagonist repeatedly picture a decreasingly dressed woman. This is clever on two levels, one of which I will get back to in the Gameplay section.

She instructs Alan to follow the trail of her clothes she left behind.

It’s almost as if Rhea was reading off a script or something. While they use a lot of clichéd lines – mentioning how improperly they have been behaving, and how deserving they are of corporal punishment – this actually turns out to work in the story’s favor. The two talk dirty quite a bit, and it’s all convincingly delivered. While the two are talking over the phone, it’s quickly and organically established that Rhea must have promised Alan a particularly kinky encounter. I was genuinely impressed with the quality of both the writing and voice acting on display here. There is only one of these overbearing text walls.
