Wee. I'm sort of wondering how I'm going to do with the chase scenes...I guess I'll be dying a lot, haha.
I actually ran up to Mr. Face to make sure he could attack you. Turns out he can. Though he's REALLY slow. He hit me...stared for three seconds...hit me again...stared for 4 seconds...and then killed me. I got a good look at him, hahaha.
Btw...does anyone else ever end the game with a crapload of tinder boxes? My last run through I ended up with 73 by the time I got to Alexander. I rarely ever used them and I'm finding way more now that I'm actually checking every nook and cranny for the maps...though I'm using a lot more now to light up rooms as I draw them out.
Anyways...WATER DEMON TIME. WOO.

I'm probably not going to make it through with that many tinderboxes at the end this time around, but then again it is my first play-through and I'm still getting used to the controls (only Steam games I played before this were Portal/Portal 2) and the atmosphere and everything. It's a lot easier when you get used to the way Daniel's vision goes all wonky when his sanity's low, though. At first it was making me kinda seasick but now it's... well, bearable.
Probably just to confuse you... (since what's wrong with straying...? Tinderboxes and oil here I come!)
One part of me does want to approach it very logically ("It's a game, you can't die. I have a map and I can see a monster will approach me in 3 sec... etc." doing things like deliberately walking in them (which I find actually less scary than walking around, knowing mr. Face is there somewhere ready to pop up anytime, anywhere and chase the crap out of me)) and thus making it less scary and such (since I think that if I try very hard I can make my mind find this game not so scary at all. Tough I would have to "cheat" tough (like using maps, walktroughs, etc.))
And another part of me just doesn't want to "spoil the experience" and play it as you should. And thus end up SUPER scared, but "enjoying" the game the way it was meant to...
Just a split, since it's really, really scary... but once you know it, there will never be a first time again and I might just have "wasted" it.
Well, I just hope that "a machine for pigs" is gonna be equally good!
And awesome work on the maps! Though I'm not really sure if I want to use them or not...
But I'm still not sure if I should use them or not... tho if I won't I'll probably never get trough the prison, haha
